WN1: Calculation of Share in General Reserve
Reserve = `(60,000 xx 2)/5` = Rs 24,000
WN2: Calculation of Share in Goodwill
Goodwill = Average profit x No. of years purchase
= 1,20,000 x 2
= Rs 2,40,000
Y's share in goodwill = `2,40,000 xx 2/5` = Rs 96,000,should be contributed by X & Z in 2 : 1
Average profit = `"Total profits of past years given"/"Number of years"`
=`(1,00,000 + 1,60,000 + 2,20,000 + 4,40,000 - 3,20,000)/5`
= Rs 1,20,000
WN3: Calculation of Profit & Loss Suspense
Profit & loss suspense (loss) = `(3,20,000 xx 2 xx 3)/(5 xx 12)`
= Rs 32,000
