Question

A,B and c are partners sharing profit in the ratio of 5:3:2 .they decided to change their profit-sharing ratio to 3:2:1. compute sacrifice and gain of the partners

Answer 1

The previous sharing ratio of partners was 5:3:2

so lets suppose that an amount of 5000 is divided into this

A gets 5/10 X 5000= 2500

B gets 3/10 X 5000= 1500

C gets 2/10 X 5000= 1000

new ratios 3:2:1

A gets 3/6 X 5000 = 2500

B gets 2/6 X 5000=16666.67

C gets 1/6 X 5000=833.3335

So A doesn't forgo anything or loose anything

B gains

C loses
