Working note:
A. New Profit-Sharing Ratio & Capital Targets
Nakul's Share = `1/4`
Total Capital of the Firm (based on Nakul's capital) = `4,00,000 xx 4/1 = 16,00,000`
Remaining Profit Share = `1 - 1/4 = 3/4`
Karan's New Share = `3/5 xx 3/4 = 9/20` → Required Capital: `16,00,000 xx 9/20 = 7,20,000`
Arjun's New Share = `2/5 xx 3/4 = 6/20` → Required Capital: `16,00,000 xx 6/20 = 4,80,000`
Karan's Adjusted Capital: 5,00,000 + 90,000 + 18,000 + 30,000 + 36,000 = ₹ 6,74,000
Required capital is ₹ 7,20,000.
Shortage (Debit to Current A/c): 7,20,000 − 6,74,000 = ₹ 46,000
Arjun's Adjusted Capital: 5,00,000 + 60,000 + 12,000 + 20,000 + 24,000 = ₹ 6,16,000
Required capital is ₹ 4,80,000.
Excess (Credit to Current A/c): 6,16,000 − 4,80,000 = ₹ 1,36,000
