- A and B were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. They admit C into the partnership with 1/6 share in the profits. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio?
Solution-
Old profit sharing ratio of A and B = 3:2
C admitted for 1/6th share
Remaining share would be shared by A and B their profit sharing ratio i.e. 3:2
A’s new share = 5/6 x 3/5
= 15/30
B’s new share = 5/6 x 2/5
= 10/30
New profit sharing ratio of A, B and C
= 15/30 : 10/30 : 1/6 x 5/5
= 15/30 : 10/30 : 5/30
= 3:2:1
2. A, B, C were partners in a firm sharing profits in 3:2:1 ratio. They admitted D for 10% profits. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio?
Solution-
Old profit sharing ratio of A, B and C = 3:2:1
D admitted for 10% profits = 10/100
= 1/10
Remaining share = 1- 1/10
= 9/10
Remaining share would be shared by A, B and C in their sharing ratio i.e. 3:2:1
A’ new share = 9/10 x 3/6
= 27/60
B’ new share = 9/10 x 2/6
= 18/60
C’ new share = 9/10 x 1/6
= 9/60
New profit sharing ratio of A, B, C and D after making base equal
= 27/60 : 18/60 : 9/60 : 1/10 x 6/6
= 27/60 : 18/60 : 9/10 : 6/60

15. The books of Ram and Bharat showed that the firm’s capital on 31.12.2016 was Rs.5,00,000 and the profits for the last 5 years: 2015 Rs.40,000; 2014 Rs.50,000; 2013 Rs.55,000; 2012 Rs.70,000 and 2011 Rs.85,000. Calculate the value of goodwill on the basis of 3 years purchase of the average super profit of the last 5 years assuming that the normal rate of return is 10%?
Solution –
Average profit of cost 5 years = 40000 + 50000 + 55000 + 70000 + 85000 / 5
= 3,00,000 / 5
= 60,000
Normal profit = Capital Employed x normal Rate of Return
= 5,00,000 x 10%
= 50,000
Super profit = Average profit – Normal profit
= 60,000 – 50,000
= 10,000
Goodwill = super profit x 3 years purchase
= 10,000 x 3
= Rs.30,000
16. Rajan and Rajani are partners in a firm. Their capitals were Rajan Rs.3,00,000; Rajani Rs.2,00,000. During the year 2015 the firm earned a profit of Rs.1,50,000. Calculate the value of goodwill of the firm by capitalization method assuming that the normal rate of return is 20%?
Solution –
Capital Employed = Rajan’s Capital + Rajani’s Capital
= 3,00,000 + 2,00,000

Calculation of New profit sharing ratio of partners
Old Ratio of Pinky, Qumar & Roopa is 3:2:1
S admitted for 1/4th share which he gets 1/8 from pinky and 1/16th each from Qumar and Roopa
Pinky’s New share = 3/6 – 1/8
= 12 – 3/24
= 9/24
Qumar’s New share = 2/6 – 1/16
= 16 – 3/48
= 13 / 48
Roopa’s New share = 1/6 – 1/16
= 8 – 3/48
= 5/48
New Profit sharing ratio after making base equal
= 9/24 x 2/2 : 13/48 : 5/48 : 1/4 x 12/12
= 10 : 13 : 5 : 12
Calculation of Partner’s Capital in new firm
Total Capital in New Firm = Rs.240000
Pinky capital in new firm = 24,0000 x 18/48
= 90,000
Qumar Capital in new firm = 240000 x 13/ 48
= 65000
Roopa Capital in new firm = 240000 x 5/48
= 25000
S Capital in new firm = 240000 x 12 / 48
= 60,000
