Working Notes:

WN 1: Calculation of Vaibhav’s Share of Goodwill

Vaibhav's Share of Goodwill = Firm's Goodwill x His Profit Share

                                         = 1,20,000 x (1/5)

                                         = 24,000

24,000 will be borne by gaining partners in gaining ratio

Since, nothing is specified; it is assumed that continuing partners gain in their old profit sharing ratio of 2:2

Vikas's gain = 24,000 x (2/4) = 12,000

Vishal's gain = 24,000 x (2/4) = 12,000

 

WN 2 : Calculation of Share of Debit balance in P&L A/c

Vikas's Share = 50,000 x (2/5) = 20,000

Vishal's Share = 50,000 x (2/5) = 20,000

Vaibhav's Share = 50,000 x (1/5) = 10,000

 

WN 3 : Calculation of Share in Profit (earned during the year)

Vaibhav's Share = Average Profits x Number of Months Vaibhav Remained x His Profit Share

                        = 75,000 x (9/12) x (1/5) = 11,250

 

WN 4 : Calculation of Amount transferred to Vaibhav's Executor A/c

Amount due to Vaibhav = Capital + Credit Items - Debit Items

                                   = 3,80,000 + 24,000 - 10,000 + 11,250

                                   = 4,05,250
