Answer 1

Here no information is given regarding the share acquired by Amit and Balan, therefore, their gaining ratio is same as their new profit sharing ratio i.e. 3 : 2.

Explanation:

Adjustment of Goodwill

Chander's share of Goodwill = 27,000×$\frac{1}{4}$

Amit will pay = 4,500×$\frac{3}{5}$

Balan will pay =4,500×$\frac{2}{5}$

Adjustment of Capital

Adjusted Old Capital of Amit =44,800 (40,000+4,500+300)−2,700=Rs 42,100

Adjusted Old Capital of Balan=39,700 (36,500+3,000+200)−1,800=Rs 37,900

Total Adjusted Capital=42,100+37,900=Rs 80,000

New Profit Sharing Ratio=3:2

Amit's New Capital=80,000×35=Rs 48,000

Balan's New Capital=80,000×25=Rs 32,000

Since, here no information is given regarding the share acquired by Amit and Balan, therefore, their gaining ratio is same as their new profit sharing ratio i.e. 3 : 2.
