Working Notes:
WN1:Calculation of Gaining Ratio
Ram :LaxmaN :Bharat = `3 : 2 : 1` ( old ratio)
Ram :Bharat = `2 : 1` (new ratio)
Gaining ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio
Ram's Gain = `2/3 - 3/6 = (4-3)/6 = 1/6`
Bharat;s Gain = `1/3 - 1/6 = (2-1)/6 = 1/6`
Ram :Bharat = `1 : 1`
WN2: Calculation of Retiring Partner’s Share of Goodwill
Laxmans share of goodwill = `2,52,000 xx 2/6 = "Rs" 84,000`
Laxmans share of goodwill will be brought by Ram and Bharat in their Gaining ratio `1 : 1`
Therefore, Ram's Capital A/c will be debited with `84,000 xx 1/2 = "Rs" 42,000`
And Bharat Capital A/c will be Debited with `84,000 xx 1/2 = "Rs" 42,000`
Note: The entry for distributing profit as given in the book is wrong. The profit will be distributed between Ram & Bharat and not Ram and Laxman (since Laxman has retired)
