WN1: Calculation of Gaining/Sacrificing Ratio

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Old}\mathrm{Ratio}\mathrm{New}\mathrm{Ratio} \\ 4:3:2:11:2:3:4 \\ \mathrm{Sacrificing}\mathrm{Ratio}=\mathrm{Old}\mathrm{Ratio}-\mathrm{New}\mathrm{Ratio} \\ \mathrm{Sacrificing}\mathrm{Ratio}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Ram}=\frac{4}{10}-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{3}{10}\left(\mathrm{sacrificing}\right) \\ \mathrm{Sacrificing}\mathrm{Ratio}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Mohan}=\frac{3}{10}-\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{10}\left(\mathrm{sacrificing}\right) \\ \mathrm{Sacrificing}\mathrm{Ratio}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Sohan}=\frac{2}{10}-\frac{3}{10}=-\frac{1}{10}\left(\mathrm{gaining}\right) \\ \mathrm{Sacrificing}\mathrm{Ratio}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Hari}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{4}{10}=-\frac{3}{10}\left(\mathrm{gaining}\right) \end{gathered}$$

(a) Sohan will compensate Ram and Mohan in the ratio 3 : 1

(b) Hari will compensate Ram and Mohan in the ratio of 3 : 1

Adjustment for Goodwill

Sohan’s Capital A/c	Dr.		18,000
Hari’s Capital A/c	Dr.		54,000
To Ram’s Capital A/c				54,000
To Mohan’s Capital A/c				18,000
(Sohan and Hari will compensate Ram and Mohan in their gaining ratio)

WN2: Calculation of Adjusted Capital

Ram = 4,54,000 – 12,000 = Rs 4,42,000

Mohan = 4,68,000 – 9,000 = Rs 4,59,000

Sohan = 2,50,000 – 24,000 = Rs 2,26,000

Hari = 2,00,000 – 57,000 = Rs 1,43,000

Total Combined Capital = 12,70,000

WN3: Calculation of New Capital
$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Ram}=12,70,000\times \frac{1}{10}=1,27,000 \\ \mathrm{Mohan}=12,70,000\times \frac{2}{10}=2,54,000 \\ \mathrm{Sohan}=12,70,000\times \frac{3}{10}=3,81,000 \\ \mathrm{Hari}=12,70,000\times \frac{4}{10}=5,08,000 \end{gathered}$$
