Working Notes:

WN1: Calculation of Share in General Reserve

`"Reserve" = (36,000×5)/12="Rs"15,000`

WN2: Calculation of Interest on Capital

`"Interest on capital"= (3,00,000×10×6)/100 xx 12 = "Rs"  15,000`
WN3: Calculation of Profit & Loss Suspense

`"Profit & Loss Suspense" =(1,80,000×5×6)/ (12×12) = "Rs" 37,500`
WN4: Calculation of Share in Goodwill

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio

`"Y's Gain" = 7/12 − 4/12 = (7−4)/12 = 3/12`

`"Z's Gain" = 5/12 − 3/12 = (5−3)/12 = 2/12`

Goodwill=Average Profit×No. of years Purchase             

  =1,80,000×2.5=Rs 4,50,000

X's share in Goodwill = `4,50,000×5/12 ="Rs" 1,87,500`, should be contributed by Y & Z in gaining ratio i.e. 3:2
