CBSE 2024 · Region 1 · Set 2 · Q17
Akshay, Baljeet and Cizan were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of $\displaystyle 2$ : $\displaystyle 3$ : 3. Akshay retired. Baljeet and Cizan decided to share profits and losses in future in the ratio of $\displaystyle 2$ : 1. On the day of Akshay's retirement, goodwill of the firm was valued at ₹ $\displaystyle 2,70$,000. Calculate gaining ratio and pass necessary journal entry to record the treatment of goodwill (without opening goodwill account), on Akshay's retirement.
Marking-scheme solution
Gain = New share – Old Share
Baljeet’s Gain= $\displaystyle 2$/$\displaystyle 3$ - $\displaystyle 3$/$\displaystyle 8$ = $\displaystyle 7$/$\displaystyle 24$ (gain)
Cizan’s Gain = $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 3$ - $\displaystyle 3$/$\displaystyle 8$ = -$\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 24$ (sacrifice)
$\displaystyle 5$
