            To Ravi's Capital A/c 39,000
            To Kavi's Capital A/c 33,000

Ravi's Capital A/c Dr 39,000
Kavi's Capital A/c Dr 33,000
            To Sunny's Capital A/c 72,000

Ravi's capital A/c Dr 13,000
Kavi's capital A/c Dr 11,000
            To Sunny's Capital A/c 24,000

Sunny's capital A/c Dr 24,000
            To Ravi's Capital A/c 13,000
            To Kavi's Capital A/c 11,000

Correct Answer:

Ravi's capital A/c Dr 13,000
Kavi's capital A/c Dr 11,000
            To Sunny's Capital A/c 24,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) -

Ravi's capital A/c Dr 13,000
Kavi's capital A/c Dr 11,000
            To Sunny's Capital A/c 24,000.

Goodwill of the firm = 72000
Sunny's share in goodwill = 72000 x 3/9
                                     = 24000

Gaining ratio between Ravi and Kavi = 13 : 11
Ravi's compensate = 24000 x 13/24
                            = 13000

Kavi's compensate = 24000 x 11/24
                            = 11000

Journal entry for this-
Ravi's capital A/c Dr 13,000
Kavi's capital A/c Dr 11,000
    To Sunny's Capital A/c 24,000
