Give necessary journal entries to record the goodwill.
The solution of Question 45 Chapter 5 of +2-A: –
| Date | Particulars |
L.F. | Debit | Credit | |
| Z’s Current A/c | Dr | 25,000 | |||
| To X’s Capital A/c | 12,500 | ||||
| To Y’s Capital A/c | 12,500 | ||||
| (Being for goodwill distributed in equal ratio) | |||||
Total Capital of the firm on the basis of C’sCapital
Total Capital of the firm = C’s Capital * Reciprocal of his share
| = | 80,000 | * | 4 | |
| 1 | ||||
| = | 3,20,000 |
Actual Capital of Firm = Capital of Old Partners + Incoming Partner’s Capital
| = | 50,000+ 50,000+ 40,000+ 40,000 | |
| = | 2,20,000 |
| Goodwill | = | Total Capital of the firm on basis of Cs Capital |
– Actual Capital of Firm |
| = | 3,20,000 | -2,20,000 | |
| = | 1,00,000 |
| Z’s Share of Goodwill | = | Firm’s Goodwill x | Share of E’s |
| = | 1,00,000 | X | 1 | |
| 4 | ||||
| = | 25,000 |
Sacrificing Ratio of X and Y = 1 : 1
| X will get Share of Goodwill | = | Z’s Goodwill X | Sacrifice share of X |
| = | 25,000 | X | 1 | |
| 2 | ||||
| = | 12,500 |
| Y will get Share of Goodwill | = | Z’s Goodwill X | Sacrifice share of Y |
| = | 25,000 | X | 1 | |
| 2 | ||||
| = | 12,500 |
