Working Notes:
Profit-Sharing Ratio: 4 : 3 : 3
Share of Loss:
Ramu = `50,000 xx 4/10`
= ₹ 20,000
Laxman = `50,000 xx 3/10`
= ₹ 15,000
Bharat = `50,000 xx 3/10`
= ₹ 15,000
Closing Capital:
Closing Capital = Opening Capital − Share of Loss − Drawings
Ramu’s Capital = 1,00,000 − 20,000 − 10,000
= ₹ 70,000
Laxman’s Capital = 80,000 − 15,000 − 10,000
= ₹ 55,000
Bharat’s Capital = 60,000 − 15,000 − 10,000
= ₹ 35,000
