A, B, C and D are in partnership sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 36 : 24 : 20 : 20 respectively. E joins the partnership for a 20% share, and A, B, C and D in future would share profits among themselves as 3/10 : 4/10 : 2/10 : 1/10. Calculate the new profit-sharing ratio after E’s admission.
E’s share = 20/100 = 1/5. Remaining 80/100 is shared by A, B, C, D in the agreed ratio 3 : 4 : 2 : 1.
New Profit-Sharing Ratio = 24 : 32 : 16 : 8 : 20 = 6 : 8 : 4 : 2 : 5.
