Liabilities	Amt. (₹)	Amt. (₹)	Assets	Amt. (₹)	Amt. (₹)
Partners Capital A/cs:			Building	1,80,000	1,56,000
Rajeev	2,44,200	5,35,600	Less: Overvaluation	24,000

			Less: R.D.D.	2,400

Working Notes:

(1) Revised value of Building = (Book Value) − Overvaluation

= 1,80,000 − 24,000

= ₹ 1,56,000

Decrease in the value of building = 1,80,000 − 1,56,000 = ₹ 24,000

(2) Revised value of Stock = (Book Value) × Undervaluation

= 1,20,000 `xx100/(100-25)`

= `1,20,000 xx 100/75`

= ₹ 1,60,000

Increase in the value of stock = Revised value − Book value

= ₹ 1,60,000 − ₹ 1,20,000

= ₹ 40,000

(3) Distribution of Goodwill between old partners:

Mr. Rajeev = Goodwill × Old Ratio

= `60,000 xx 3/4`

= ₹ 45,000

Mr. sanjeev = Goodwill × Old Ratio

= `60,000 × 1/4`

= ₹ 15,000

(4) Cash balance at the end = 12,000 + 1,20,000 + 60,000 = ₹ 1,92,000
