Working Notes :
WN 1 Calculation of Geeta's Share of Goodwill
Geeta's Share of Goodwill = Firm's Goodwill x Her Profit Share
= 3,70,000 x (5/10) = 1,85,000
Rs. 1,85,000 will be borne by gaining partners in gaining ratio.
It is assumed that continuing partners gain in their old profit sharing ratio of 3:2 as no other detail is specified.
Sita's gain = 1,85,000 x (3/5) = 1,11,000
Meeta's gain = 1,85,000 x (2/5) = 74,000
WN 2 Calculation of Share of Debit balance in P&L A/c
Geet's share = 12,000 x (5/10) = 6,000
Sita's share = 12,000 x (3/10) = 3,600
Meeta's share = 12,000 x (2/10) = 2,400
WN 3 Calculation of Share in Profit (earned during the year)
Geeta's share = Average Profits x Number of Months Geeta Remained x Her Profit Share
= 80,000 x (3/12) x (5/10) = 10,000
WN 4 Calculation of Amount transferred to Geeta's Executor A/c
Amount due to Geeta = Capital + Credit items - Debit Items
= (5,000) + 1,85,000 - 6,000 + 10,000
= 1,84,000
