Question

$X$ and $Y$ are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of $3 : 2$ . $Z$ is admitted as partner with $1 / 4$ share in profit. $Z$ acquires his share from $X$ and $Y$ in the ratio of $2 : 1$ .
Calculate the new profit sharing ratio.

Open in App

Solution

X's old share= 3/5
Y's old share= 2/5

Z is admitted for 1/4th share
Sacrificing ratio is 2:1

Z acquired 2/3 * 1/4 = 2/12 from X
Z acquired 1/3 * 1/4 = 1/12 from Y

Hence,
X's new ratio= 3/5-2/12
= 26/60
Y's new ratio= 2/5-1/12
= 19/60
Z's share= 15/60

New Profit sharing ratio= 26:19:15

Calculate the new profit sharing ratio.

X's old share= 3/5

Z is admitted for 1/4th share
Sacrificing ratio is 2:1

Z acquired 2/3 * 1/4 = 2/12 from X
Z acquired 1/3 * 1/4 = 1/12 from Y

Hence,
X's new ratio= 3/5-2/12
= 26/60
Y's new ratio= 2/5-1/12
= 19/60
Z's share= 15/60
