Question
Find New Profit-sharing Ratio:
A and B are partners. They admit C for 1/4th share. In future, the ratio between A and B would be 2 : 1.
Solution
Old Ratio = A : B
= 1 : 1
C admits for `1/4`th share of profit
Let the combined share of A, B and C be = 1
Combined share of A and B = 1 - C's share
= 1 - `1/4` = `3/4`
New Ratio = Combined share of A and B x `2/3`
A's = `3/4 xx 2/3 = 6/12`
B's = `3/4 xx 1/3 = 3/12`
New Profit Sharing Ratio = A : B : C
= `6/12 : 3/12 : 1/4`
= `[ 6 : 3 : 3]/12`
= 2 : 1 : 1
