Gold and Silver are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2 : 5. They admit Copper on the condition that he will bring ₹14,000 as his share of goodwill, to be distributed between Gold and Silver. Copper’s share in future profits will be 1/4th. What will be the new profit-sharing ratio, and what amount of the goodwill brought in by Copper will be received by Gold and Silver?
Copper’s share = 1/4. Remaining 3/4 shared by Gold and Silver in 2 : 5.
New Profit-Sharing Ratio = 6 : 15 : 7.
Sacrificing Ratio (Gold : Silver) = 2/28 : 5/28 = 2 : 5, so goodwill ₹14,000 is shared: Gold = ₹14,000 × 2/7 = ₹4,000; Silver = ₹14,000 × 5/7 = ₹10,000.
