Ts grewal practical problems of Death of A Partner (2023-2024)

 Death of A Partner Ts grewal solution volume-1(2023-2024)

Question 1:


A, B and C were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 1/2, 2/5 and 1/10. Find the new ratio of the remaining partners if C dies.

 

Answer:


Old Ratio (A, B and C) =1/2 :2/5 : 1/10 or 5 : 4 : 1

As we can see, no information is given as to how A and B are acquiring C's profit share after his death, so the new profit sharing ratio between A and B is calculated just by crossing out the C’s share. That is, the new ratio becomes 5 : 4.

∴ New Profit Ratio (A and B) = 5 : 4

 

Question 2:


From the following particulars, calculate new profit-sharing ratio of the partners:
(a) Shiv, Mohan and Hari were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 5 : 4. Mohan died and his share was taken equally between Shiv and Hari.
(b) P, Q and R were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 4 : 1. P died from.

 

Answer:


(a)

Old Ratio (Shiv, Mohan and Hari) = 5 : 5 : 4

Mohan’s Profit Share = 5/14

His share is divided between Shiv and Hari equally i.e. in the ratio of 1: 1

Share of mohan taken by shiv=5/14×1/2=5/28

Share of mohan taken by Hari=5/14×1/2=5/28

New Profit Share = Old Profit Share  +  Share taken from Mohan

Shiv’s new share=5/14+5/28=10+5/28=15/28           

Hari’s  new share=4/14+5/28=8+5/28=13/28

∴ New Profit Ratio (Shiv and Hari) = 15: 13

(b)

Old Ratio (P, Q and R) = 5: 4: 1

P’s Profit Share = 5/10

As we can see, no information is given as to how Q and R are acquiring P's profit share after his death, so the new profit sharing ratio between Q and R is calculated just by crossing out the P’s share. That is, the new ratio becomes 4 : 1

∴New Profit Ratio (Q and R) = 4: 1

 

Question 3:


R, S and M are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 2/5, 2/5 and 1/5. M died and his share is taken by R and S in the ratio of 1 : 2. Calculate the new profit-sharing ratio.

 

Answer:


Old Ratio (R, S and M) = 2: 2 : 1

M retires from the firm.

His profit share = 1/5

M’s share taken by R and S in ratio of 1 : 2

Share taken by R: 1/5×1/3=1/15

Share taken by S: 1/5×2/3=215

New Ratio = Old Ratio + Share acquired from M

R's New Share: 2/5+1/15=6+1/15=7/15

S's New Share: 2/5+2/15=6+2/15=8/15

∴ New Profit Ratio (R and S) = 7 : 8

 

Question 4:


A, B and C were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 2. A died, B and C will share profits in the ratio of 2 : 1. Determine the gaining ratio.

 

Answer:


Old Ratio (A, B and C) = 4 : 3 : 2

New Ratio (B and C) = 2 : 1

Gaining Ratio=New Ratio − Old Ratio

B’s gain=2/3-3/9=6-3/9=3/9   

C’s gain=1/3-2/9=3-2/9=1/9   

∴Gaining Ratio = 3: 1

 

Question 5:


(a) W, X, Y and Z are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 1/3, 1/6, 1/3 and 1/6 respectively. Y died and W, X and Z decide to share the profits and losses equally in future.
Calculate gaining ratio.
(b) A, B and C are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4: 3: 2. C died. A is acquiring 4/9 of C's share and balance is acquired by B. Calculate the new profit-sharing ratio and gaining ratio.

 

Answer:


(a)

Old Ratio (W, X, Y and Z) = of 1/3;1/6: 1/3;1/6 or 2 : 1 : 2 : 1

New Ratio (W, X and Z) = 1 : 1 : 1

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio − Old Ratio

W's Gain=1/3-2/6=2-2/6=0/6

X's Gain=1/3-1/6=2-1/6=1/6

Z's Gain=1/3-1/6=2-1/6=1/6              

∴Gaining Ratio = 0: 1: 1

 

(b)

Old Ratio (A, B and C) = 4: 3: 2

C’s Profit Share =2/9

A acquires 4/9 of C’s Share and remaining share is acquired by B.

Share acquired by A=2/9×4/9=8/81

Share acquired by B=C’s share- Share acquired by A=2/9-8/81=10/81

New Profit Share = Old Profit Share + Share acquired from C

A’s new share=4/9+8/81=36+8/81=44/81

B’s new share=3/9+10/81=27+10/81=37/81

New Profit Ratio A and B = 44: 37

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio − Old Ratio

A's Gain=44/81-4/9=44-36/81=8/81

B's Gain=37/81-3/9=37-27/81=10/81

∴Gaining Ratio = 8: 10 or 4: 5

Question 6:


Keshv, Nirmal, and Pankaj are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5: 3: 2. Pankaj died and his share is taken by Keshv. Calculate new profit-sharing ratio of Keshv and Nirmal.

 

Answer:


Old Ratio (Keshv, Nirmal, and Pankaj) = 5: 3: 2

Pankaj died from the firm.

His profit share = 210

Pankaj’s share is taken by Keshv in entirety

New Ratio = Old Ratio + Share acquired from Pankaj

Keshv 's New Share: 5/10+2/10=7/10

Nirmal 's New Share: 3/10+0=310

∴ New Profit Ratio (Keshv and Nirmal) = 7: 3

Question 7:


X, Y and Z were partners in a firm sharing profit in 3 : 2 : 1. The firm closes its books on 31st March every year. Y died on 30th June, 2021. On Y's death goodwill of the firm was valued at  ` 60,000. Y's share in the profit of the firm till the date of his death was to be calculated on the basis of previous year's profit which was  ` 1,50,000.

Working Notes:

R’s Share of Goodwill = ` 60,000

Old Ratio (P, R and S) = 4 : 3 : 1

R died.

∴ Gaining Ratio = 4 : 1

This share of goodwill is to be distributed between P and S in their gaining ratio (i.e. 4 : 1)

p’s Share of Goodwill = 60,000×4/5=48,000

S’s share of Goodwill =60,000 ×1/5=12,000

Question 10: Dinkar, Navita and Vani were partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 :2:1. Navita died on 30th June, 2017. Her share of profit for the intervening period was based on the sales during that period, which were ` 6,00,000. The rate of profit during the past four years had been 10% on sales. The firm closes its books on 31st March every year.


Calculate Navita’s share of profit. (CBSE 2019)

 

Answer:


Sales during that period of the firm from 1st April, 2017 to 30th June, 2017 ` 6,00,000

The rate of profit during the past four years had been 10% on sales

Profit of the firm from 1st April, 2017 to 30th June, 2017 is ` 6,00,000 × 10/100 = ` 60,000

Question 13:


A, B and C are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. B died on 30th June, 2021. For the year ended 31st March, 2022, proportionate profit of 2021 is to be taken into consideration. During the year ended 31st March, 2022, bad debts of  ` 2,000 had to be adjusted. Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2021 was  `14,000 before adjustment of bad debts. Calculate B's share of profit till the date of his death.

 

Answer:


Profit for the year 2020-21 before adjusting bad debts = ` 14,000

Bad debts = ` 2,000

Profits after adjusting bad debts =14,000 – 2,000= `.12,000

Proportionate profit of the firm (from April 01, 2021 to June 30, 2022)
=12,000×3/12=3,000

B’s share of profit (from April 01, 2021 to June 30, 2022)=

Question 14: Ram, Manu and Hari were partners in a firm. Hari died on 30th June, 2022. His share of profit from the closure of the last accounting year till the date of death was to be calculated on the basis of the average of three completed financial years of profits before death. Profits for the years ended 31st March, 2020, 2021 and 2022 were ` 1,10,000; ` 1,20,000 and ` 1,30,000 respectively. Calculate Hari’s share of profit till the date of his death and pass necessary Journal entry for the same.


 

Answer:


Total profit previous three years = 1,10,000 + 1,20,000  + 1,30,000 = 3,60,000

Average Profit previous three years = 3,60,000/3 = 1,20,000

Hari died on 30th June, 2022 after 3 month of beginning of the year (from 1 April 2021 to 30th June, 2022)

Hari’s share of Profit for 3 month = 1,20,000 × 3 × 1 ÷ 12 × 3 = ` 10,000

You are required to calculate share of profit of C till the date of his death.


 

Answer:


A, B and C were partners sharing profits (2:2:1)

C died on 30th June, 2021 after 3 month of beginning of the year (from 1 April 2021 to 31st June, 2021)

Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2020 were ` 1,00,000

Working notes:

WN-1 Calculation of goodwill

The average profits of the last three years were ` 55,000

Goodwill of the Firm = ` 55,000×2=1,10,000

Share of Sadhu is in Goodwill = 1,10,000 × 4/10 = 44,000

Goodwill Share of Sadhu is in Goodwill will be compensated by Raja and Karan in 2:4

Raja = 44,000 × 2/6 = 14,667

Karan = 44,000 × 4/6 = 29,333

WN-2 Interest on capital was to be provided @ 5% p.a.

Sadhu’s Interest on Capital = 80,000×5×4/100×12= 1,333

 

WN-3 Calculation of Sadhu’s share of Profit

Sales for the year ended 31st March, 2021 = ` 4,50,000

The profit for the year ended 31st March, 2021 = ` 1,25,000.

Percentage of Profit for the year ended 31st March, 2021 = 1,25,000×100/4,50,000= 28%

Sales from 1st April to 31st July, 2021 = ` 2,70,000

Profit from 1st April to 31st July, 2021 = ` 2,70,000×28/100= ` 75,600

Sadhu’s Share of Profit = 75,600×28×4/100×10 = ` 8,467

Working Notes:

WN 1 Calculation of Goodwill

Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Year’s Purchase

Average profit = total profit of past given years/number of years

Average profit =65,000+60,000+80,000+75,000/4=2,80,000/4=70,000

∴ Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Years’ Purchase
                = 70,000 × 2.5 = ` 1,75,000

WN 2 Adjustment of Goodwill

Old Ratio (R, S and T) = 5 : 3 : 2

T died.

∴ New Ratio (R and S) = 5 : 3 and

Gaining Ratio = 5 : 3

T’s Share in Goodwill = 1,75,000×2/10=35,000

This share of goodwill is to be distributed between R and S in their gaining ratio (i.e. 5 : 3).

R’s Share of Goodwill =35,000×5/8=21875

S’s Share of Goodwill =35,000×3/8=13,125


WN 3 Calculation of T’s Share of Profit

Profit for 2017-18 = ` 75,000

T's Share of Profit for 2017-18 =75,000×2/10×4/12=`5,000

Working Notes:

WN1 Calculation of Goodwill

Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Year’s Purchase

Average profit = total profit of past given years/number of years

Average profit =24,000+16,000+20,000+10,000+5000/5=15,000

∴ Goodwill = Average Profit × Number of Years’ Purchase

              = 15,000 × 3 = ` 45,000

WN2 Adjustment of Goodwill

Old Ratio = 3 : 2 : 1

Z died.

∴ New Ratio (X and Y) = 3 : 1 and

Gaining Ratio = 3 : 2

Z’s Share in Goodwill = 45,000×1/6=7,500

This share of goodwill is to be distributed between X and Y in their gaining ratio (i.e. 3 : 1).

X’s Share of Goodwill = 7,500×3/5=4,500

Y’s Share of Goodwill = 7,500×2,5=3,000



WN3 Calculation Z’s Share of Profit

Profit for 2021 (Immediate Previous Year) = ` 24,000

∴ Z’s Profit Share = 24,000×1/6×4/12=1,333
