Short Questions for NCERT Accountancy Solutions Class 12 Part 1 Chapter 3

1. Identify various matters that need adjustments at the time of admission of a new partner.

The following matters need adjustment when adding a new partner:

1. Capital Adjustment among partners.

2. Revised calculation of profit sharing ratio.

3. Evaluating and adjusting the goodwill of partners who are sacrificing their share.

4. Accumulated profits, reserves and losses should be distributed to old partners as per the old ratio that was agreed upon.

5. Revaluation of the Liabilities and Assets to determine the current value and distribution of profit or loss as per the old ratio.

2. Why is it necessary to ascertain a new profit-sharing ratio even for old partners when a new partner is admitted?

At the time of admission of a new partner, the existing partners sacrifice their present profit-sharing ratio to make way for a share in profit sharing to the new partner, which results in reducing their profit. Therefore, it is essential to determine the new profit-sharing ratio for old partners on the occasion of adding a new partner, as it creates a more justified share of profit.

3. What is sacrificing ratio? Why is it calculated?

The portion of the profit-sharing ratio that is sacrificed by current partners when a new partner joins the firm is called as sacrificing ratio. It is calculated as the difference between the old profit-sharing ratio and the new profit-sharing ratio.

Sacrificing ratio = Old profit sharing ratio – New profit sharing ratio

It is compulsory to determine this ratio, as the new partner has to reimburse the existing partner for making the sacrifice of profit. It is paid to them as goodwill.

4. On what occasions is sacrificing ratio used?

Sacrificing ratio needs to be used in these occasions:

1. When it is mutually decided by the partners of the firm to change the profit-sharing ratio among the partners.

2. A new partner is introduced in the firm, and accordingly, the sum contributed by the new partner is distributed as goodwill based on the sacrificing ratio of existing partners.

5. If some goodwill already exists in the books and the new partner brings in his share of goodwill in cash, how will you deal with the existing amount of goodwill?

The goodwill that exists in the firms before the arrival of a new partner must be written off between the existing partners in the ratio of their profit sharing as previously decided. The following journal entry needs to be passed:

Old Partner’s Capital A/c

Dr.

To Goodwill A/c

(Being goodwill written off in the old ratio between existing partners)

6. Why is there a need for the revaluation of Liabilities and Assets on the admission of a partner?

When a new partner gets admitted to the firm, there is a need to revalue the Liabilities and Assets of the firm to determine the true value on that day. Revaluation is helpful as the value of Liabilities and Assets may increase or decrease, and as such, their values in the old balance sheet may not be justified; also, some assets or liabilities may not be recorded at all. Hence, for recording the changes in market value for the Liabilities and Assets, a revaluation account is to be prepared, and the associated profits or losses need to be distributed between the existing partners of the firm.

Long Questions for NCERT Accountancy Solutions Class 12 Part 1 Chapter 3

1. Do you advise that Liabilities and Assets must be revalued at the time of admission of a partner? If so, why? Also, describe how this is treated in the book of account.

It is logical to revalue Liabilities and Assets when a new partner gets admitted to the firm, as it is helpful in determining their true value of them on that day. Revaluation is helpful as the value of Liabilities and Assets may increase or decrease, and as such, their values in the existing balance sheet may not be justified; also, some assets or liabilities may not be recorded at all. Hence, for recording the changes in market value for the Liabilities and Assets, a revaluation account is needed to be prepared, and the associated profits or losses need to be distributed between the existing partners of the firm.

2. What is goodwill? What are the factors that affect goodwill?

Goodwill refers to the intangible asset that represents the firm’s value and reputation and the brand name that it carries in the market. Goodwill is earned by a firm from the work it does, which helps earn people’s trust by meeting all customer demands both in quality and quantity. Having positive goodwill is very much helpful for a firm to earn extraordinary profits in comparison to its competitors. It also ensures profits that keep coming in the future and helps in retaining old customers.

Factors affecting firms’ goodwill are

1. Product Quality: A firm which is constantly delivering the best product for its customers will have greater goodwill.

2. Location: A central location makes it easy to reach and attracts more footfall, which leads to higher sales and more goodwill.

3. Management: Cost efficiency and higher productivity can be achieved by having efficient management in place; also, it ensures quality products at less price, which increases goodwill.

4. Market Structure: A firm will enjoy more benefits of goodwill if the market is monopolistic in nature and there are no substitutes; it will add more goodwill to the firm.

5. Other Advantages: A firm that is getting benefits such as the continuous supply of fuel, power and raw materials and uses them to produce quality goods enjoys higher goodwill.

3. Explain various methods of valuation of goodwill.

There are four different methods of goodwill valuation:

1. Average Profit Method: In this method, the calculation of goodwill is done based on the average profits of the past years. It can be calculated as

Goodwill = Average Profit × No. of Years Purchase

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-1

Here, the number of years of purchase signifies the years till which the firm expects profits to generate in the same way as the current period

The following steps are involved in this method:

1. Determine the total profit of past years.

2. Add all losses which are abnormal in nature, such as theft, fire, etc.

3. Add all normal income, if not done previously.

4. Deduct all incomes that are not obtained from business and all such abnormal incomes, for e.g., winning a lottery.

5. Deduct all normal expenses, if not deducted previously.

6. Calculate the average profit by dividing the total profit determined in the previous step.

7. Multiply the average profit hence obtained by the number of year’s purchases in order to determine goodwill.

Example:

Last 5 years profits are 3,00,000,  9,00,000,   (6,00,000),  15,00,000,  24,00,000.

Goodwill calculated as

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-2

Goodwill = 9, 00,000 × 4 = 36, 00,000

2. Weight Average Method: In this method, weights are allocated to each year’s profit, with the highest weight given to the recent year’s profit and lower weights marked for the past years’ profits. The product of the profits and weights are added and divided by the total weight to determine weighted average profits. It is a modified version of the Average Profit Method. The following formulae are used.

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-3

The following steps are involved:

1. Assign the highest weightage to the recent year’s profit and the lowest weightage to the past years’ profits.

2. Multiply weights with the profits corresponding to each year.

3. Determine the product’s total.

4. Divide the product total by the total weightage to find the Weighted Average Profit.

5. Multiply the weighted average profit by the number of years purchased.

For example,

Last 5 years profits are ₹ 3,00,000,   ₹ 9,00,000,   ₹ (6,00,000),   ₹ 15,00,000,   ₹ 24,00,000.

Goodwill calculated as,

Profit/Loss

Weights Product

3,00,000 1 3,00,000 × 1 = 3,00,000
9,00,000 2 9,00,000 × 2 = 18,00,000
(6,00,000) 3 (6,00,000) × 3 = (18,00,000)
15,00,000 4 15,00,000 × 4  = 60,00,000
24,00,000 5 24,00,000× 5  = 1,20,00,000
Total 15 ₹ 1,83,00,000

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-4

3. Super Profit Method:  In this method, goodwill is determined by the excess profit earned by a firm as compared to profit earned by rivals in the same industry. The excess profit earned over normal profit is called a Super Normal Profit

The following steps are involved:

1. Calculate the average profit

2. Calculating average capital engaged

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-5

3. Calculating normal profit

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-6

4. Calculation of Super Normal Profit using the formulae: Super Normal Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit

5. Multiply super normal profit with the number of years the purchase to determine goodwill.

4. Capitalisation Method: Goodwill is determined in two ways as follows:

a) By Average Profit capitalisation. b) By Super Profit capitalisation.

a) By Average Profit capitalisation

The following steps are involved:

1. Average profit is calculated.

2. Calculating average profits capitalised value using the formulae.

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-7

3. Determine Actual Capital Employed

4. Deduct Actual Capital Employed from Capitalised Average Profit to calculate goodwill.

Goodwill = Capitalised Average Profit – Actual Capital Employed

b) By Super Profit capitalisation.

The following steps are involved:

1. Capital Employed for calculation

2. Calculation of Normal profit

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-8

3. Calculation of average profit

4. Calculating Super Normal Profit

Super Normal Profit = Average Profit – Normal Profit

Step 5: Goodwill calculation by the following formula:

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-9

4. If it is agreed that the capital of all the partners is proportionate to the new profit-sharing ratio, how will you work out the new capital of each partner? Give examples and state how necessary adjustments will be made.

When a new partner is admitted to the firm, the capital of all partners must be determined using the new profit-sharing ratio. In such cases new capital of each partner is determined and is dependent on the following instances:

1. New partner’s capital is given

2. Firm’s total capital is given

1) New partner’s capital is given

It involves the following steps:

1. Calculation of the total capital of the firm based on the new partners’ capital.

2. Divide the total capital of the firm by individual shares of the partner’s profits to determine each partner’s new capital.

3. After posting adjustments, determine each partner’s capital balance.

4. The capital determined previously is written in the Partners Capital account on the credit side.

5. Calculation of surplus or deficit. If new capital is more than the old share, then it needs to be contributed by old partners and is termed deficit, and if new capital is less than old capital, it is called surplus and the difference is paid to old partners.

Let us understand the above steps with the help of an example.

A & B are partners in business who share profits and losses equally. They agree to admit C for
https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/curr/1/15/17/2430/15050/Gr12_Acc_Book1_Chap3_NCERTsol_TQ_Ami_Ami_Ad_html_m6dbf2043.gifshare in profit. C brings ₹ 1, 00,000 as capital. A and B have old capital of ₹ 80,000 and ₹ 60,000, respectively, at the time of admission of C.

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-10

Step 3:

A B
New Capital 100,000 100,000
Less: Existing Capital (80,000) (60,000)
Withdrawal (deposit) (20,000) (40,000)

So both A and B need to pay 20,000 and 40,000 more as shares for their new capital.

2) When new firms’ total capital is known:

When the new partner’s capital is not mentioned, then new capital is determined based on the total capital of the firm on a proportionate basis. The amount that is determined has to be brought in by the new partner as capital. The following steps are taken to determine the new partners’ capital:

1. Finding the total old capital of the existing partners after performing all adjustments.

2. Finding the total capital of the new firm by multiplying the old capital of existing partners with the reciprocal of the old partner’s total share.

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-10

3. The new capital of each partner is determined on the basis of the total capital calculated, which is multiplying the new profit ratio with the total capital, individually, for all partners. Here is an example to help you understand the concept.

Ram and Shyam are partners in a firm, sharing profit and loss equally. They agreed to admit Anil for 1/3rd share in profit and decided to share future profit and loss equally. X’s capital is ₹ 1, 00,000 and Y’s capital is ₹ 50,000. Z brings sufficient capital for his share in profit.

1. Old Capital= ₹ 1, 00,000 + 50,000 = 1, 50,000

2. Calculation of total capital

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-11

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-12

3. New Partners Capital

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-13

5. Explain how will you deal with goodwill when a new partner is not in a position to bring his share of goodwill in cash?

In a situation in which a new partner is unable to bring his share of goodwill in cash, the goodwill account gets adjusted through the Old Partners account. The new partners’ capital account is debited with the share of goodwill, and the same gets credited to Old Partner’s account.

New Partner’s Capital A/c Dr.
To Old Partners’ Capital A/c
(New Partner account debited)

Note: According to Para 16 of Accounting Standard 10, Goodwill is recorded only when it is any transaction equivalent to money or money’s worth. It is a mandatory practice that is followed.

6. Explain various methods for the treatment of goodwill on the admission of a new partner?

Goodwill is treated in the following ways on the introduction of a new partner:

1. Premium Method

2. Revaluation Method

When a new partner pays the share of goodwill in the form of cash, it is called a premium method. There can be two scenarios:

1. New partners pay directly to old partners

2. Partner brings goodwill in the form of cash, and it is retained in the business.

The corresponding entries are:

(i) When goodwill brought in cash by the new partner

Cash/Bank A/c Dr.

To Premium for Goodwill A/c

(Amount of goodwill brought in by new partner)

(ii)When goodwill is retained by the business:

Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr

To Sacrificing Partners’ Capital A/c

(Goodwill brought by the new partner is distributed among old partners as per the sharing ratio.)

Revaluation Method: Situations when a new partner is unable to bring goodwill in the form of cash.

New Partner’s Capital A/c Dr. (Goodwill amount not brought by new partner)

To Old Partners’ Capital A/c

(Goodwill of new partner distributed to old partners as per their sharing ratio.)

Note: According to Para 16 of Accounting Standard 10, Goodwill is recorded only when it is any transaction equivalent to money or money’s worth. It is a mandatory practice that is followed.

7. How will you deal with the accumulated profit and losses and reserves on the admission of a new partner?

A new partner is not entitled to bear the losses or enjoy the profits of a previous business. Hence, when a new partner is added to the firm, the accumulated profits or losses or reserves need to be distributed to current partners (partners of the old firm) in their profit-sharing ratio.

Treatment of accumulated losses, profits and reserve.

Profit and Loss A/C Dr.

General Reserve A/C Dr.

Contingency Reserve A/C Dr.

When losses accumulate over a period.

For Profits and losses

Deferred Advertising expense Dr.

(Losses accumulated shared to old partners as per sharing ratio)

8. At what figures does the value of Liabilities and Assets appear in the books of the firm after revaluation has been done? Show with the help of an imaginary balance sheet.

After revaluation has been done, the Liabilities and Assets appear at their current market values on the Balance Sheet of the reconstituted firm. This can be better explained with the help of the below-explained example.

Anil and Bijay shares profit and loss equally.

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-64

Year Profit
2015 40,000
2014 50,000
2013 55,000
2012 70,000
2011 85,000
Sum of 5 years profit 3,00,000

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-65

Average Super Profit = Average Actual Profit – Normal Profit

= 60,000 – 50,000

= ₹ 10,000

Goodwill = Average Super Profit × Number of year purchase

17. A business has earned average profits of ₹. 1, 00,000 during the last few years. Find out the value of goodwill by capitalisation method, given that the assets of the business are ₹. 10, 00,000 and its external liabilities are ₹. 1, 80,000. The normal rate of return is 10%.

The solution to this question is as follows:

Capital Employed = Assets − External Liabilities

= 10, 00,000 − 1, 80,000

= Rs 8, 20,000

Normal Profit = Capital Employed ×
NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-70

New Firm’s Goodwill = ₹ 80,000

Kanwar’s Share of Goodwill = 80,000 × (1/4) = 20,000

Kanwar’s Goodwill will be taken by Amar and Samar in their sacrificing ratio here. Sacrificing Ratio will be equal to the old ratio because the new and sacrificing ratio is not given; if sacrificing and new ratio is not given, it is assumed that the old partners sacrificed in their old ratio.

24. Mohan Lal and Sohan Lal were partners in a firm, sharing profits and losses in 3:2 ratio. They admitted Ram Lal for 1/4 share on 1.1.2013.

2014 60,000
2015 90,000
2016 70,000
Sum of 4 years profit 2,70,000

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-89

Goodwill = Average Profit × No. of Years Purchases = 67,500 × 3 = 2, 02,500

Ram Lal entered into the firm for 1/4 share of the Profit.

Ram Lal’s share of goodwill = 2, 02, 500 × (1/4) = ₹ 50,625

Here, sacrificing ratio of Mohan Lal and Sohan Lal will be equal to the old ratio because the new and sacrificing ratio is not given.

Mohan Lal will get = Ram Lal’s Share of Goodwill × (3/5) = 50,625 × (3/5) = 10,125 × 3 = ₹ 30,375

Sacrificing ratio = Old Ratio − New Ratio

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-94

Note: Assuming that the ratio between A and B has not changed, hence, the sacrificing ratio should be the same as the old ratio.

31. A and B are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:1. On 1st Jan. 2017, they admitted C as a new partner for 1/4 share in the profits of the firm. C brings ₹ 20,000 as for his 1/4 share in the profits of the firm. The capitals of A and B, after all adjustments in respect of goodwill, revaluation of Liabilities and Assets, etc., have been worked out at ₹ 50,000 for A and ₹ 12,000 for B. It is agreed that the partner’s capital will be according to the new profit-sharing ratio. Calculate the new capitals of A and B and pass the necessary journal entries assuming that A and B brought in or withdrew the necessary cash, as the case may be, for making their capitals in proportion to their profit-sharing ratio.

The solution to this question is as follows:

To B’s Capital A/c 3,000
(Capital brought in by B to make in proportion to the profit sharing)

1) Calculation of New Profit sharing Ratio

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-95

New Profit sharing ratio of A, B and C will be 9:3:4

2) New Capital of A and B.

C bring ₹ 20,000 for 1/4th share of profit in the new firm.

Thus, the total capital of the firm on the basis of C’s share=
NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-96

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-97

Thus, B’s will bring 15,000 − 12,000 = 3,000

32. Pinky, Qumar and Roopa are partners in a firm, sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. S is admitted as a new partner for 1/4 share in the profits of the firm, which he gets 1/8 from Pinky, and 1/16 each from Qmar and Roopa. The total capital of the new firm after Seema’s admission will be ₹ 2, 40,000. Seema is required to bring in cash equal to 1/4 of the total capital of the new firm. The capitals of the old partners also have to be adjusted in proportion to their profit-sharing ratio. The capitals of Pinky, Qumar and Roopa after all adjustments in respect of goodwill and revaluation of Liabilities and Assets have been made are Pinky ₹ 80,000, Qumar ₹ 30,000 and Roopa ₹ 20,000. Calculate the capitals of all the partners and record the necessary journal entries for making adjustments in respect of capitals according to the agreement between the partners.

The solution to this question is as follows:

1) Calculation of new profit sharing Ratio = Old Ratio − Sacrificing Ratio

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-98

New profit-sharing ratio between Pinky, Qumar, Roopa and Seema

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-99

2) Required capital of all partners in the new firm

NCERT Act Class 12 Chp 3-100

3) Amount to be brought by each partner

Pinky = 90,000 − 80,000 = 10,000

Qumar = 65,000 − 30,000 = 35,000

Roopa = 25,000 − 20,000 = 5,000

Seema = 2,40,000
