Working Notes :

WN 1: Calculation of Sacrificing Ratio

Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio - New Ratio

A's = (3/6) - (2/6) = 1/6

B's = (2/6) - (2/6) = Nil

C's = (1/6) - (1/6) = Nil

 

WN 2: Adjustment of Goodwill

D's Share of Goodwill = 90,000 x (1/6) = 15,000

15,000 will be credited to A's Capital A/c, as he is the only sacrificing partner

 

WN 3: Calculation of D’s Proportionate Capital

Adjusted Old Capital of A = 60,000 + 10,500 + 15,000 - 4,500 = 81,000

Adjusted Old Capital of B = 40,000 + 7,000 - 3,000 = 44,000

Adjusted Old Capital of C = 20,000 + 3,500 - 1,500 = 22,000

Total Adjusted Capital = 81,000 + 44,000 + 22,000 = 1, 47,000

D’s Proportionate Capital = Total Adjusted Capital x D’s Profit Share x Reciprocal of Combined New Share of Old Partners

                                     = 1,47,000 x (1/6) x (6/5)

                                      = 29,400
