Working Note:-
Old Ratio of Shikhar and Rohit = 3 : 2
Kavi’s = 1/4
Let the total share of the business = 1
| Remaining share | = | 1 | - | 1 |
| 4 |
| = | 4 - 1 |
| 4 |
| = | 3 |
| 4 |
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
| Shikhar’s New Ratio | = | 7 | X | 3 |
| 10 | 4 |
| = | 12 |
| 40 |
| Rohit’s New Ratio | = | 3 | X | 3 |
| 10 | 4 |
| = | 9 |
| 10 |
| Kavi’s New Ratio | = | 1 | X | 10 |
| 4 | 10 |
| = | 10 |
| 40 |
New Profit sharing Ratio between Shikhar , Rohit and Kavi = 21 : 9 : 10
Sacrificing Ratio = old Ratio – New Ratio
| Shikhar’s Sacrificing Ratio | = | 7 | - | 21 |
| 10 | 40 |
| = | 28 - 2 1 |
| 40 |
| = | 7 |
| 40 |
| Rohit’s Sacrificing Ratio | = | 3 | - | 9 |
| 10 | 40 |
| = | 12 - 9 |
| 40 |
| = | 3 |
| 40 |
Sacrifice Ratio of Shikhar and Rohit = 7 : 3
Distribution of Workmen’s Compensation Fund
| Shikhar's Share of Goodwill | = | 50,000 | X | 7 |
| 10 | ||||
| = | 35,000 |
| Rohit's Share of Goodwill | = | 50,000 | X | 3 |
| 10 | ||||
| = | 15,000 |
Distribution of General Reserve
| Shikhar's Share of Goodwill | = | 1,00,000 | X | 7 |
| 10 | ||||
| = | 70,000 |
| Rohit's Share of Goodwill | = | 1,00,000 | X | 3 |
| 10 | ||||
| = | 30,000 |
Adjustment of Capital
| Total Capital of Firm | = | Capital Brought in by Kavi X Reciprocal of his Share |
| Capital bought by Kavi | = | 4,30,000 |
| Total capital of Firm | = | 4,30,000 | X | 4 |
| 1 | ||||
| = | 17,20,000 |
Distribution of General Reserve
| Shikhar’s New Capital | = | 17,20,000 | X | 21 |
| 40 | ||||
| = | 9,03,000 |
| Rohit's Share of Goodwill | = | 17,20,000 | X | 9 |
| 40 | ||||
