X, Y, Z are equal partners in a firm. Z retires from the firm. The new profit sharing ratio between X and Y is $$1:2$$. Find the gaining ratio.
Report Question
0%
$$3:2$$
0%
$$2:1$$
0%
$$4:1$$
0%
Only Y gains by $$1/3$$
Explanation
Old ratio (X, Y, and Z) = 1 : 1 : 1
New ratio (X and Z) = 1 : 2
Gaining ratio = New ratio - Old ratio
X's gain = (1/3) - (1/3) = Nil
Y's gain = (2/3) - (1/3) = 1/3
Therefore, only Y gains by 1/3

0%
2:1
0%
3:5
0%
Equal
Explanation
Old ratio (Hari, Roy, and Prasad) = 3 : 5 : 1
Roy's profit share = 5/9
Prasad decided to take his share
New profit share = Old profit share + Share taken from Roy
Hari's new share = (3/9) +0 = 3/9
Prasad's new share = (1/9) + (5/9) = 6/9 or 2/3
New profit sharing ratio (Hari and Prasad) = (3/9) and (6/9)
= 3 : 6
= 1 : 2

0%
Dr. $$X$$ and Cr. with $$Rs. 600$$.
0%
Dr. $$Y$$ and Cr. $$X$$ with $$Rs. 600$$.
Explanation
Old ratio (X and Y) = 3 : 2
New ratio (X and Y) = 1 : 1
Gaining ratio = New ratio - Old ratio
X's gain = (1/2) - (3/5) = -1/10 (sacrifice)
Y's gain = (1/2) - (2/5) = 1/10
Total goodwill of the firm = Rs. 60000
Amount of goodwill will be compensated by gaining partner to sacrificing partner in their gaining and sacrificing ratio. Therefore, necessary single adjustment entry will be:
Y's capital A/c Dr. 6000
To X's capital A/c 6000

0%
In the ratio of their capitals.
0%
None of these
Explanation
At the time of admission of a partner, the old partners sacrifice a part of their share of profits to provide for the share of the incoming partner. When the new profit sharing ratio is not provided, the sacrificing ratio is their old profit sharing ratio. Thus, A and B will provide C with the 1/5th share of profits in the ratio of their profits.
$$A$$ and $$B$$ sharing profits and losses in the ratio of $$2/3^{rd}$$ and $$1/3^{rd}, admit $$ C as a partner giving him $$1/4^{th}$$ share. The new profit-sharing ratio will be :

0%
$$A- \,3/8$$, $$B- \,3/8$$, $$C- \,2/8$$
0%
None of these
Explanation
A's old share= 2/3
B's old share= 1/3
C's share= 1/4
Hence, remaining share= 1-[1/4]
= 3/4
Therefore, New profit sharing ratio:
A's new share= 2/3 * 3/4
= 1/2
B's new share= 1/3 * 3/4
= 1/4
C's share= 1/4

0%
None of the Above
Explanation
Memorandum revaluation account is prepared when at the time of admission/retirement of partner, the partnership firm does not want to change the value of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet but want to give effect of it through partner's capital account. Hence, under this method, goodwill is raised in the books and then immediately written off.
A admitted as a new partner for 1/ 4 share of future profits, fails to bring in cash of Rs. 5,000 towards goodwill but the existing (old) partners B and C sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 raise goodwill account at its full value. Therefore, partners will be credited for goodwill as:
Report Question
0%
B = Rs. 3,000, C = Rs. 2,000, A = Nil
0%
B = Rs. 9,000, C = Rs. 6,000, A = Rs. 5,000
0%
B = Rs. 12,000, C = Rs. 8,000, A = Nil
0%
B = Rs. 2,250, C = Rs. 1,500, A = Rs. 1,250
Explanation
Old ratio (B and C) = 3 : 2
A is admitted for 1/4 share of profit for which he was supposed to bring goodwill of Rs. 5000
According to A's share total goodwill of the firm is A's share to goodwill multiply by reciprocal of A's share of profit
Therefore, total goodwill = Rs. 5000 * (4/1) = Rs. 20000
Goodwill credited to old partner in old ratio is-
B = Rs. 20000 * (3/5) = Rs. 12000
C = Rs. 20000 * (2/5) = Rs. 8000

A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 7:C is admitted for 3/7 share in the profits, the new profit sharing ratio among the partners will be ____________________.
Report Question
0%
A : B : C :: 14 : 6 : 15
0%
A : B : C :: 7 : 6 : 7
0%
A : B : C :: 7 : 3 : 3
0%
A : B : C :: 5 : 3 : 3
Explanation
Calculation of the new profit sharing ratio :-
Let as assume Total Profit as "1"
Given, C's share = 3/7
So, remaining profit = 1 - 3/7 = 4/7
A = 4/7 x 7/10 = 28/70 (Remaining profit x old ratio)
B = 4/7 x 3/10 = 12/70
(Remaining profit x old ratio)
C = 3/7 x 10/10 = 30/70
Hence , 28: 12: 30 can be written as 14: 6: 15.
Ram and Shyam are partners in a firm with capital of Rs 4,80,000 and Rs 3,10,000, respectively. They admitted Ganesh as a partner with l/4th share of profit. Ganesh brings Rs 3,00,000 as his capital. Ganesh's share of goodwill will be

$$Rs.70,000$$
Explanation
When in the question goodwill is not specifically given, then it is case of hidden goodwill.
Calculation of hidden goodwill:
Hidden goodwill = (Incoming partner's capital * Reciprocal of share of incoming partner) - Total capital after taking into consideration the capital brought in by new partner
Hidden goodwill = [Rs. 300000 * (4/1)] - Rs. (480000 + 310000 + 300000)
Hidden goodwill = Rs. 1200000 - Rs. 1090000
Hidden goodwill = Rs. 110000
Ganesh's share of goodwill for 1/4th share = Total goodwill/4
Ganesh's share of goodwill for 1/4th share = Rs. 110000/4
Ganesh's share of goodwill for 1/4th share = Rs. 27500

Rs. 3,00,000
Explanation
Capitalization method of valuing goodwill:
Under this method, the value of a whole business is determined by applying normal rate of return. If such value (arrived at by applying normal rate of return) is higher than the capital employed in the business, then the difference is goodwill.
Calculation of goodwill under capitalisation method is:
Goodwill = (Average profit/ Normal rate of return) - Capital employed
Goodwill = Rs. (50000/ 20%
)
- Rs. 150000
Goodwill = Rs. 250000 - Rs 150000
Goodwill = Rs. 100000

No. of years purchased multiplied with average profits
0%
No. of years purchased multiplied with super profits
0%
Summation of the discounted value of expected future benefits
0%
Super profit divided with expected rate of return
Explanation
Goodwill is desirable to valued on the basis of the excess profits and not the actual profits. The excess of actual profits over the normal profits is termed as super profits.
Normal Profit = Capital Employed X Normal Rate of Return/100
Under average profit basis, goodwill is calculated by:
Report Question
0%
No. of years purchased multiplied with past average profits
0%
No. of years purchased multiplied with past super profits
0%
Summation of the discounted value of expected future benefits
0%
Super profit divided with expected rate of return
Explanation
Under average profits method, the goodwill is valued at agreed number of 'years' purchase of the average profits of the past few years. It is based on the assumption that a new business will not be able to earn any profits during the first few years of business. Hence, goodwill is calculated by multiplying the past profits by the number of years during which the anticipated profits are expected to accrue
