CBSE 2024 · Region 1 · Set 3 · Q17
Anmol, Badal and Cheenu were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of $\displaystyle 5$ : $\displaystyle 4$ : 3. Badal retired. Anmol and Cheenu decided to share profits and losses in future in the ratio of $\displaystyle 1$ : 2. On the day of Badal's retirement, goodwill of the firm was valued at ₹ $\displaystyle 1,20$,000. Calculate gaining ratio and pass necessary journal entry to record the treatment of goodwill (without opening goodwill account), on Badal's retirement.
Marking-scheme solution
Gain = New share – Old Share
Anmol’s Gain= $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 3$ - $\displaystyle 5$/$\displaystyle 12$ = -$\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 12$ (sacrifice)
Cheenu’s Gain = $\displaystyle 2$/$\displaystyle 3$ - $\displaystyle 3$/$\displaystyle 12$ = $\displaystyle 5$/$\displaystyle 12$ (gain)
