Question 06 Chapter 4 of +2-A
6. X, Y and Z are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. From 1st April 2018, they decided to share profits and losses equally. The Partnership Deed provides that in the event of any change in the profit-sharing ratio, the goodwill should be valued at two years’ purchase of the average profit of the preceding five years. The profits and losses of the
preceding years ended 31st March, are:
| Year Ended | 2013-14 | 2014-15 | 2015-16 | 2016-17 | 2017-18 |
| Profit/(Loss) | 70,000 | 85,000 | 45,000 | 35,000 | 10,000 (Loss) |
You are required to calculate goodwill and pass journal entry.
The solution of Question 06 Chapter 4 of +2-A:
| Old Ratio of X, Y, & Z | = | 5 : 3 : 2 |
| New Ratio of X, Y, & Z | = | 1 : 1 : 1 |
Calculate the Sacrificing or Gaining Ratio of Partners
Sacrificing or Gaining Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio
| X’s Share Sacrificing/Gaining | = | 5 | – | 1 |
| 10 | 3 |
| 15- 10 | ||
| = | 30 |
| = | 5 | Sacrificing |
|
| 30 |
| Y’s Share Sacrificing/Gaining | = | 3 | – | 1 |
| 10 | 3 |
| = | 9 – 10 | |
| 30 |
| = | -1 | Gain |
|
| 30 |
| Z’s Share Sacrificing/Gaining | = | 2 | – | 1 |
| 10 | 3 |
| = | 6 -10 | |
| 30 |
| = | -4 | Gaining |
|

Calculation of Goodwill : –
| Average Profit | = | Total Profit for past given years |
| Number of years |
| Average Profit | = | 70,000 + 85,000 + 45,000 + 35,000 + (-)10,000 |
| 5 |
| Average Profit | = | 2,25,000 |
| 5 | ||
| = | 45,000 |
Number of years’ purchase = 2
| Goodwill | = | Average Profit x Number of years of purchase |
| = | 45,000 x 2 | |
| = | 90,000 |
