Maharashtra Board 12th BK Important Questions Chapter 3 Reconstitution of Partnership (Admission of Partner) Q3.3
Working Notes:
1. Calculation of sacrifice ratio of old partners:
Old ratio: Akash = \(\frac{3}{5}\) and Aman = \(\frac{2}{5}\)
New ratio: Akash = \(\frac{2}{4}\) and Aman = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Sacrifice ratio = Old ratio – New ratio
Akash’s sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{2}{4}=\frac{12-10}{20}=\frac{2}{20}\)
Aman’s sacrifice ratio = \(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{8-5}{20}=\frac{3}{20}\)
Sacrifice ratio of Akash and Aman = \(\frac{2}{20}\) : \(\frac{3}{30}\) i.e. 2 : 3.
Benefits of Goodwill of ₹ 2,250 distributed and transferred to Akash’s Capital A/c and Aman’s Capital A/c in their sacrifice ratio (which is 2 : 3).
Goodwill credited to Akash’s Capital = 2,250 × \(\frac{2}{3+2}\) = ₹ 900
and Aman’s Capital = 2,250 × \(\frac{3}{5}\) = ₹ 1,350.

2. Debit balance of Revaluation of ₹ 17,955 indicates Loss on revaluation.
Division of Revaluation Loss:
Akash = 17,955 × \(\frac{3}{3+2}\) = ₹ 10,773
and Aman = 17,955 × \(\frac{2}{5}\) = ₹ 7,182.

3. Balance in Cash A/c at the end = 13,800 + 3,000 + 2,250 = ₹ 19,050.
It is shown on the Assets side of the Balance sheet.

4. R.D.D. = 5 % on value of Debtors = \(\frac{5}{100}\) × 94,500 = ₹ 4,725.
Amount of R.D.D. is first debited to Revaluation A/c and then deducted from the value of Debtors on the Assets side of Balance Sheet.

5. Division of General Reserve:
Akash = \(\frac{3}{5}\) × 15,000 = ₹ 9,000
and Aman = \(\frac{2}{5}\) × 15,000 = ₹ 6,000.
