Working Notes:
1. The typewriter purchased was wrongly debited to Office Expenses Account, but should have been debited
to Office Equipments Account. In effect, depreciation for 6 months (from 1st October, 2017 and 31st March, 2018)
has not been provided. Therefore, ` 2,000 (cost of Typewriter) – ` 100 (depreciation for 6 months) = ` 1,900
should be debited (added) to Office Equipments Account and also credited to Revaluation Account.
2. Adjustment of Goodwill:
(i) Calculation of Gaining Ratio:
Gain of a Partner = New Share – Old Share
-
-
2 3 43 1 1 1 21 1
A’s Gain = - = = ; C’s Gain = - = = ;
3 6 6 6 3 6 6 6
11
Thus, Gaining Ratio of A and C = : =1:1.
66
(ii) Firm’s Goodwill = ` 18,000
B’s Share of Goodwill = ` 18,000 × 2/6 = ` 6,000, which is to be contributed by A and C in their gaining
ratio, i.e., 1 : 1.
Thus, A’s Contribution = ` 6,000 × 1/2 = ` 3,000; and C’s Contribution = ` 6,000 × 1/2 = ` 3,000.
3. Ascertaining required Closing Capital:
Adjusted capitals of A and C after B’s retirement are: `
A (` 40,000 + ` 9,000 + ` 11,325 – ` 3,000) 57,325
C (` 20,000 + ` 3,000 + ` 3,775 – ` 3,000) 23,775
Total capital of the new firm 81,100
Thus, ` 81,100 will be shared by A and C in their new profit-sharing ratio, i.e., 2 : 1
A’s New Capital = ` 54,067; and C’s New Capital = ` 27,033.
In effect, A will withdraw ` 3,258 (i.e., ` 57,325 – ` 54,067) and C will bring ` 3,258 (i.e., ` 27,033 – ` 23,775).
