#### Solution

 Journal Entries Date Particulars L.F. Debit Amount Rs Credit Amount Rs A’s Capital A/c Dr. 5,850 C’s Capital A/c Dr. 4,950 To B’s Capital A/c 10,800 (Adjustment of B’s share of goodwill)

Working Notes:

i) Calculation of B’s share of goodwill:
A, B, and C are sharing profits in ratio 4/9: 3/9: 2/9
B retires from the firm. The remaining partners agreed to pay him Rs 1,50,000
B’s capital after making necessary adjustments Rs 1,39,200
Therefore, Hidden Goodwill is Rs (1,50,000 – 1,39,200) i.e. Rs 10,800

ii) Gaining Ratio:
New profit sharing ratio between A and B is 5: 3

A's gain = 5/8 - 4/9 = 13/72

C's gain = 3/8 - 2/9 = 11/72

Gaining ratio = 13: 11

Thus, B’s share of goodwill will be brought in by A and C in the gaining ratio 13: 11 i.e.

A is to be debited with 10,800 xx 13/24 = 5,850.

C is to be debited with 10,800 xx 11/24 = 4.950.
