Working Notes:
WN 1 Calculation of Sacrificing (or Gaining) Ratio
Old Ratio (A and B) = 2 : 1
New Ratio (A and B) = 3 : 2
Sacrificing (or Gaining) Ratio = Old Ratio − New Ratio
A's ratio = `2/3 - 3/5 = (10-9)/15 = 1/15` (sacrifice)
B's ratio = `1/3 - 2/5 = (5-6)/15 = (-1)/15` (gain)
WN 2 Adjustment of Profit for 2016-17
Profit to be debited to A's capital A/c = `90,000 xx 1/15` (share of sacrifice)
= Rs 6,000
Profit to be debited to B's capital A/c = `90,000 xx 1/15` (share of Gain)
= Rs 6,000
WN 3 Calculation of New Goodwill
Goodwill = profit of 2014-15 + profit of 2015-16
= 60,000 + 75,000
= Rs 1,35,000
WN 4 Adjustment of Goodwill
Goodwill to be debited to A's capital A/c = `1,35,000 xx 1/15` (share of sacrifice)
= Rs 9,000
Goodwill to be credited to B's capital A/c = `1,35,000 xx 1/15` (share of sacrifice)
= Rs 9,000
