Question

(15) X, Y and Z are the partners sharing profit and loss in the ratio of 3:2:1. They admitted W
as a new partner. Their new profit-loss sharing ratio is to be 4:3:2:3. (Calculate only
sacrificing ratio).​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

X's old share= 3/5

Y's old share= 2/5

Z is admitted as a partner.

X's sacrifice= 3/5 * 1/3

= 3/15

Y's sacrifice= 1/10

Therefore, Z's share= 3/15 + 1/10

= 9/30

X's new share= 3/5- 3/15

= 6/15

Y's new share= 2/5- 1/10

= 3/10

New profit sharing ratio= 4:3:3

Sacrificing ratio= 2:1
