Working Notes:

WN1: Calculation of Profit & Loss Suspense

Profit & loss Suspense = `(8,16,000 xx 1 xx 3)/(6 xx12) = "Rs " 34,000`

WN2: Calculation of Gaining Ratio and Share of Goodwill

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio

`"X's gain" =1/2−3/6 = 0`

`"Y's gain" = 1/2−2/6=16`

X:Y = 0:1

Z's share of goodwill=`60,000 xx 1/6 = "Rs"  10,000` should be given by Y
Note:
Z’s share of profit is adjusted through Y’s capital A/c because there is change in profit sharing ratio of remaining partners.
