Working Notes:

(1) Calculation of New Ratio:

Balance of 1 = 1 − Share of new partner

= `1 - 1/5` (Share of new partner - Kishore)

= `4/5` (Remaining share)

New ratio = Old ratio × Balance of 1

Sachin’s new ratio = `4/5 xx 3/4 = 3/5`

Santosh’s new ratio = `4/5 xx 1/4 = 1/5`

∴ New Profit sharing ratio = `3/5 : 1/5 : 1/5 = 3 : 1 : 1`

∴ New adjusted Capital = 3,00,000 : 1,00,000 : 1,00,000

(As Capital amount brought by new partner = ₹ 1,00,000)

(2) Closing Cash balance = Opening balance + Amount brought by new partner + Amount brought by partners’ to adjust with new capital amounts.

= 2,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 50,000 − (69,000 + 23,000)

= 2,58,000
