C Correct answer
Explanation

The premium for goodwill brought by the new partner is distributed among the old partners in their sacrificing ratio. Since the new partner D takes 1/5 share from A, B, and C in their existing profit-sharing ratio of 2:2:1, the sacrificing ratio is 2:2:1. Thus, the Rs. 10,000 premium is divided as 4,000, 4,000, and 2,000 respectively.

Multiple choice
  1. $Rs.1,440$ and $Rs.960$
  2. $Rs.960$ and $Rs.1,440$
  3. $Rs.1,200$ and $Rs.1,200$
  4. None of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

Goodwill of the firm = 9,600. C's share = 1/4 * 9,600 = 2,400. A and B share this premium in their sacrifice ratio. Since no new ratio is given, they sacrifice in their old ratio 3:2. A gets 3/5 * 2,400 = 1,440. B gets 2/5 * 2,400 = 960.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Goodwill of the firm is 2,43,000. D's share is (2/9) * 2,43,000 = 54,000. The sacrificing ratio is determined by the change in profit sharing. A sacrifices 4/9 - 3/9 = 1/9. B sacrifices 3/9 - 2/9 = 1/9. C sacrifices 2/9 - 2/9 = 0. D's goodwill is shared by A and B equally. They each get 27,000. Withdrawing half means they each withdraw 13,500.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

When B retires, B's share of goodwill, which is 3/9 of Rs. 10,800 (or Rs. 3,600), must be compensated by A and C in their gaining ratio. The gaining ratio is calculated as the difference between the new ratio and the old ratio, which is 13:11 for A and C. Dividing Rs. 3,600 in the ratio 13:11 gives Rs. 1,950 for A and Rs. 1,650 for C.

C Correct answer
Explanation

A retires. Capitals are 2:3:2. A's share is 2/7. Goodwill is 1,400,000. A's share of goodwill is (2/7) * 140,000 = 40,000. B and C share future profits equally (1:1). Their old ratio was 3:2. B's gain = 1/2 - 3/7 = 1/14. C's gain = 1/2 - 2/7 = 3/14. Gaining ratio is 1:3. B and C must compensate A in this ratio. B pays (1/4) * 40,000 = 10,000. C pays (3/4) * 40,000 = 30,000.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Since C's share is 1/3 and the premium for goodwill is Rs. 40,000, the total valued goodwill of the firm is Rs. 1,20,000. Since goodwill already appears in the books at Rs. 1,00,000, it needs to be increased by Rs. 20,000. This increase of Rs. 20,000 is credited to the old partners A and B in their old profit-sharing ratio of 3:2, resulting in Rs. 12,000 for A and Rs. 8,000 for B.

Explanation

S's share is 1/3. Total goodwill is 5000 * 3 = 15000. N and Z share 3:2, but decide to share equally (1:1) after S joins. Sacrificing ratio: N = 3/5 - 1/2 = 1/10, Z = 2/5 - 1/2 = -1/10. Z gains 1/10. N sacrifices 1/10. Z must compensate N. Entry: S Capital (or Current) Dr 5000, Z Capital Dr 1000, To N Capital 6000. Option B is the closest standard accounting treatment.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Old ratio A:B = 3:1. New ratio A:B:C = 1:1:1. Sacrificing ratio: A = 3/4 - 1/3 = 5/12, B = 1/4 - 1/3 = -1/12. B gains 1/12. A sacrifices 5/12. Total goodwill 20,000. A gets 5/12 * 60,000 = 25,000. B pays 1/12 * 60,000 = 5,000. Journal: Premium Dr (20,000), B Capital Dr (5,000) to A Capital (25,000).

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Goodwill brought by a new partner is credited to the sacrificing partners in their sacrificing ratio. Old ratio (X:Y) = 3:1. New ratio (X:Y:Z) = 2:1:1. Sacrificing ratio = Old - New. X: 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4. Y: 1/4 - 1/4 = 0. Since only X sacrifices, the entire goodwill goes to X.
