Question 10 Chapter 5 of +2-A
10. X and Y were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admitted P and Q as new partners. X surrendered 1/3rd of his share in favour of P and Y surrendered 1/4th of his share in favour of Q. Calculate new profit-sharing ratio of X, Y, P and Q.
The solution of Question 10 Chapter 6 of +2-A
Old Ratio of X and Y | = | 3 : 2 |
X surrendered his share in the favour of P | = | 1/3th |
Ysurrendered his share in the favour of Q | = | 1/4th |
In this case we have to calculate the sacrificing share of both partners with the following formula and then subtract this share from the profit share of old partners: –
Sacrificing Share of Old Partners = New Partner’s Share X Sacrificed Ratio
X Sacrificing Share | = | 3 | – | 1 |
5 | 3 |
= | 3 | |
|
15 |
Y Sacrificing Share | = | 2 | – | 1 |
5 | 4 |
= | 2 | |
20 |
New Ratio of Old Partners = Old Ratio – Sacrificed Ratio
X’s New Profit Share | = | 3 | – | 3 |
5 | 15 |
= | 9 – 3 | |
15 |
= | 6 | |
15 |
Y New Profit Share | = | 2 | – | 2 |
5 | 20 |
= | 8 – 2 | |
20 |
= | 6 | |
20 |
P’s Share | = | X’s Sacrificing |
= | 3 | |
15 |
Q’s Share | = | Y’s Sacrificing |
= | 2 | |
20 |
New Profit sharing Ratio between All partners | = | 6 | : | 6 | : | 3 | : | 3 |
15 | 20 | 15 | 20 |
= | 24 : 18 : 12 : 6 | |
60 |
New Profit sharing Ratio between All partners | = | |
= | 4 : 3 2 : 1 |
