Question
X and Y are partners sharing profits in the ratio 3:2. Z
is admitted for 1/5th share in future profits, and he brings goodwill of ₹50,000 in cash. The new profit sharing ratio between X, Y, and Z will be 3:2:1. How should the goodwill be distributed among X and Y?Solution
Sacrificing ratio = old ratio (3:2) – new ratio (3:2:1) adjusted → X sacrifice = 3/5 – 3/6 = 18/30 – 15/30 = 3/30. Y sacrifice = 2/5 – 2/6 = 12/30 – 10/30 = 2/30. Ratio = 3:2. So goodwill = 50,000 × (3/5, 2/5) = 30,000 & 20,000.
