Working Notes:

1) Pammy’s Share of Profit

Previous Year’s Profit ´ Proportionate Period ´ Share of Deceased Partner

2) Pammy’s Share of Goodwill

Goodwill of the firm = Average Profit ´ Numbers of Year’s Purchase

Average Profit

Goodwill of the firm = 50,000 ´ 3 = Rs 1,50,000

3) Gaining Ratio = New Ratio – Old Ratio

Puneet’s Share

Pankaj’s Share

Gaining Ratio between Puneet and Pankaj = 2 : 2 or 1 : 1

4) Interest on Capital for 6 months, i.e. from April 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007

Amount of Capital ´ Rate of Interest ´ Period

5) Interest Amount

The firm closes its books every year on March 31, while installments to Pammy's Executor are paid on September 30 every year.

Amount outstanding on 30 September = 75,400 – 15,400 = Rs 60,000

Periods	Amount Outstanding	Yearly Interest	For 6 Months
2017-18	60,000
2018-19	45,000
2019-20	30,000
2020-21	15,000
