Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm – Admission of a Partner – Numerical Questions Solutions
1. 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?
C’s share
{= \dfrac{1}{6}}
Remaining Share
{= 1 - \dfrac{1}{6}}
{= \dfrac{5}{6}}
This remaining share should be distributed to A and B in their old profit sharing ratio 3:2. So,
A’s share
{= \dfrac{5}{6} × \dfrac{3}{5}}
{= \dfrac{3}{6}}
B’s share
{= \dfrac{5}{6} × \dfrac{2}{5}}
{= \dfrac{2}{6}}
New Ratio
{= \dfrac{3}{6} : \dfrac{2}{6} : \dfrac{1}{6}}
= 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?
D’s share
{= \dfrac{10}{100}}
{= \dfrac{1}{10}}
Remaining Share
{= 1 - \dfrac{1}{10}}
{= \dfrac{9}{10}}
This remaining share should be distributed to A, B and C in their old profit sharing ratio 3:2:1. So,
A’s new share
{= \dfrac{9}{10} × \dfrac{3}{6}}
{= \dfrac{27}{60}}
B’s new share
{= \dfrac{9}{10} × \dfrac{2}{6}}
{= \dfrac{18}{60}}
C’s new share
{= \dfrac{9}{10} × \dfrac{1}{6}}

13. Compute the value of goodwill on the basis of four years’ purchase of the average profits based on the last five years? The profits for the last five years were as follows:
Average Profit
{= \dfrac{\text{Total Profit of last 5 years}}{\text{No. of years}}}
= \dfrac{₹~2,60,000}{5}
= ₹ 52,000
Goodwill
= Average Profits × No. of years purchased
= ₹ 52,000 × 4
= ₹ 2,08,000
14. Firm’s Capital in a business is ₹ 2,00,000. The normal rate of return on firm’s capital is 15%. During the year 2015 the firm earned a profit of ₹ 48,000. Calculate goodwill on the basis of 3 years purchase of super profit?
Firm’s capital
= ₹ 2,00,000
Normal Rate of Return
= 15%
Normal Profits
{= \text{Firm's Capital} × \dfrac{\text{Normal Rate of Return}}{100}}
{= ₹~2,00,000 × \dfrac{15}{100}}
= ₹ 30,000
Actual Proits
= ₹ 48,000
Super Profits
= Actual Profits – Normal Profits
= ₹ 48,000 – ₹ 30,000
= ₹ 18,000
Goodwill
= Super Profits × No. of Years Purchased
= ₹ 6,000
15. The books of Ram and Bharat showed that the firm’s capital on 31.12.2016 was ₹ 5,00,000 and the profits for the last 5 years : 2015 ₹ 40,000; 2014 ₹ 50,000; 2013 ₹ 55,000; 2012 ₹ 70,000 and 2011 ₹ 85,000. Calculate the value of goodwill on the basis of 3 years purchase of the average super profits of the last 5 years assuming that the normal rate of return is 10%?
Normal Profits
{= \text{Firm's Capital} × \dfrac{\text{Normal Rate of Return}}{100}}
{= ₹~5,00,000 × \dfrac{10}{100}}
= ₹ 50,000
Average Profits:
Average Profits
{= \dfrac{\text{Total Profits of Last 5 Years}}{\text{No. of Years}}}
{= \dfrac{₹~3,00,000}{5}}
= ₹ 60,000
Super Profits
= Actual Profits – Normal Profits
= ₹ 60,000 – ₹ 50,000
= ₹ 10,000
Goodwill
= Super Profits × No. of Years Purchased
= ₹ 10,000 × 3
= ₹ 30,000
16. Rajan and Rajani are partners in a firm. Their capitals were Rajan ₹ 3,00,000; Rajani ₹ 2,00,000. During the year 2015 the firm earned a profit of ₹ 1,50,000. Calculate the value of goodwill of the firm by capitalisation method assuming that the normal rate of return is 20%?
Goodwill can be calculated by either
(a)
Capitalization of average profits
(b)
By Captalizing Super Profits
(a) Capitalization of Average Profits:
Rajan’s Capital
= ₹ 3,00,000
Rajani’s Capital
= ₹ 2,00,000
Total’s Capital
= ₹ 5,00,000
Normal Rate of Return
= 20%
Average Profits
= ₹ 1,50,000
Capitalized Value of Average Profits
{= \text{Average Profits} × \dfrac{100}{\text{Normal Rate of Return}}}
{= ₹~1,50,000 × \dfrac{100}{20}}
= ₹ 7,50,000
Goodwill
= Capitalized Value – Net Assets
= ₹ 7,50,000 – ₹ 5,00,000
= ₹ 2,50,000
(b) By Captalizing Super Profits:
Normal Profits
{= \text{Invested Capital} × \dfrac{\text{Normal Rate of Return}}{100}}
{= ₹~5,00,000 × \dfrac{20}{100}}
₹ 1,00,000
Super Profit
= Average Profits – Normal Profits
= ₹ 1,50,000 – ₹ 1,00,000
= ₹ 50,000
Goodwill
{= \text{Super Profits} × \dfrac{100}{\text{Normal Rate of Return}}}
{= ₹~50,000 × \dfrac{100}{20}}
= ₹ 2,50,000
17. A business has earned average profits of ₹ 1,00,000 during the last few years. Find out the value of goodwill by capitalisation method, given that the assets of the business are ₹ 10,00,000 and its external liabilities are ₹ 1,80,000. The normal rate of return is 10%?
Goodwill can be calculated by either
(a)
Capitalization of average profits
(b)
By Captalizing Super Profits
(a) Capitalization of Average Profits:
Firms’ Capital
= Total Assets – Outside Liabilities
= ₹ 10,00,000 – ₹ 1,80,000
= ₹ 8,20,000
Normal Rate of Return
= 10%
Average Profits
= ₹ 1,00,000
Capitalized Value of Average Profits
{= \text{Average Profits} × \dfrac{100}{\text{Normal Rate of Return}}}
{= ₹~1,00,000 × \dfrac{100}{10}}
= ₹ 10,00,000
Goodwill
= Capitalized Value – Net Assets
= ₹ 10,00,000 – ₹ 8,20,000
= ₹ 1,80,000
(b) By Captalizing Super Profits:
Firms’ Capital
= Total Assets – Outside Liabilities
= ₹ 10,00,000 – ₹ 1,80,000
= ₹ 8,20,000
Normal Rate of Return
= 10%
Average Profits
= ₹ 1,00,000
Normal Profits
{= \text{Firm's Capital} × \dfrac{\text{Normal Rate of Return}}{100}}
{= ₹~8,20,000 × \dfrac{10}{100}}
= ₹ 82,000
Super Profit
= Average Profits – Normal Profits
= ₹ 1,00,000 – ₹ 82,000
= ₹ 18,000
Goodwill
{= \text{Super Profits} × \dfrac{100}{\text{Normal Rate of Return}}}
{= ₹~18,000 × \dfrac{100}{10}}
= ₹ 1,80,000

Working Notes:
As neither the new profit sharing ratio nor the sacrificing ratio are given, we consider that both A and B sacrifice their share in the profits in the ratio of their profit and loss sharing ratio i.e. 3:1
The reserve fund and revaluation should also be share among the old partners in their profit sharing ratio i.e. 3:1
Sacrificing Ratio
{= \dfrac{3}{4} : \dfrac{1}{4}}
= 3:1
Goodwill paid by C
= ₹ 5,000
Goodwill Distributed to:
A
{= ₹~5,000 × \dfrac{3}{4}}
= ₹ 3,750
B
{= ₹~5,000 × \dfrac{1}{4}}
= ₹ 1,250
Goodwill Amount Withdrawn by:
A
{= ₹~3,750 × \dfrac{1}{2}}
= ₹ 3,750
B
{= ₹~1,250 × \dfrac{1}{2}}
= ₹ 625
Stock Reduction
{= ₹~20,000 × \dfrac{10}{100}}
= ₹ 2,000
Fixtures Reduction
{= ₹~1,000 × \dfrac{10}{100}}
= ₹ 100
Provision for Doubtful Debts:
Sundry Debtors
{= ₹~16,000 × \dfrac{5}{100}}
= ₹ 800
Bills Receivable
{= ₹~3,000 × \dfrac{5}{100}}
= ₹ 150
Appreciation on Land and Building
{= ₹~25,000 × \dfrac{20}{100}}
= ₹ 5,000
Reserve Fund Transferred to:

31. A and B are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:1. On Ist April. 2017 they admitted C as a new partner for 1/4 share in the profits of the firm. C brings ₹ 20,000 as for his 1/4 share in the profits of the firm. The capitals of A and B after all adjustments in respect of goodwill, revaluation of assets and liabilities, etc. has been worked out at ₹ 50,000 for A and ₹ 12,000 for B. It is agreed that partner’s capitals will be according to new profit sharing ratio. Calculate the new capitals of A and B and pass the necessary journal entries assuming that A and B brought in or withdrew the necessary cash as the case may be for making their capitals in proportion to their profit sharing ratio?
C’s share
{= \dfrac{1}{4}}
Remaining share
{= 1- \dfrac{1}{4}}
{= \dfrac{3}{4}}
A’s new share
{= \dfrac{3}{4} × \dfrac{3}{4}}
{= \dfrac{9}{16}}
B’s new share
{= \dfrac{3}{4} × \dfrac{1}{4}}
{= \dfrac{3}{16}}
C’s share
{= \dfrac{1}{4}}
{= \dfrac{4}{16}}
New Ratio
{= \dfrac{9}{16} : \dfrac{3}{16} : \dfrac{4}{16}}
= 9 : 3 : 4
Based on C’s capital, which is 1/4 of the total capital, the total capital works out to be
Total Capital
{= \dfrac{4}{1} × \text{C's Capital}}
{= \dfrac{4}{1} × ₹~20,000}
= ₹ 80,000
A’s Capital
{= ₹~80,000 × \dfrac{9}{16}}
= ₹ 45,000
A’s Withdrawal
= ₹ 50,000 – ₹ 45,000
= ₹ 5,000
B’s Capital
{= ₹~80,000 × \dfrac{3}{16}}
= ₹ 15,000
B’s additional investment
= ₹ 15,000 – ₹ 12,000

32. Pinky, Qumar and Roopa partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. S Seema is admitted as a new partner for 1/4 share in the profits of the firm, whichs he gets 1/8 from Pinky, and 1/16 each from Qmar and Roopa. The total capital of the new firm after Seema’s admission will be ₹ 2,40,000. Seema is required to bring in cash equal to 1/4 of the total capital of the new firm. The capitals of the old partners also have to be adjusted in proportion of their profit sharing ratio. The capitals of Pinky, Qumar and Roopa after all adjustments in respect of goodwill and revaluation of assets and liabilities have been made are Pinky ₹ 80,000, Qumar ₹ 30,000 and Roopa ₹ 20,000. Calculate the capitals of all the partners and record the necessary journal entries for doing adjustments in respect of capitals according to the agreement between the partners?
We know that
New Ratio
= Old Ratio – Sacrificing Ratio
Pinky’s sacrifice
{= \dfrac{1}{8}}
Pinky’s new share
{= \dfrac{3}{6} - \dfrac{1}{8}}
{= \dfrac{12 - 3}{24}}
Qamar’s sacrifice
{= \dfrac{1}{16}}
Qamar’s new share
{= \dfrac{2}{6} - \dfrac{1}{16}}
{= \dfrac{16 - 3}{48}}
{= \dfrac{13}{48}}
Roopa’s sacrifice
{= \dfrac{1}{16}}
Roopa’s new share
{= \dfrac{1}{6} - \dfrac{1}{16}}
{= \dfrac{8 - 3}{48}}
{= \dfrac{5}{48}}
Seema’s share
{= \dfrac{1}{4}}
New Ratio
{= \dfrac{9}{24} : \dfrac{13}{48} : \dfrac{5}{48} : \dfrac{1}{4}}
{= \dfrac{18}{48} : \dfrac{13}{48} : \dfrac{5}{48} : \dfrac{12}{48}}
= 18 : 13 : 5 : 12
The total capital of the firm is given to be ₹ 2,40,000
Pinky’s Capital
{= ₹~2,40,000 × \dfrac{18}{48}}
= ₹ 90,000
Qamar’s Capital
{= ₹~2,40,000 × \dfrac{13}{48}}
= ₹ 65,000
Roopa’s Capital

They agreed to take Deepak into partnership and give him a share of 1/8 on the following terms: a) that Deepak should bring in ₹ 4,200 as goodwill and ₹ 7,000 as his Capital; (b) that furniture be depreciated by 12%; (c) that stock be depreciated by 10% (d) that a Reserve of 5% be created for doubtful debts: (e) that the value of land and buildings having appreciated be brought upto ₹ 31,000 ;(f) that after making the adjustments the capital accounts of the old partners (who continue to share in the same proportion as before) be adjusted on the basis of the proportion of Deepak’s Capital to his share in the business, i.e., actual cash to be paid off to, or brought in by the old partners as the case may be.
Prepare Cash Account, Profit and Loss Adjustment Account (Revaluation Account) and the Opening Balance Sheet of the new firm.
Deepak’s share
{= \dfrac{1}{8}}
Remaining share
{= 1- \dfrac{1}{8}}
{= \dfrac{8 - 1}{8}}
{= \dfrac{7}{8}}
Arun’s new share
{= \dfrac{7}{8} × \dfrac{6}{14}}
{= \dfrac{42}{112}}
Bablu’s new share
{= \dfrac{7}{8} × \dfrac{5}{14}}
{= \dfrac{35}{112}}
Chetan’s new share
{= \dfrac{7}{8} × \dfrac{3}{14}}
{= \dfrac{21}{112}}
New Ratio
{= \dfrac{42}{112} : \dfrac{35}{112} : \dfrac{21}{112} : \dfrac{1}{8}}
{= \dfrac{42}{112} : \dfrac{35}{112} : \dfrac{21}{112} : \dfrac{14}{112}}
= 6:5:3:2
It is given in the problem that the old partners continue to share in the same proportion as before. This implies that their old profit and loss sharing ratio will also be same as the new one (only for three old partners) i.e. 6:5:2. The goodwill brought in by the new partner Deepak will be shared among the existing partners in their old profit sharing ratio as given below. Also note that the Profit and Loss Adjustment Account is used synonymously with the Revaluation Account (the problem is indirectly asking to prepare Revaluation Account). Ideally we should be preparing the Journal. However, to keep the scope of the problem simple, we’re directly preparing the ledger accounts and balance sheet.
Arun’s share
{= ₹~4,200 × \dfrac{6}{14}}
= ₹ 1,800
Bablu’s share
{= ₹~4,200 × \dfrac{5}{14}}
= ₹ 1,500
Chetan’s share
{= ₹~4,200 × \dfrac{3}{14}}
= ₹ 900
Depreciation on Furniture
{= ₹~3,500 × \dfrac{12}{100}}
= ₹ 420
Depreciation on Stock
{= ₹~14,000 × \dfrac{10}{100}}
= ₹ 1,400
Reserve for Doubtful Debts
{= ₹~12,600 × \dfrac{5}{100}}
= ₹ 630
Appreciation of Land and Building
= ₹ 31,000 – ₹ 24,000
= ₹ 6,000
Based on Deepak’s capital, which is ⅛ of the total capital, the total capital works out to be as follows:
Total Capital
{= \dfrac{8}{1} × ₹~7,000}
= ₹ 56,000
Arun’s Capital
{= ₹~56,000 × \dfrac{6}{16}}
= ₹ 21,000
Bablu’s Capital
{= ₹~56,000 × \dfrac{5}{16}}
= ₹ 17,500

Working Notes:
In the problem, the goodwill of the firm is given. However, Vimal didn’t bring his share of goodwill. So, the premium for goodwill should be adjusted through his current account.
Vimal’s share
{= \dfrac{1}{5}}
Remaining share
{= 1 - \dfrac{1}{5}}
{= \dfrac{4}{5}}
Ashish’s new share
{= \dfrac{4}{5} × \dfrac{3}{5}}
{= \dfrac{12}{25}}
Dutta’s new share
{= \dfrac{4}{5} × \dfrac{2}{5}}
{= \dfrac{8}{25}}
New ratio
{= \dfrac{12}{25} : \dfrac{8}{25} : \dfrac{1}{5}}
{= \dfrac{12}{25} : \dfrac{8}{25} : \dfrac{5}{25}}
= 12:8:5
As neither the sacrificing ratio nor the new ratio are given, we can consider that the sacrificing ratio is same as the profit sharing ratio i.e. 3:2
Also, as Vimal didn’t bring his share of goodwill and he has to bring the capital equal to 1/5th of the total capital of the new firm, his share of goodwill should be adjusted through the current account.
Revaluation
Land and Building
= ₹ 15,000
Plant
= ₹ 10,000
Revaluation Amount
= ₹ 25,000
Distribution of Revaluation Amount
Ashish
{= ₹~25,000 × \dfrac{3}{5}}
= ₹ 15,000
Dutta
{= ₹~25,000 × \dfrac{2}{5}}
= ₹ 10,000
Vimal’s share of goodwill
{= ₹~20,000 × \dfrac{1}{5}}
= ₹ 4,000
Goodwill Distribution:
Ashish
{= ₹~4,000 × \dfrac{3}{5}}
= ₹ 2,400
Dutta
{= ₹~4,000 × \dfrac{3}{5}}
= ₹ 1,600
New Capital
= Old Capital + Revaluation Amount + Goodwill Distribution
Ashish
= ₹ 80,000 + ₹ 15,000 + ₹ 2,400
= ₹ 97,400
Dutta
= ₹ 35,000 + ₹ 10,000 + ₹ 1,600
= ₹ 46,600
Total adjusted capital of old partners
= ₹ 97,400 + ₹ 46,600
= ₹ 1,44,000
The total adjusted capital of the old partners will be equal to their total (added) share of capital i.e. \dfrac{4}{5}
∴ New Capital
{= ₹~1,80,000 × \dfrac{5}{4}}
= ₹ 1,80,000
Vimal’s capital
{= ₹~1,80,000 × \dfrac{1}{5}}
= ₹ 36,000
