Working Notes:

Calculation of Gaining/Sacrificing Ratio

Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio ─ New Ratio

Jai=35-12=110(sacrifice)Raj=25-12=110(gain)

Goodwill to be adjusted = 1,00,000 ─ 25,000 = 75,000

Jai's Share=75,000×110=7,500 (credit, since sacrificing)Raj's Share=75,000×110=7,500 (debit, since gaining)
