Working Notes:
WN 1 Calculation of Sacrificing (or Gaining) Ratio
Old Ratio (X, Y and Z) = 5 : 3 : 2
New Ratio (X, Y and Z) = 1 : 1 : 1
Sacrificing (or Gaining) Ratio = Old Ratio − New Ratio
X's share = `5/10 - 1/3 = (15-10)/30 = 5/30` (sacrifice)
Y's share = `3/10 -1/3 = (9-10)/30 = (-1)/30` (Gain)
Z's share = `2/10 - 1/3 = (6-10)/30 = (-4)/30` (gain)
WN 2 Calculation of Goodwill
Goodwill = Average profit x No. of years purchased
Average profit = `(70,000 + 85,000 + 45,000 + 35,000 - 10,000)/5` Rs 45,000
Goodwill = `45,000 xx 2` = Rs 90,000
WN 3 Adjustment of Goodwill
Amount to be credited to X's capital A/c =`90,000 xx 5/30` (share of sacrifice)
= Rs 15,000
Amount to be debited to Y's capital A/c =`90,000 xx 1/30` (share of gain)
= Rs 3,000
Amount to be debited to Z's capital A/c =`90,000 xx 4/30` (share of gain)
= Rs 12,000
