The capital A/c of the partners showed a credit balance of ₹82000/- for Kavi and ₹41,000/- for Vinayagam after all adjustment. The actual cash to be paid to Kavi and Vinayagam are.

Options:

₹3000 and ₹1000

₹2000 and ₹1000

₹1500 and ₹1000

₹1000 and ₹2000

Correct Answer:

₹2000 and ₹1000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → ₹2000 and ₹1000.

Old ratio = 2:1:1
Mani retires and his share is 1/4
As no information is given so new ratio between Kavi and Vinayagam  will be as old ratio means 2:1.

Capital fixed for the firm = 120000
Kavi's share in capital = 120000 x 2/3
                                = ₹80000
Capital after adjustment ₹82000
Excess capital that will be taken back by Kavi = 82000 - 80000
                                                                           = ₹2000

Vinayagam's share in capital = 120000 x 1/3
                                          = ₹40000
Capital after adjustment  for Vinayagam = ₹41000
Excess capital that will be taken back by Vinagayam = 41000 - 40000
                                                                                      = ₹1000
