Change in Profit Sharing Ratio Among Existing Partners
Without any admission or retirement of the partner, sometimes the partners may decide to change their existing profit sharing ratio. This may result in the gain to a few partners and loss to others. The partners who are in profit due to this change should compensate the sacrificing partner/partners in the profit sharing ratio.

The ratio in which the partners have agreed to sacrifice their share of profit in favour of other partners.
Sacrificing ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio

Gaining ratio = New Ratio – Old Ratio
Subsequent Adjustments
Hence for this purpose, in the books of the firm, few adjustments are made. These adjustments are:-
Revaluation of assets and liabilities;
Adjustments of reserves accumulated profits, and losses if any etc.
Adjustment for goodwill
Adjustment for Goodwill
At the time of reconstitution of a firm, Goodwill is also one of the special aspects which require adjustment. The gaining partner pays the sacrificing partner the proportionate share of goodwill which is equal to share gained by him
Revaluation of Assets and Liabilities
At the time of reconstitution of the firm, re-valuation of the assets and liabilities is done. Revaluation of assets and re-assessment of liabilities is done because:
To bring the assets and liabilities at their correct values in the books
Unrecorded assets and liabilities of the firm are brought into the books of the firm
To ascertain the actual position of the firm.
Profit and loss arriving on account of such revaluation up to the date of reconstitution may be adjusted in the partner’s capital accounts in their sacrificing ratio
Adjustments of Reserves, Accumulated Profits, and Losses
Any reserves or accumulated profits/losses appearing on the balance sheet should be transferred to the partner’s capital accounts. If the partners decide to leave them undisturbed it is necessary to make an adjustment entry in the books of the firm. In that case, the share gained by the gaining partner, he must compensate the sacrificing partner that share of profits and reserves which is proportionate to him.
