पर्याय

• ₹ 16,00,000

• ₹ 4,00,000

• ₹ 8,00,000

• ₹ 12,00,000

Answer 1

₹ 4,00,000

Explanation:

Tusar’s share = `1/4`

Capital brought in by Tushar = ₹ 4,00,000

Total capital of new firm (based on Tushar’s capital) = `4,00,000 xx 4/1`

= ₹ 16,00,000

Combined capital of all partners = Moksh’s capital + Pran’s capital + Tushar’s capital

= 5,00,000 + 3,00,000 + 4,00,000

= ₹ 12,00,000

Value of Firm’s Goodwill (Hidden Goodwill) = Total capital of new firm − Combined capital of all partners

= 16,00,000 − 12,00,000

= ₹ 4,00,000
