Working Note:-
Calculation of New profit-sharing ratio
Mansi’s Share of Profits = 1/3

| 3 |
| = | 3 - 1 |
| 3 |
| = | 2 |
| 3 |
| Sarthak’s New Share of Profits | = | 2 | X | 2 |
| 3 | 2 |
| = | 4 |
| 9 |
| Vansh’s New Share of Profits | = | 2 | X | 1 |
| 3 | 3 |
| = | 2 |
| 9 | |
Sarthak : Vansh : Mansi = 4 : 2 : 3
Calculation of Mansi’s Capital
| Total Adjusted Capital of the Old Partners | = | Sarthak’s Capital + Vansh’s Capital |
| = | (1,10,000 + 90,000) | |
| = | 2,00,000 | |
| Combined New Share of the Old Partners | = | (4/9 + 2/9) |
| = | 6/9 or 2/3 |
Total Capital of the new firm = (Adjusted Capital of the Old Partners × Reciprocal of Combined New Share of the Old Partners)
| = | 2,00,000 | X | 3 |
| 2 | |||
| = | 3,00,000 |
Calculation of Mansi’s Capital
Mansi’s Capital = (Total Capital of the new firm × His Share of Profits)
| = | 3,00,000 | X | 1 |
| 3 | |||
| = | 1,00,000 |
