Question

A, B, C and D are in partnership sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 36 : 24 : 20 : 20 respectively. E joins the partnership for 20% share and A, B, C and D in future would share profits among themselves as 3/10 : 4/10 : 2/10 : 1/10. Calculate new profit-sharing ratio after E's admission .

Answer 1

E is admitted for share

Let combined share of profit of all partners after E’s admission = 1

Combined share of A, B, C and D after E’s admission = 1 − E’s Share

New Ratio = Combined of A, B, C and D × Agreed Share of A, B, C and D
