Working Note:

1. Valuation of Goodwill:

Total Profits = 6,000 + 12,000 + 7,000 + 11,000 + 24,000 = ₹ 60,000

Average Profit = `"60,000"/5` = ₹ 12,000

Goodwill = 12,000 × 2 = ₹ 24,000

Mahesh's Share in Goodwill = `24,000 xx 1/6` = ₹ 4,000

Goodwill is divided and debited to Rakesh and Mahesh's Capital A/c in the Ratio of 3 : 2

Rakesh = `4,000xx3/5` =  ₹ 2,400 

Mahesh = `4,000xx2/5` =  ₹ 1,600 

2. Calculation of Mukesh's Share in profit from 1st April, 2019 to 1st July, 2019

Total profit of current year = average profit of last 2 year profit

= `(12,000 + 24,000)/2`

= `(36,000)/2`

= ₹ 18,000

Proportional Profit = `18,000xx3/12` = ₹ 4,500

Mukesh's Share in profit = `4,500xx1/6` = ₹ 750
