Ch-5 Retirement or Death of a partner


Answer

    1. 4000 equally between each partner, Explanation: In the absence of partnership deed profit sharing ratio will be equal. In this case, M is right; profit should be shared equally among the partners i.e. 4,000 equally among all the partners.
    1. Dr. side of his capital account, Explanation: Any asset taken by the partner will be shown in the debit side of his capital account. It means his capital account will be reduced by the same.
    1. Gain Ratio, Explanation: At the time of retirement or death of a partner, gain ratio of remaining partners is calculated as follows: New Ratio – Old Ratio = Gain Ratio
    1. Both Time basis and Turnover basis, Explanation: Deceased partner’s share will be calculated on the basis of:
      • Time
      • Turnover
        Note: Read the question carefully while calculating the share of profit of deceased partner.
    1. a, b and d, Explanation: Following adjustments are done at the time of retirement of a partner:
      • New profit sharing ratio of continuing partners
      • Accounting treatment of goodwill
      • Adjustment of Reserves and Profits
        Note: Executor’s Account is prepared at the time of death of a partner.
    1. His share of loss on revaluation of assets and reassessment of liabilities.
    2. His share of existing goodwill written off or profit and loss dr balance given in balance sheet.

    To Vinod’s Capital A/c20,000
    To Himanshu’s Capital A/c20,000
    (Being Workmen Compensation Reserve distributed to all the partners in their profit sharing ratio,e.g. 1:1:1, on the retirement of Vinod)
  3. Old ratio of X : Y : Z =12,310 or 510,310,21012,310 or 510,310,210= 5: 3: 2
    X retired and there is no information regarding the new profit sharing ratio between y and z is given. So, after striking of the retiring partner’s ratio, the remaining ratio will be new profit sharing ratio, i.e 3: 2
    Hence, New profit sharing ratio of Y: Z = 3: 2
    Gaining Ratio = New Profit Sharing Ratio – Old Profit Sharing Ratio
    Y’s Gaining Ratio = 35310=6310=31035−310=6−310=310,
    Z’s Gaining Raio = 25210=4210=21025−210=4−210=210
    Hence, New profit sharing ratio of Y and Z = 3: 2.

    (Being workmen compensation reserve distributed between old partners in their old profit sharing ratio, i.e. , 1 : 1 : 1 on the event of retirement of Sajjan.)
  5. P’s share 4848 is being taken over by Q and R equally i.e., 2828 by Q and 2828 by R. as we know that gaining ratio = new ratio – old ratio so new ratio = old ratio so there gaining ratio = 2/8 taken by Q & 2/8 taken by R
    Now, Q’s share would be 38+28=5838+28=58
    R’s share would be 18+28=3818+28=38
    Thus, the new profit sharing ratio between Q and R would be 5 : 3.

    2. Goodwill

      Goodwill = 2,00,000 x 3 = 6,00,000
      Sarthak’s Share of Goodwill = 6,00,000 x 2525 = 2,40,000

    (a)Their existing shares4/92/9
    (b)Share surrendered by Y in favour of X: 1/9 ×× 1/3 =1/27
    Share surrendered by Y in favour of Z: 8/9 ×× 1/3 or *( y’s share – his surrender share in favour of x i.e. 1/3 – 1/27 =8/27)8/27
    (c)New Share of X and Z(a + b):13/2714/27
    (d)or New Share of X and Y1314

    Calculation of Gaining Ratio: as we know that Gaining ratio = new ratio – old ratio so X gain =13/27 – 4/9 =1/27 & y gain = 14/27 – 2/9 = 8/27 so 1:8 or
    Gaining Ratio = Share surrendered by Y: Share surrendered by Y in favour of X in favour of Z
    = 1/27: 8/27
    = 1: 8
