Working Notes:

1) Pammy’s Share of Profit

Previous Year’s Profit x Proportionate Period x Share of Deceased Partner

2) Pammy’s Share of Goodwill

Goodwill of the firm = Average Profit  Numbers of Year’s Purchase

Average Profit

Goodwill of the firm = 50,000 x 3 = Rs 1,50,000

3) Gaining Ratio = New Ratio – Old Ratio

Puneet’s Share

Pankaj’s Share

Gaining Ratio between Puneet and Pankaj = 2 : 2 or 1 : 1

4) Interest on Capital for 6 months, i.e. from April 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007

Amount of Capital x Rate of Interest x Period

5) Interest Amount

The firm closes its books every year on March 31, while installments to Pammy's Executor are paid on September 30 every year.

Amount outstanding on 30 September = 75,400 – 15,400 = Rs 60,000

Working Notes:

1) Pramod’s share of goodwill = Total goodwill of the firm × Retiring Partner’s Share =

2) Gaining Ratio = New Ratio − Old Ratio

Gaining Ratio between Rajesh and Nishant = 2:1

NOTE: In the above solution, in order to adjust the capital of remaining partners in the new firm according to their new profit sharing ratio, the surplus or the deficit of Capital Account is transferred to their Current Account. But, in order to match the answer with that of given in the book, the surplus or the deficit amount of the Partners' Capital Account, will either be withdrawn or brought in by the old partners. This treatment will be shown in the Partners’ Capital itself and no need to transfer the surplus or deficit capital balance to their Current Accounts. The following Journal entry is passed to record the withdrawal of surplus capital by the partners.

If existing partners withdraw their excess capital
