For the purpose of $C^{'} s$ admission, goodwill of the firm is valued at $R s . 75, 000$ and $C$ brought in his share of goodwill in cash which is retained in the firm's books. Journalise the above transactions.

Solution

JOURNAL
1. Cash a/c..... Dr. 21000
To Premium for goodwill a/c 21000
(Being Premium for goodwill brought in by C)

2. Premium for goodwill a/c.... Dr. 21000
To A's Capital a/c 9000
To B's Capital a/c 12000
(Being premium for goodwill brought in by C, distributed among the partners in the ratio 3:4)

Working Note:
A's old share= 3/5
B's old share= 2/5

C is admitted as a new partner.
A's sacrifice= 3/5 * 1/5
= 3/25
B's sacrifice= 2/5 * 2/5
= 4/25
Sacrificing ratio= 3:4

C's share= 3/25 + 4/25
= 7/25
Hence, C's share of goodwill= 7/25 * 75000
= 21000
