Q1Long Answer Questions
Explain the modes of payment to a retiring partner.
Solution
The amount due to a retiring partner is settled according to the terms of the partnership deed or as mutually agreed upon. If there is no agreement, the payment is made as per Section 37 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. The common modes of payment are as follows:
-
Lump-Sum Payment: The firm may pay the entire amount due to the retiring partner in a single payment immediately upon retirement. This is possible when the firm has sufficient cash or bank balance.
- Journal Entry: Retiring Partner’s Capital A/c Dr. To Cash/Bank A/c
-
Payment in Installments: The firm may not be in a position to pay the entire amount immediately. In such a case, the amount due is transferred to the retiring partner's Loan Account, and the payment is made in installments over an agreed period.
- Interest on Loan: The loan amount carries interest at a pre-agreed rate. If no rate is agreed upon, Section 37 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, gives the outgoing partner an option to receive either interest at 6% per annum or a share of profit earned with the use of their money.
- Journal Entries:
- For transferring amount due to loan account: Retiring Partner’s Capital A/c Dr. To Retiring Partner’s Loan A/c
- For payment of installment (Principal + Interest): Retiring Partner’s Loan A/c Dr. To Cash/Bank A/c
-
Part Payment in Cash and Part in Installments: A combination of the above two methods can also be used. A part of the total amount due is paid immediately in cash, and the remaining balance is transferred to the retiring partner's Loan Account, to be paid later in installments.

Q2Long Answer Questions
How will you compute the amount payable to a deceased partner?
Solution
The computation of the amount payable to a deceased partner is similar to that of a retiring partner. The amount is calculated by preparing the deceased partner's Capital Account, which is then transferred to their Executor's Account. The following items are credited and debited to the deceased partner's Capital Account to ascertain the final amount payable:
Items to be Credited:
- Capital Account Balance: The opening credit balance of the deceased partner's capital account.
- Current Account Balance: The credit balance of their current account, if any.
- Share of Goodwill: Their share in the firm's goodwill, which is contributed by the gaining partners in their gaining ratio.
- Share of Accumulated Profits: Their share in reserves, reserve fund, and any other undistributed profits.
- Share in Gain on Revaluation: Their share in the net profit arising from the revaluation of the firm's assets and liabilities.
- Share of Profit up to the Date of Death: Their share of profit from the beginning of the accounting year until the date of their death. This is usually calculated on a time or turnover basis and debited to the 'Profit & Loss Suspense Account'.
- Interest on Capital: Interest on their capital from the last balance sheet date up to the date of death, if provided for in the partnership deed.
- Salary/Commission: Any salary or commission due to them up to the date of death.
Items to be Debited:
- Current Account Balance: The opening debit balance of their current account, if any.
- Drawings: Their drawings from the firm up to the date of death.
- Interest on Drawings: Interest on their drawings, if applicable.
- Share of Accumulated Losses: Their share in any accumulated losses, such as a debit balance in the Profit and Loss Account.
- Share in Loss on Revaluation: Their share in the net loss arising from the revaluation of assets and liabilities.
- Share of Goodwill to be Written Off: Their share of existing goodwill appearing in the books, which is written off.
After making all the above adjustments, the final balance in the deceased partner's capital account is the amount payable to their legal representatives (executors). This balance is transferred to the Deceased Partner's Executor's Account.
Q3Long Answer Questions
Explain the treatment of goodwill at the time of retirement or on the event of death of a partner?
Solution
At the time of retirement or death of a partner, the outgoing partner is entitled to their share of the firm's goodwill because it was earned with their efforts. The continuing partners gain the outgoing partner's share of future profits, so they compensate the outgoing partner for their share of goodwill in the gaining ratio. The accounting treatment depends on whether goodwill already exists in the books.
Case 1: When Goodwill does not appear in the books
In this case, the goodwill of the firm is valued as per the agreement. The retiring/deceased partner's share of goodwill is calculated and adjusted through the capital accounts of the partners. The gaining partners' capital accounts are debited in their gaining ratio, and the retiring/deceased partner's capital account is credited.
-
Journal Entry: Gaining Partners’ Capital A/c Dr. (Individually in gaining ratio) To Retiring/Deceased Partner’s Capital A/c (With their share of goodwill)(Being the adjustment for goodwill made on retirement/death)
Sometimes, a continuing partner may also sacrifice a part of their share. In such a case, their capital account is also credited along with the retiring partner's capital account.
Case 2: When Goodwill already appears in the books
If goodwill already exists in the firm's balance sheet, it must be written off before making any adjustment for the newly valued goodwill. The existing goodwill is written off by debiting all partners' capital accounts (including the retiring/deceased partner) in their old profit sharing ratio and crediting the Goodwill Account.

Journal Entry for writing off existing goodwill: All Partners’ Capital A/c Dr. (Individually in old ratio) To Goodwill A/c(Being existing goodwill written off)
After writing off the existing goodwill, the treatment for the newly valued goodwill is done as explained in Case 1.
Q4Long Answer Questions
Discuss the various methods of computing the share in profits in the event of death of a partner.
Solution
When a partner dies during an accounting year, their legal representatives are entitled to a share of the profits earned by the firm from the beginning of the year until the date of death. Since it is impractical to prepare a full set of final accounts for this intervening period, the deceased partner's profit share is estimated using one of the following methods:
1. On the Basis of Time
Under this method, the profit for the intervening period is estimated based on the profits of a previous period. This can be done in two ways:
-
Based on Last Year's Profit: The profit for the current year is assumed to be the same as the previous year's profit. The profit for the intervening period is calculated proportionately, and the deceased partner's share is then determined.
- Formula: (Last Year's Profit × Intervening Period / 12 months) × Deceased Partner's Profit Share
-
Based on Average Profits of Past Years: The average profit of a certain number of preceding years is calculated. This average is then used to estimate the profit for the intervening period on a time basis.
- Formula: (Average Profit × Intervening Period / 12 months) × Deceased Partner's Profit Share
2. On the Basis of Turnover or Sales
Under this method, it is assumed that the profit is earned uniformly with sales. The profit for the intervening period is estimated based on the sales of that period.
- First, the rate of profit to sales of the previous year is calculated (Profit / Sales × 100).
- This rate is then applied to the sales of the intervening period to estimate the profit for that period.
- Finally, the deceased partner's share is calculated from this estimated profit.
- Formula for Estimated Profit: (Sales of Intervening Period) × (Last Year's Profit / Last Year's Sales)
- Deceased Partner's Share: Estimated Profit × Deceased Partner's Profit Share
The share of profit calculated by any of the above methods is credited to the deceased partner's capital account and debited to a temporary account called 'Profit and Loss Suspense Account'.
Q1Numerical Questions
Aparna, Manisha and Sonia are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. Manisha retires and goodwill of the firm is valued at Rs. 1,80,000. Aparna and Sonia decided to share future in the ratio of 3 : 2. Record necessary journal entries. (Ans : Dr. Aparna's Capital A/c by Rs. 18,000, Dr. Sonia's Capital A/c by Rs. 42,000, Cr. Manisha's Capital A/c by Rs. 60,000).
Solution
1. Calculation of Manisha's Share of Goodwill:
- Firm's Goodwill = Rs. 1,80,000
- Manisha's old share = 2/6
- Manisha's share of goodwill = Rs. 1,80,000 × (2/6) = Rs. 60,000
2. Calculation of Gaining Ratio:
- Gaining Ratio = New Ratio – Old Ratio
- Aparna's Gain = (3/5) - (3/6) = (18 - 15) / 30 = 3/30
- Sonia's Gain = (2/5) - (1/6) = (12 - 5) / 30 = 7/30
- Gaining Ratio of Aparna and Sonia = 3:7
3. Adjustment of Goodwill:
- Aparna will compensate Manisha = Rs. 60,000 × (3/10) = Rs. 18,000
- Sonia will compensate Manisha = Rs. 60,000 × (7/10) = Rs. 42,000

Q2Numerical Questions
Sangeeta, Saroj and Shanti are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5. Goodwill is appearing in the books at a value of Rs. 60,000. Sangeeta retires and goodwill is valued at Rs. 90,000. Saroj and Shanti decided to share future profits equally. Record necessary journal entries.
Solution
Working Notes:
1. Calculation of Gaining Ratio:
- Old Ratio (Sangeeta:Saroj:Shanti) = 2:3:5
- New Ratio (Saroj:Shanti) = 1:1
- Gaining Ratio = New Ratio – Old Ratio
- Saroj's Gain = (1/2) - (3/10) = (5 - 3) / 10 = 2/10
- Shanti's Gain = (1/2) - (5/10) = (5 - 5) / 10 = 0 (No gain)
- Therefore, only Saroj has gained. The entire compensation for Sangeeta's goodwill will be borne by Saroj.
2. Calculation of Sangeeta's Share of Goodwill:
- Firm's newly valued Goodwill = Rs. 90,000
- Sangeeta's share = Rs. 90,000 × (2/10) = Rs. 18,000

- Stock depreciation = 10% of 9,000 = 900
- New Provision for DD = 5% of 6,000 = 300. Existing is 400. Decrease in provision (Gain) = 100.
- Provision for Legal Damages is increased by 1,200 (Loss).
- Furniture appreciation = 45,000 - 41,000 = 4,000
- Net Profit = (16,000 + 4,000 + 100) - (900 + 1,200) = Rs. 18,000.

- Gaining Ratio: Pankaj's Gain = 5/6 - 3/6 = 2/6. Saurabh's Gain = 1/6 - 1/6 = 0. Only Pankaj gains, so he will compensate Naresh fully.
- Naresh's share of Profit = Rs. 60,000 × (6/12) × (2/6) = Rs. 10,000.

Working Notes:
- Interest on Capital (for 6 months): = Rs. 40,000 × (12/100) × (6/12) = Rs. 2,400.
- Share of Profit (for 6 months): Based on previous year's profit (Rs. 30,000). = Rs. 30,000 × (1/5) × (6/12) = Rs. 3,000.
- Share of Goodwill:
- Average Profit = (80,000 + 50,000 + 40,000 + 30,000) / 4 = Rs. 50,000.
- Firm's Goodwill = 3 × 50,000 = Rs. 1,50,000.
- Pammy's Share of Goodwill = 1,50,000 × (1/5) = Rs. 30,000.
- This will be contributed by gaining partners (Puneet and Pankaj) in their gaining ratio (2:2 or 1:1) = Rs. 15,000 each.

Pass the necessary journal entries and draw up Rockey's capital account to be rendered to his executor.
Solution
Working Notes:
- Profit Sharing Ratio: Based on capitals = 30,000 : 20,000 : 20,000 = 3:2:2.
- Interest on Capital (3 months): = Rs. 20,000 × (5/100) × (3/12) = Rs. 250.
- Share of Goodwill:
- Average Profit = (12,000 + 16,000 + 14,000) / 3 = Rs. 14,000.
- Firm's Goodwill = 2 × 14,000 = Rs. 28,000.
- Rockey's Share of Goodwill = 28,000 × (2/7) = Rs. 8,000.
- Gaining Ratio of Prateek and Kushal = 3:2. Prateek contributes 8,000 × (3/5) = 4,800. Kushal contributes 8,000 × (2/5) = 3,200.
- Share of Profit (3 months): Based on last year's profit (Rs. 14,000). = Rs. 14,000 × (2/7) × (3/12) = Rs. 1,000.
- Share of General Reserve: = Rs. 16,000 × (2/7) = Rs. 4,571.

Working Notes:
- Old Ratio: 1/2 : 1/6 : 1/3 = 3:1:2. New Ratio: 3:1.
- Bajaj's share of Goodwill: Rs. 21,000 × (2/6) = Rs. 7,000. Contributed by Narang & Suri in gaining ratio 3:1.
- Capital Adjustment:
- Adjusted Capital of Narang = 30,000 + 6,000 + 3,480 - 5,250 = 34,230
- Adjusted Capital of Suri = 30,000 + 2,000 + 1,160 - 1,750 = 31,410
- Total Capital of New Firm = 34,230 + 31,410 = Rs. 65,640
- New Capital for Narang = 65,640 × (3/4) = Rs. 49,230
- New Capital for Suri = 65,640 × (1/4) = Rs. 16,410
- Narang needs to bring in: 49,230 - 34,230 = Rs. 15,000 (Credited to his Capital, Debited to Suri's Current A/c as per instruction for adjustment)
- Suri has surplus: 31,410 - 16,410 = Rs. 15,000 (Debited from his Capital, Credited to Narang's Current A/c)
- (Correction: Surplus/deficit is adjusted through their respective current accounts, not one to another. So Narang's Current A/c will have a debit balance of 15,000 and Suri's Current A/c a credit balance of 15,000.)

Record journal entries and prepare the balance sheet of the reconstituted firm after transferring the balance in Pramod's Capital account to his loan account.
Solution
Working Notes:
- Old Profit Sharing Ratio (in proportion to capitals) = 20,000 : 15,000 : 15,000 = 4:3:3.
- New Profit Sharing Ratio = 3:2.
- Gaining Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio
- Rajesh's Gain = 3/5 - 4/10 = (6-4)/10 = 2/10
- Nishant's Gain = 2/5 - 3/10 = (4-3)/10 = 1/10
- Gaining Ratio = 2:1.
- Pramod's share of Goodwill = Rs. 10,000 × (3/10) = Rs. 3,000. To be contributed by Rajesh and Nishant in 2:1 ratio (Rajesh: Rs. 2,000, Nishant: Rs. 1,000).
- Revaluation Account Loss:
- Stock reduction (Loss): 10% of 15,500 = 1,550
- Building appreciation (Gain): 12% of 12,000 = 1,440
- Provision for DD increase (Loss): (5% of 10,500) - 500 = 525 - 500 = 25
- Provision for legal charges (Loss): 265
- Net Loss = (1,550 + 25 + 265) - 1,440 = Rs. 400. To be shared in 4:3:3 (Rajesh: 160, Pramod: 120, Nishant: 120).
- Capital Adjustment:
- Total Capital of new firm = Rs. 30,000.
- Rajesh's New Capital = 30,000 × 3/5 = 18,000.
- Nishant's New Capital = 30,000 × 2/5 = 12,000.
- Calculate cash to be brought in/withdrawn.

Solution
Working Notes:
- Period of Service: From April 1, 2020, to June 12, 2020 = 73 days.
- Interest on Capital: = Rs. 28,000 × (10/100) × (73/365) = Rs. 560.
- Share of General Reserve: = Rs. 12,000 × (2/6) = Rs. 4,000.
- Share of Profit: Profit on sales of Rs. 1,00,000 @ 10% = Rs. 10,000. Bharti's share = Rs. 10,000 × (2/6) = Rs. 3,333.
- Share of Goodwill:
- Average Profit = (8,200 + 9,000 + 9,800) / 3 = Rs. 9,000.
- Amount for Goodwill = 2 × 9,000 = 18,000.
- Firm's Goodwill = 18,000 - 20% of 18,000 = 18,000 - 3,600 = Rs. 14,400.
- Bharti's Share = Rs. 14,400 × (2/6) = Rs. 4,800. (To be contributed by Arti and Seema in gaining ratio 3:1).
- Profit on Sale of Investment: Sale price Rs. 16,200 - Book Value Rs. 13,250 = Profit Rs. 2,950. Bharti's share = Rs. 2,950 × (2/6) = Rs. 983.

Q3Short Answer Questions
Distinguish between sacrificing ratio and gaining tab.
Solution
The question seems to have a typo and likely means 'Distinguish between sacrificing ratio and gaining ratio'.
Distinction between Sacrificing Ratio and Gaining Ratio
| Basis | Sacrificing Ratio | Gaining Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Meaning | It is the ratio in which the old partners agree to sacrifice their share of profit in favour of a new partner. | It is the ratio in which the continuing partners acquire the share of profit from the retiring or deceased partner. |
| 2. When to Calculate | It is calculated at the time of the admission of a new partner. | It is calculated at the time of retirement or death of a partner. |
| 3. Mode of Calculation | Sacrificing Ratio = Old Profit Share – New Profit Share | Gaining Ratio = New Profit Share – Old Profit Share |
| 4. Effect on Partner's Share | It results in a decrease in the profit share of the existing partners. | It results in an increase in the profit share of the continuing partners. |
Q4Short Answer Questions
Why do firm revaluate assets and reassers their liabilities on retirement or on the event of death of a partner.
Solution
Firms revaluate assets and reassess their liabilities on the retirement or death of a partner to ensure fairness to all parties involved—the retiring/deceased partner and the continuing partners. The main reasons are:
- To reflect true and fair values: Over time, the book values of assets and liabilities may differ significantly from their current market values. Revaluation brings these values to their true and fair state at the date of reconstitution.
- To distribute the gain or loss: Any increase or decrease in the value of assets and liabilities is a result of the firm's operations over a period when the outgoing partner was also a part of the business. Therefore, the profit or loss arising from such revaluation belongs to all partners, including the retiring or deceased one. This amount is calculated through a Revaluation Account and distributed among all partners in their old profit sharing ratio.
- To avoid undue advantage/disadvantage: If revaluation is not done, the continuing partners would gain an undue advantage if assets are undervalued, or suffer a disadvantage if they are overvalued. Similarly, the outgoing partner would not receive their rightful share of the appreciation in asset values earned during their tenure.
Q5Short Answer Questions
Why a retiring/deceased partner is entitled to a share of goodwill of the firm.
Solution
A retiring or deceased partner is entitled to a share of the firm's goodwill because the goodwill is the value of the firm's reputation and good name, which has been earned over time through the collective efforts of all partners, including the one who is retiring or has died.
The retiring/deceased partner has contributed to building this goodwill during their tenure with the firm. The benefits of this goodwill will be enjoyed by the continuing partners in the future, as they will likely earn higher profits. Therefore, it is fair that the outgoing partner is compensated for their share in this jointly created asset. The continuing partners, who gain the outgoing partner's share of future profits, compensate the retiring/deceased partner for their share of goodwill in their gaining ratio.
