Working Note:-
Calculation of New profit-sharing ratio
| Remaining share | = | 1 | - | 1 |
| 5 |
| = | 5 - 1 |
| 5 |
| = | 4 |
| 5 |
To Calculate to New Ratio distribute the remaining share in the old ratio of old partners’
New Ratio = Combined share of A and B X Old Ratio
| Abhir’s New Share of Profits | = | 3 | X | 4 |
| 5 | 5 |
| = | 12 |
| 25 |
| Divya’s Sacrificing Ratio | = | 2 | X | 4 |
| 5 | 5 |
| = | 8 |
| 25 |
| Vibhor’s New Ratio | = | 1 | X | 5 |
| 5 | 5 |
| = | 5 |
| 25 |
New Profit sharing Ratio between Abhir : Divya : Vibhor = 12 : 8 : 5
Calculation of Vibhor’s Capital
| Total Adjusted Capital of the Old Partners | = | Abhir’s Capital + Divya’s Capita |
| Total Adjusted Capital of the Old Partners | = | (7,59,000 + 4,53,000) |
| = | 12,12,000 |
| Combined New Share of the Old Partner | = | 12 | + | 8 |
| 25 | 25 |
| = | 20 |
| 25 |
| Total Capital of the firm | = | (Adjusted Capital of the Old Partners × Reciprocal of Combined New Share of the Old Partners) |
| = | (12,12,000 × 25/20) | |
| = | 15,15,000 | |
| Vibhor’s Capital | = | Total Capital of the firm × His Profit share |
| = | (15,15,000 × 1/5) | |
| = | 3,03,000 |
