Answer 2

Calculation of Old Ratio:

Old Ratio (X and Y) =  $\frac{1}{2}: \frac{1}{3} \text { or } 3: 2$

Calculation of Y's share of Reserve:

$Y's Share of Reserve =3,000 \times \frac{2}{5}=1,200$

Calculation Y’s Share of Profit  

$Average Profit=\frac{profit of last 3 years}{3} \\\\\therefore Average Profit =\frac{4,200+3,900+4,500}{3}=\frac{12,600}{3}=\mathrm{Rs} 4,200$

Y’s Share of Profit (from April 01,2019 to August 01, 2019 )  $=4,200 \times \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{4}{12}=\mathrm{Rs} 560$

Calculation of Y’s Share of Goodwill  

Y’s share of Goodwill = Y’s Profit Share in last three year

Profit for last three years = 4,200 + 3,900 + 4,500 = Rs 12,600

$\therefore \mathrm{Y}^{\prime} \text { s Share of Goodwill }=12,600 \times \frac{2}{5}=\mathrm{Rs} 5,040$
