Working Note:-
Calculation of New profit-sharing ratio
D’s Share of Profits = 2/5
| Remaining share | = | 1 | - | 2 |
| 5 |
| = | 5 - 2 |
| 5 |
| = | 3 |
| 5 |
| A’s New Share of Profits | = | 3 | X | 2 |
| 5 | 10 |
| = | 6 |
| 50 |
| B’s New Share of Profits | = | 3 | X | 3 |
| 5 | 10 |
| = | 9 |
| 50 |
| C’s New Share of Profit | = | 3 | X | 5 |
| 5 | 10 |
| = | 15 |
| 50 |
A : B : C : D = 6 : 9 : 15 : 20
Calculation of D’s Capita
| Total Adjusted Capital of the Old Partners | = | A’s Capital + B’s Capital + C’s Capita |
| = | (36,000 + 44,000 + 52,000) | |
| = | 1,32,000 | |
| Combined New Share of the Old Partners | = | (9/50 + 15/50) |
| = | 30/50 or 3/5 |
Total Capital of the new firm = (Adjusted Capital of the Old Partners × Reciprocal of Combined New Share of the Old Partners)
| = | 1,32,000 | X | 5 |
| 3 | |||
| = | 2,20,000 |
D’s Capital = (Total Capital of the new firm × His Share of Profits)
| = | 2,20,000 | X | 2 |
| 5 | |||
| = | 88,000 |
