C, R & S are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3:2. R retires, the new profit sharing ratio between C & S will be 1:1. The goodwill of the firm is valued at ₹1,00,000. R's share of goodwill be adjusted:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is option 3- By debiting only S's Capital account with ₹30,000.
Old ratio of C, R & S= 5:3:2
After R's retirement, New ratio b/w C & S = 1:1
Gain of C = 1/2 - 5/10
= (5-5)/10
= 0
Gain of S = 1/2 -2/10
= (5-2)/10
= 3/10
Goodwill of the firm = ₹1,00,000
Share of R in goodwill = 1,00,000 x 3/10
= ₹30,000
As only S gains so his Capital A/c will be debited by ₹30,000 and R's Capital A/c will be credited with ₹30,000.
