Quick and Slow are partners in a firm sharing Profit and Losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. On 1st April, 2024 Smooth comes in for a one-third share, paying a ₹ 5,000 premium and proportionate capital. Capitals of Quick and Slow are also to be adjusted in the profit-sharing ratio. The Balance Sheet of Quick and Slow before Smooth comes in stands as below:

Liabilities Assets
Capital Account:   68,000 Machinery   32,000
Quick 29,000 Furniture   2,000
Slow 39,000 Stock   15,000
Reserve   10,000 Debtors   40,000
Creditors   12,000 Cash   6,000
Outstanding Expenses   5,000      
    95,000     95,000

Machinery is valued at ₹ 30,000, and stock at ₹ 23,000. Debtors are considered worth ₹ 38,000. One trade creditor for ₹ 1,000 is due for many years and he is not traceable. On the other hand, one contingent liability for expenses of ₹ 500 had matured and it is not recorded in the books. Reserve Account is not to be shown in Accounts.

Prepare Profit and Loss Adjustment Account and Balance Sheet after the admission of Smooth.

Hint: Total capital of Quick and Slow after all adjustments = 40,700 + 46,800 = 87,500. Since their combined share in profits is `10/15` total capital of the firm, it must be `87,500 xx 15/10` = ₹ 1,31,250.

∴ Quick’s adjusted Capital = `1,31,250 xx 6/15`

= 52,500

Slow’s adjusted Capital = `1,31,250 xx 4/15`

= 35,000

Amount brought in by Quick = 52,500 − 40,700

= 11,800

Amount withdrawn by Slow = 46,800 − 35,000

= 11,800
