Working Notes:

WN 1 Calculation of Sacrificing (or Gaining) Ratio

Old Ratio (X and Y) = 5 : 3

New Ratio (X and Y) = 3 : 5

Sacrificing (or Gaining) Ratio = Old Ratio − New Ratio

WN 2 Calculation of New Goodwill

Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Year′s Purchase = 6,000 × 2 = Rs 12,000

∴Goodwill = 6,000 × 2 = Rs 12,000

WN 3 Adjustment of Goodwill
