Working Notes:
WN 1 Calculation of Gaining Ratio
Old Ratio (X, Y and Z) = 2 : 2 : 1
Y retires from the firm.
∴Gaining Ratio = 2 : 1
WN 2 Adjustment of Goodwill
Goodwill of the firm = Rs 70,000
Y’s Share of Goodwill = `70,000 xx 2/5 = "Rs" 28,000`
This share of goodwill is to be distributed between X and Z in their gaining ratio (i.e. 2 : 1).
`"X's Share" = 28,000 xx 2/3 = "Rs" 18,667`
`"Z's Share" = 28,000 xx 1/3 = "Rs" 9,333`
