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

Total Capital of New Firm=X's Capital+Y's Capital+Z's Capital+Closing balance of Bank Account-Available Bank Balance=1,19,750+61,850+32,900+15,000-32,000=Rs 1,97,500
