CBSE Test Paper 01
Change in Profit sharing ratio of Partners

1. Rs.40,000, Explanation: Follow these steps to calculate the value of goodwill:
1. Calculation of Capital Employed : 2,40,000 – 80,000 = 1,60,000
2. Normal Profit = 1,60,000 × 10/100 = 16,000
3. Super Profit = 20,000 – 16,000 = 4,000
4. Goodwill = 4,000 × 100/10 = 40,000
1. Gaining partner, Explanation: The partner who is getting more because of change in profit sharing ratio is called a gainer partner. That is why gainer partner is debited and sacrificing partner is credited while adjustment is made for goodwill or reserves and profits etc.
1. BK is the gainer partner, Explanation: Calculation of gain or sacrifice: Formula : Old Share – New Share
AK = 2/4 – 3/6 = No Sacrifice/ No Gain
BK = 1/4 – 2/6 = 1/12 Gain
CK = 1/4 - 1/6 = 1/12 Sacrifice
1. Profit, Explanation: Increase in assets will be recorded in the credit side of revaluation account and decrease in liabilities will also be recorded in the revaluation account credit side. In both cases, there will be increase in profit, hence, revaluation account will show profit.
1. Total Capital = 20,000 + 30,000 + 50,000 = 1,00,000
2. Capitals before adjustments were : 50,000; 30,000 and 20,000 (5:3:2)
3. After adjustment = Rs.20,000, 30000,and 50000 (2:3:5)
4. C will bring amount = old capital 50,000 – New capital 20,000 = 30,000
1. P gains 1/14 th share and Q sacrifices 1/14 th share
Explanation: Calculation of gain or sacrifice:
Formula: Old Share – New Share
P = 1/2 – 4/7 = 1/14 Gain
Q = 1/2 – 3/7 = 1/14 Sacrifice
1. A firm can be reconstituted on the following occasions (any two)
1. When there is a change in the profit-sharing ratio of existing partners
2. Admission of a new partner
3. Death of partner
4. Amalgamation of two or more partnership firms
5. Retirenment of existing partner
2. A change in profit-sharing ratio among partners means sharing the profits or losses in a new ratio in place of the old ratio. It implies the purchase of share of profit by one partner from another partner. It is called reconstitution of the existing partnership firm.
3. New Profit-Sharing Ratio is the ratio in which all the partners, including new or incoming partner, will share future profits and losses of the firm.
4. Investment fluctuation reserve is a reserve set aside out of profit to meet fall in the market value of the investment.
5. Calculation of gain or sacrifice due to the change in ratio:
Sacrifice = Old Ratio - New Ratio
A = 1/2 - 4/7 = (7 - 8)/14 = -1/14 (Gain)
B = 1/2 - 3/7 = (7 - 6)/14 = 1/14 (Sacrifice)

 Date Particulars L.F. Dr. Cr. Z's Capital Account (7,600 ×$×$ 1/10) Dr. 760 To X's Capital Account 760 (Being revaluation of assets and liabilities adjusted)
Working Note: Old Ratio of X, Y and Z = 5 : 3 : 2, and their New Ratio = 4 : 3 : 3
X = 4/10 - 5/10 = -1/10 (Sacrifice)
Y = 3/10 - 3/10 = 0
Z= 3/10 - 2/10 = 1/10 (Gain)

Working Note
1. Calculation of Sacrifice/gain of each partner Due to Change in Profit Sharing ratio of Partners
Sacrificing/(Gaining) Share = Old Share - New Share
Anant's Sacrific/(Gaun) $=\frac{5}{10}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{15-10}{30}=\frac{5}{30}$Sacrifice
Gulab's Sacrific/Gain) $=\frac{3}{10}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{9-10}{30}=\left(\frac{1}{30}\right)$Gain
Khushbu's Sacrifice/(Gain) $=\frac{2}{10}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{6-10}{30}=\left(\frac{4}{30}\right)$Gain
2. Calculation of Share of Goodwill
Anant $=2,40,000×\frac{5}{30}=Rs.40,000$
Gulab $=2,40,000×\frac{1}{30}=Rs.8,000$
Khushbu $=240,000×\frac{4}{30}=Rs.32,000$
3. Gulab and Khushbu have gained, so they will be debited by 8,000 and 32,000 respectively and Anant has sacrificed so he will be credited by 40,000
