Working Notes

WN1: Calculation of New Capital

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{A}=6,00,000\times \frac{3}{5}=3,60,000 \\ \mathrm{B}=6,00,000\times \frac{2}{5}=2,40,000 \end{gathered}$$

WN2: Calculation of Gaining/Sacrificing Ratio& Adjustment for Goodwill

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Old}\mathrm{Ratio}\mathrm{New}\mathrm{Ratio} \\ 2:13:2 \\ \mathrm{Sacrificing}\mathrm{Ratio}=\mathrm{Old}\mathrm{Ratio}-\mathrm{New}\mathrm{Ratio} \\ \mathrm{Sacrificing}\mathrm{Ratio}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{A}=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{1}{15}\left(\mathrm{sacrificing}\right) \\ \mathrm{Sacrificing}\mathrm{Ratio}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{B}=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}=-\frac{1}{15}\left(\mathrm{gaining}\right) \\ \mathrm{A}\text{'}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{Sacrifice}=3,00,000\times \frac{1}{15}=20,000 \\ \mathrm{B}\text{'}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{Gain}=3,00,000\times \frac{1}{15}=20,000 \end{gathered}$$

Adjustment for Goodwill
