Question 3
X and Y are partners in a company. Their profit sharing ratio is 5:3. They admit Z into a partnership for 1/4th share. As between themselves, A and B decide to share profits equally in the future.

| To X’s Capital A/c(Full amount of goodwill /premium transferred to X’s Capital A/c, as he alone has sacrificed | 60,000 | ||||
Calculation of new profit sharing ratio: C takes a 1/4th share out of 1.
Thus, the remaining profit is 3/4; This is divided equally between A and B
X’s new share = 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8
Y’s new share = 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8
Sacrificed made by X = 5/8 – 3/8 =2/8
Sacrificed made by Y = 3/8 – 3/8 =0
Hence, X alone has sacrificed and as such he alone will be entitled to the full amount of goodwill premium brought in by Z.
