Working Note
WN1 Calculation of Gauri's Share of Goodwill
Value of Firm's Goodwill = 45,000
Gauri 's Profit Share = 1/3 rd
Gauri 's Share of Goodwill = 45000 xx 1/3 = 15000
WN2 Calculation of Capital brought in by Gauri
Old Ratio = 2:1
Gauri is admitted for 1/3rd share
Let Total Profit be 1
∴ Remaining Profit = `1 - 1/3 = 2/3`
Sahaj's New Profit Share =`2/3 xx 2/3 = 4/9`
Nimish's New Profit Share = `1/3 xx 2/3 = 2/9`
Gauri's Profit Share = `1/3` or `3/9`
∴New Ratio Share = 4:2:3
Adjust Old Capital of Sahaj = 150000 - 7567 = 142433
Adjust Old Capital of Nimish = 95000 - 3783 = 91217
Total Adjusted capital Sahaj and Nimish = `142433 + 91217 = 233650`
Combined Share of Sahaj and Nimish = 4/9 + 2/9 = 6/9 or 2/3
Total Capital of the New Firm = Total Adjusted Capital of Sahaj and Nimish x Reciprocal of Total Combined Share of Sahaj and Nimish
= `233650 xx 3/2 = 350475`
Gauri's Capital = `350475 xx 1/3 = 116825`
