Working Notes:

1. Calculation of New profit-sharing ratio
D’s Share of Profits = 2/5
Remaining Profits = (1 –2/5) = 3/5
A’s New Share of Profits = (3/5 × 2/10) = 6/50
B’s New Share of Profits = (3/5 × 3/10) = 9/50
C’s New Share of Profits = (3/5 × 5/10) = 15/50
A : B : C : D =

6 : 9 : 15 : 20


2. Calculation of D’s Capital
Total Adjusted Capital of the Old Partners = A’s Capital + B’s Capital + C’s Capital = (36,000 + 44,000 + 52,000) = 1,32,000 Combined New Share of the Old Partners = (6/50 + 9/50 + 15/50) = 30/50 or 3/5
Total Capital of the new firm = (Adjusted Capital of the Old Partners × Reciprocal of Combined New Share of the Old Partners)
= (1,32,000 × 5/3) = 2,20,000
D’s Capital = (Total Capital of the new firm × His Share of Profits)
= (2,20,000 × 2/5) = 88,000
