Solution

(i) New profit sharing ratio:

A's old ratio= 2/7
B's old ratio= 5/7

C is admitted for 1/4th share.
Remaining share= 1-[1/4]
= 3/4
A's new share= 3/4 * 2/7
= 6/28
B's new share= 3/4 * 5/7
= 15/28
New Profit sharing ratio of partners= 6:15:7

(ii) Distribution of Goodwill:
A's share= 2/7 * 14000
= 4000
B's share= 5/7 * 14000
= 10000
