Question

A, B and C are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. On 31st March 2022 C retired. Following balances were disclosed by the Firm's Balance Sheet on this date:

1. Capitals: A ₹ 10,00,000; B ₹ 6,00,000 and C ₹ 4,40,000.
2. Profit & Loss (Dr. Balance) ₹ 45,000.
3. Advertisement Expenditure ₹ 15,000.

Revaluation of Assets and re-assessment of liabilities resulted in a loss of ₹ 60,000. On the retirement of C, goodwill is valued at ₹ 1,80,000.

The amount payable to C is agreed to be paid in two yearly instalments of ₹ 2,00,000 each including interest @ 10% p.a. on the outstanding balance during the first two years and the balance including interest in the third year. Books are closed on 31st March every year.

Working Notes:

1. Old ratio of A, B & C = 3 : 2 : 1

C retired,

New ratio of A & B = 3 : 2

Gaining ratio = New ratio (i.e., 3 : 2) 

2. Goodwill = ₹ 1,80,000

C’s share of Goodwill = `1,80,000xx1/6`

= ₹ 30,000
