ANSWER
To get the adjustment entry done, first need to find out the distribution of accumulated profit /loss. Since books of account are not to be affected due to change in profit sharing ratio , hence an adjustment entry need to be passed:
Below are the accumulated profits need to be distributed:
Particulars Book Value
Profit & Loss A/c 15000
General Reserve 60000
Advertising Suspense A/c 30000
-----------------
Total Surplus 105000
-----------------
Share in Accumulated Profits: A B C
As per old Ratio 52500 31500 21000
As per New Ratio 21000 31500 52500
-------------- -------------- --------------
(Sacrifice)/Gain (31500) NIL 31500
------------- --------------- ---------------
Hence below adjustment entry will be passed:
C's Capital A/c Dr. 31500
To A's Capital A/c 31500
