Answer:

New profit sharing ratio between A,B and C = 3 : 2 : 1.

Explanation:

Solution :

Old Ratio :

A : B = 3 : 2

  • A's Share = 3/5
  • B's Share = 2/5

They admit C into the partnership with 1/6 share in the profits.

  • C's Share = 1/6

Let,

Total Profit of all Partners in the firm = 1

So,

Remaining Share =

1 - 1/6 = 5/6

New Profit Sharing Ratio :

A's New Share =

⇒ 5/6 × 3/5 = 15/30

B's New Share =

⇒ 5/6 × 2/5 = 10/30

C's Share =

⇒ 1/6 = (1 × 5)/ (6 × 5) = 5/30

New Profit Sharing Ratio =

  • A : B : C
  • 15/30 : 10/30 : 5/30

15 : 10 : 5 = 3 : 2 : 1

Therefore, New profit sharing ratio between A,B and C = 3 : 2 : 1.
