Working Notes :

Calculation of new ratio = Old ratio - Sacrificing ratio

$A=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{(12-3)}{24}=\frac{9}{24}$

$B=\frac{2}{6}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{(8-3)}{24}=\frac{5}{24}$

$C=\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{4}{4}=\frac{4}{24}$

$D=\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{6}{6}=\frac{6}{24}$

New ratio = 9 : 5 : 4 : 6

Calculation of total capital of new firm on the basis of D's capital

D's Capital = Rs 60,000

His share = $\frac{1}{4}$

New Capital = $60,000\times \frac{4}{1}$

= 2,40,000 (which is to be distributed in new ratio)

Working Notes :

Calculation of Gaining Ratio = New ratio - Old ratio

$A=\frac{3}{5}-\frac{5}{10}=\frac{6-5}{10}=\frac{1}{10}$

$C=\frac{2}{5}-\frac{2}{10}=\frac{4-2}{10}=\frac{2}{10}$

B's share of goodwill = $1,80,000\times \frac{3}{10}$

= 54,000 (which is to be contributed by A and C in 1 : 2)

B's share of profit till the date of death = $36,000\times \frac{2}{12}\times \frac{3}{10}=1,800$
