Working Note:
Calculation of New Profit Sharing Ratio and Sacrificing Ratio:
The old profit-sharing ratio of A and B is 7 : 5
A sacrifices `1/7`th of his share:
A’s sacrifice = `1/7 xx 7/12`
= `7/84`
= `1/12`
B’s Sacrifice = `1/6`
= `(1 xx 2)/(6 xx 2)`
= `2/12`
Sacrificing Ratio of A and B `1/12 : 2/12` or 1 : 2
C’s Share = A’s Sacrifice + B’s Sacrifice
= `1/12 + 2/12`
= `3/12`
A’s New Share = `7/12 - 1/12`
= `6/12`
B’s New Share = `5/12 - 2/12`
= `3/12`
New Profit Sharing Ratio A, B, and C = `6/12 : 3/12 : 3/12` or 6 : 3 : 3 or 2 : 1 : 1
Calculation of Goodwill:
C’s share of Goodwill (Premium) = `2,40,000 xx 3/12`
= 60,000
This premium is distributed to sacrificing partners in their Sacrificing Ratio of 1 : 2.
A = `60,000 xx 1/3`
= 20,000
B = `60,000 xx 2/3`
= 40,000
