CBSE Test Paper 01

1. No entry will be passed, Explanation: No need to pass any journal entry when a new partner pays his premium for goodwill amount privately to the sacrificing partners, it will not be recorded in the books of accounts.
1. Cash/Bank A/c, Explanation: When a new partner is admitted and he brings his share of goodwill (premium for goodwill) in cash, in such a case Cash or Bank account should be debited and Premium for goodwill account should be credited.
1. Balance sheet, Explanation: The goodwill already existing in the balance sheet of the old firm should be written off and transferred to the old partners capital account in the old ratio.
1. Old partner’s Capital A/c, Explanation: At the time of admission of a new partner, all accumulated profits and losses should be distributed among the old partners in their old profit sharing ratio. Accumulated losses given in the assets side of the balance sheet should also be written off to he old partners in the old ratio. Hence the old partners capital accounts are to be debited to write off the accumulated losses in the balance sheet.
1. Not to be distributed, Explanation: Employee provident fund is not a free reserve.It is not an accumulated profit. Partners cannot distribute it among themselves. This is outsiders’ liability which has to be paid to the employees after sometime. It will be shown in the new balance sheet of the firm (if not paid).
1. B's Sacrifice = Old Share - New Share
$\frac{3}{8}-\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{8}$

we can say, $\frac{1}{3}$rd of B's share

2. When the new partner is unable to bring premium of goodwill in cash. In such a situation, New Partner’s Capital Account will be debited with his share of goodwill and sacrificing Partners’ Capital Accounts will be credited with their respective shares. In case of Fixed Capital Accounts, new partners Current Accounts will be debited and sacrificing partners current a/c will be credited.

Working Note:-

Calculating sacrificing Ratio

Sacrificing Share = Old Share - New Share

A = $\frac{3}{5}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{24-15}{40}=\frac{9}{40}$

B = $\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{16-15}{40}=\frac{1}{40}$

5. When a new partner is admitted in the firm, he has to be given a share in the profit of the firm. This part of the profit has to be compensated by the old partners. Hence their part of share in profit gets reduced. The reduced part of the profit-sharing ratio of the old partners is known as Sacrificing Ratio. It is important to ascertain the sacrificing ratio because of the reason that the new partner will have a share in an existing firm for which he compensates by paying goodwill to the sacrificing partner or partners in the sacrificing ratio.

Average Adjusted profit = $\frac{20,00,000}{4}$ = Rs. 5,00,000
Goodwill = Average profit × Number of years' purchase
= 5,00,000 × 2 = Rs. 10,00,000
Raghav's share of goodwill = 10,00,000 × $\frac{1}{4}$ = Rs. 2,50,000 to be shared by Asha and Aditi in 3 : 2 ratio.

9. Working Notes:

1. total Goodwill = 90,000
D's share = 90,000 $×$ 1/6 = 15,000
Calculation Of Gain Or Sacrifice
Sacrifice = Old Share - New Share
A's Sacrifice = 3/6 - 2/6 = 1/6
B's Sacrifice = 2/6 - 2/6 = 0
C's Sacrifice = 1/6 - 1/6 = 0
So Cash Brought By D for Goodwill Will Be Credited To A's Account only.
2. Calculation of D's Capital
Adjusted Capital Of A = 81,000
Adjusted Capital Of B = 44,000
Adjusted Capital Of C = 22,000
Combined Share Of A, B, C = 1 - 1/6 = 5/6
So D's Share In Capital = 1,47,000 $×$ 6/5 $×$ 1/6 = 29,400

Calculation of New Profit Sharing Ratio

Let total profit be 1
B ’s share of profit =$\frac{4}{15}$ Remaining share$=1-\frac{4}{15}=\frac{15-4}{15}=\frac{11}{15}$
W's new share = $\frac{11}{15}×\frac{3}{5}=\frac{33}{75}$; R's new share = $=\frac{11}{15}×\frac{2}{5}=\frac{22}{75}$
B's new share = $\frac{4}{15}×\frac{5}{5}=\frac{20}{75}$
New profit sharing ratio = 33:22:20
Calculation of Goodwill
4years average profit =$\frac{20,000+14,000+17,000+15,000}{4}=Rs16,500$
Value of Firm's Goodw = Average Profit$×$Number of Year's Purchase
$=16,500×2.5=Rs41,250$
B ’s share of goodwill =$41,250×\frac{4}{15}=Rs11,000$ to be credited to W and R in Sacrificing ratio i.e., 3:2
