Particulars	Amount Rs	Particulars		Amount Rs
Ashish’s Capital A/c	2,400
Dutta’s Capital A/c	1,600	Balance c/d		4,000

3) Calculation of New Profit Sharing Ratio
Vimal's Share = `1/5`

Remaining Share of Firm = 1 - `1/5 = 4/5`

Ashish's share in the new firm = `3/5 xx 4/5 = 12/25`

Dutta's share in the new firm = `2/5 xx 4/5 = 8/25`

New Profit sharing ratio of Ashish, Dutta and Vimal

= `12/25 : 8/25 : 1/5 or 12/25 : 8/25 : 5/25 or 12 : 8 : 5`

4) Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

Ashish’s Sacrificing Share = `3/5 - 12/25 = [ 15 -12]/25 = 3/25`

Dutta’s Sacrificing Share = `2/5 - 8/25 = [ 10 - 8 ]/25 = 2/25`

Sacrificing Ratio between Ashish and Dutta is 3:2

Note: Here, Goodwill has been adjusted through current account because Vimal has not brought his share of goodwill and he is to bring capital in proportion to total capital of the new firm after adjustment.

5) Capital of new firm on the basis of old partners adjusted capital:
Total adjusted capital of old partners

Ashish’s Capital	=	97,400
Dutta’s Capital	=	46,600
		1,44,000

Remaining Share of Ashish and Dutta (old partners) in the new firm = `4/5`

Capital of the new firm = 1,44,000 ×`5/4` =1,80,000

Vimal’s share in the capital of the new firm = 1,80,000 x `1/5` = 36,000.
