Question. A business has earned average profit of Rs. 60,000 during the last few years. The assets of the business are Rs. 5,40,000 and its external liabilities are Rs. 80,000. The normal rate of return is 10%. Calculate the value of goodwill on the basis of capitalisation of super profits.
Ans. (i)Capital employed = Assets – Liabilities
                                                = 540000 – 80000
                                                = Rs. 460000 

        (ii) Normal Profit = Capital employed X Normal rate of return/100
                                                = Rs. 460000 X 10/100 = 46000 

        (iii) Super Profit = Firm’s Average profit – Normal Profit
                                            = 60000 – 46000
                                            = 14000

         (iv) Goodwill   = Super profit X 100/ Normal rate of return
                                          = 14000 X 100/ 10
                                          = 140000

Question. The capital of a firm of Arpit and Prajwal is Rs. 10,00,000. The market rate of return is 15% and the goodwill of the firm has been valued Rs. 1,80,000 at two years purchase of super profits. Find the average profits of the firm.
Ans. (i) Super profit = Value of goodwill /Number of years purchase
                                           = 180000/2
                                           = 90000
       (ii) Normal Profit = Capital employed X Normal rate of return /100       
                                       = 1000000 X 15/ 100
                                        = 150000
       (iii) Average Profit = Normal Profit + Super profit
                                                = 150000 + 90000
                                                = 240000

Question. The average profits for last 5 years of a firm are Rs. 20,000 and goodwill has been worked out Rs. 24,000 calculated at 3 years purchase of super profits. Calculate the amount of capital employed assuming the normal rate of interest is 8 %.
Ans. (i) Super profit = value of goodwill/ number of years purchase
                                          = 240000/3
                                          = 80000
           (ii) Normal Profit = Average profit – Super profit
                                        = 20000 – 8000
                                        = Rs. 12000
           (iii) Capital Employee = Normal Profit X 100/ Normal rate of return
                                                =   12000 X 100/8
                                                = 150000

Question. Rahul and Sahil are partners sharing profits together in the ratio of 4:3. They admit Kamal as a new partner. Rahul surrenders 1/4th of his share and Sahil surrenders 1/3rd of his share in favour of Kamal. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio.
Ans. Rahul’s sacrificing share          = 4/7 X 1/4       = 1/7
       Sahil’s sacrificing share            = 3/7 X 1/3       = 1/7
       Rahul’s new share                    = 4/7 – 1/7       = 3/7
       Sahil’s New share                   = 3/7 – 1/7       = 2/7
       Kamal’s share                          = 1/7+1/7         = 2/7
       New profit sharing ratio        = 3:2:2

Question. Ajay and Naveen are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3. Surinder is admitted in to the firm for 1/4th share in the profit which he acquires from Ajay and Naveen in the ratio of 2:1. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio.
Ans.  Ajay’s sacrifies                       = 1/4  X 2/3     = 2/12
        Naveen’s sacrifies                  = 1/4  X 1/3     = 1/12
        Ajay’s new share                    = 5/8 – 2/12     = 11/24
        Naveen’s New share              = 3/8 – 1/12     = 7/24
        Surender’s share                    = 1/4 or 6/24
        New ratio                              = 11:7:6

Question. A and B were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. A surrenders 1/6th of his share and B surrenders 1/4th of his share in favour of C, a new partner. What is the new ratio and the sacrificing ratio.
Ans.     Old ratio                      = A: B                         = 3:2
            A surrender                 = 3/5 X 1/6      = 3/30              =1/10
            B surrender                 = 2/5 X 1/4      = 1/10
            A’s new share              = 3/5 – 1/10     = 5/10
            B’s new share              = 2/5 – 1/10    = 3/10
            C’s new share              = 1/10 +1/10   = 2/10
            New ratio                   = 5/10, 3/10, 2/10 OR 5:3:2

            Sacrificing Ration        = Old ratio – New ratio
            A                                  = 3/5 – 5/10    = 1/10
            B                                  = 2/5 – 3/10    = 1/10
            Sacrificing ratio           = 1:1

Question. Aarti and Bharti are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3. They admit Shital for 1/4th share and agree to share between them in the ratio of 2:1 in future. Calculate new and sacrificing ratio.
Ans.     Old ratio          =          5:3
            Shital               =          1/4th Share
            Let the profit be Rs. 1
            Remaining profit          = 1-1/4             =3/4
            Arti : Babita                = 2:1
            Arti’s share                 = 3/4 X 2/3      = 1/2
            Babita’s Share             = 3/4 X 1/3      = 1/4
            New Ratio                  = 1/2, 1/4, 1/4  Or 2:1:1

Sacrificing ratio           = Old ratio – New ratio
Arti’s sacrifies             = 5/8 – 2/4       = 1/8
            Babita’s Sacrifies        = 3/8 – 1/4       = 1/8             Sacrificing Ratio        = 1:1

Question. X and Y divide profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. Z is admitted in the firm as a new partner with 1/6th share, which he acquires from X and Y in the ratio of 1:1. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio of all partners.
Ans.
           Old ratio = X:Y = 1:1
          Z is admitted for 1/6th share which he acquire from X,Y in the ratio of 1:1
           Since 1/6 X 1/2  = 1/12  from X and Y
            X’s new ratio     = 3/5 – 1/12 = 31/60
            Y’s New ratio     = 2/5 – 1/12 = 19/60
            Z’s share           = 1/6
            New ratio         = 31/60, 19/60,1/6 or 31:19:10

Question. Rakhi and Parul are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:1. Neha is admitted as a partner. The new profit sharing ratio among Rakhi, Parul and Neha is 2:3:2. Find out the sacrificing ratio.
Ans.
            Old ratio          = Rakhi : Parul            = 3:1
            New ratio = Rakhi: Parul: Neha          = 2:3:2
            Rakhi’s sacrifice                                  = 3/4 – 2/7 = 13/28
            Parul’s sacrifice                                   = 1/4 -3/7 = 5/28 (Gain)

            So, Rakhi’s sacrifice 13/28th share and Parul is gaining to the extent of 5/28th share.

                                                                   = 48000
            C brings                                          = 26000 for 1/4th share
            Total capital of the firm                  = 26000 X 4/1
                                                                   = 104000
            Existing capital of the firm            = 48000 + 26000
                                                                   = 74000 

            Goodwill                                         = 104000 – 74000      
                                                                   = 30000

            Calculation of Hidden Goodwill.
            C brings 8000 for 1/5 share

             Since total capital of the firm          = 8000 X 5/1
                                                                     = 40000

             Existing capital of the firm              = 13000 + 9000 + 8000
                                                                     = 30000
            Goodwill                                          = 40000 – 30000
                                                                     = 10000
            C’s share of goodwill                        = 10000 X 1/5
