Solution

X and Y are partners in a firm with capital of ₹ 18,000 and ₹ 20,000. Z brings ₹ 10,000 for his share of goodwill, and he is required to bring proportionate capital for `1/3`rd share in profits. The capital contribution of Z will be ₹ 24,000.

Explanation:

Determine the Sacrificing Ratio and Adjust Capitals for Goodwill:

The initial profit-sharing ratio of X and Y is not specified, so we assume they share profits equally.

Z brings ₹ 10,000 as goodwill premium.

X’s share of goodwill = `10,000 xx 1/2`

= 5,000

Y’s share of goodwill = `10,000 xx 1/2`

= 5,000

The partners’ capitals are adjusted to include their share of the goodwill: 
X’s adjusted capital = 18,000 + 5,000
= 23,000
Y’s adjusted capital = 20,000 + 5,000
= 25,000
The combined adjusted capital of X and Y = 23,000 + 25,000
= 48,000
Calculate the Total Capital of the New Firm:
Remaining Share of X and Y = `1 - 1/3`
= `2/3`
Total Capital of New Firm = `48,000 xx 3/2`
= 72,000
Z is required to bring capital proportionate to his `1/3`rd share in the total capital of the firm, ₹ 72,000
Z’s Capital = `72,000 xx 1/3`
= 24,000
