Working Note
Let total profit = 1
R’s Share =1/3
Remaining Share = 1 -1/3 =3-1/3 =2/3
P’s new share =1/2 X 2/3
=1/3
Q’s new share =1/2 X 2/3 =1/2
New PSR = 1 : 1 : 1
P’s Sacrifice =3/4_1/3 =5/12
Q’s Sacrifice =1/4_1/3 =5/12
So P has made sacrifice 5/12 of his share
Total goodwill of firm = Rs. 15000 X 3/1 = Rs. 45000
Q’s compensation = 45000 X 1/12 = Rs. 3750
