Working Note: –
| Capital as on April 01, 2013 | 2,50,000 |
| Less: Loss for the year 2014 | – 5,000 |
| Add: Profit for the year 2015 | 13,000 |
| Add: Profit for the year 2016 | 17,000 |
| Add: Profit for the year 2017 | 20,000 |
| Add: Profit for the year 2018 | 25,000 |
| 3,20,000 | |
| Less: Drawings | – 40,000 |
| Capital as on March 31, 2018 | 2,80,000 |
| Average Profit | = | Total Profit for past given years |
| Number of years |
| Average Profit | = | – 5,000 + 13,000 + 17,000 + 20,000 + 25,000 |
| 5 |
| Average Profit | = | 70,000 |
| 5 | ||
| = | 14,000 |
Number of years’ purchase= 3
| Goodwill | = | Average Profit X | Number of years’ purchase |
| = | 14,000 X | 3 | |
| = | 42,000 |
| Old Ratio of E and F | = | 3 : 1 |
| New Ratio of E, F, and G | = | 1 : 1 : 1 |
Sacrificing Share = Old Ratio – New Ratio
| Total Firm’s Goodwill | = | 42,000 |
| Total Firm’s Goodwill | = | 42,000 | X | 1 |
| 2 | ||||
| = | 21,000 |
Only two partner in the partnership Firm. one is gaining and other sacrificing. So the whole share of goodwill bring by the gaining partner will be transfer to the sacrificing partner.
| Share of Goodwill Transfer to A | = | B’s Share of Goodwill |
| = | 21,000 |
