Question

Kriti and Atif are partners sharing profits and losses equally. On 31st March, 2024, they admitted David as a third partner for `1/5` share in the profits.

It is decided that on David’s admission:

  • Atif would retain his original share
  • Goodwill would be valued by the super profit method on the basis of the following information:
  1. Balance Sheet of Kriti and Atif (an extract)
    As at 31st March, 2024
    Liabilities Amount (₹) Amount (₹) Assets Amount (₹)
    General Reserve   25,000 Current A/c:  
    Capital A/c:   4,25,000 Atif 10,000
    Kriti 2,50,000    
    Atif 1,75,000    
    Current A/c:        
    Kriti   40,000    
  2. The normal rate of return is 12% per annum.
  3. Average profits of the firm for last four years are ₹ 74,000.

You are required to calculate:

  1. The sacrificing ratio of the partners.
  2. The value of goodwill of the firm at four years’ purchase of the super profit.
Numerical

Solution

  1. Sacrificing Ratio = `1/5 : 0`
  2. Normal profit = `"Capital employed" xx "Normal Rate of Return"/100`

Capital employed = ₹ 4,80,000

Normal profit = `4,80,000 xx 12/100`

= ₹ 57,600

Super profit = Average Profit − Normal Profit

= 74,000 − 57,600

= ₹ 16,400

Goodwill = 16,400 × 4

= ₹ 65,600
