Working Notes:
WN 1: Calculation of Interest on Capital
`"Opening capital" = "Rs" 1.20,000` (last year's closing capital)
`"Interest on capital" = 1,20,000 xx 10/100 xx 3/12 = "Rs" 3,000`
WN 2: Calculation of Profit Share up-to-death
B's profit share (up to death) = `("previous years profit")/"previous year's sales" xx "sales till death" xx "B's profit share"`
Previous years profit = Rs 98,000
Rate of profit to sales = `"previous years profit"/"previous years sales" xx 100`
`10 = (98,000)/"previous years sales" xx 100`
Previous Year's sales = Rs 9,80,000
Sales till death = Rs 12,00,000
`"B's profit share" ("up to death") = (98,000)/(9,80,000) xx 12,00,000 xx 2/6`
`"B's profit share" ("up to death") = "Rs" 40,000`
WN 3: Calculation of share of goodwill
`"Average profits" = (82,000 + 90,000 + 98,000)/3 = "Rs" 90,000`
`"Avearge profits" ("less 20 %") = "Rs" 72,000`
`"Goodwill" = 72,000 xx 2 = "Rs" 1,44,000`
`"B's share of goodwill" = "Rs" 1,44,000`
