Working Notes:

WN1: Calculation of Gaining Ratio and Share of Goodwill

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio

`"X's gain" = 3/8−5/10 = −5/40` (Sacrifice)

`"Y's gain" = 5/8−3/10 = 13/40`

Z's share of goodwill = `70,000 xx 2/10` = Rs 14,000

X's share of goodwill = `70,000 xx 5/40` = Rs 8,750

WN2: Calculation of Goodwill

Goodwill=Average Profit×No. of years Purchase             

  =`28,000×2.5=Rs 70,000`

Average Profit=`"(Total Profits of past years given)"/("Number of years")`                     

   =`(1,00,000 + 80,000 + 82,000 − 1,50,000)/4` = Rs 28,000
