Working Notes

WN 1 Calculation of Gaining Ratio

Old Ratio (X, Y and Z) = 5:3:2

New Ratio (Y and Z) = 3:2

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio – Old Ratio

Hence, gaining ratio is 3 : 2.

WN2 Adjustment of Goodwill

Total Goodwill of the Firm = 80,000

To be borne by Gaining partners in their Gaining Ratio i.e. 3:2








WN3 Adjustment of Capital

X’s Capital before adjustment = 1,19,750

Y’s Capital before adjustment = 61,850

Z’s Capital before adjustment = 32,900

$\begin{array}{lll}\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{Capital}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{New}\mathrm{Firm}& =& \mathrm{X}\text{'}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{Capital}+\mathrm{Y}\text{'}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{Capital}+\mathrm{Z}\text{'}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{Capital}+\mathrm{Closing}\mathrm{balance}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Bank}\mathrm{Account}-\mathrm{Available}\mathrm{Bank}\mathrm{Balance}\\ & =& 1,19,750+61,850+32,900+15,000-32,000\\ & =& \mathrm{Rs}1,97,500\end{array}$

Particulars	Y	Z
New Capital Balance	1,18,500	79,000
Adjusted Old Capital Balance	61,850	32,900
Cash brought in by the Partner	56,650	46,100
