Working Notes:

WN1: Calculation of Z’s Share of Profit

Z's share=Firm's Average Profit×Z's Profit Share×Period for which Z remained in the business

Average Profits=Total Profits Number of Years=18,000+19,000+17,000/3=54,000/3=` 18,000

Z's share=18,000×13×2/12=1,000 to be borne by gaining partners in gaining ratio in case b

WN2: Calculation of Gaining Ratio

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio − Old Ratio

X's gain=3/5−1/3=415

Y's gain=2/5−1/3=115

Gaining Ratio=4:1

X's share=18,000×4/5=800

Y's share=18,000×1/5=200

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

Sales for the year ended 31st March, 2020 were ` 10,00,000

Percentage of Profit ended 31st March, 2020 were 10,00,000 × 100 ÷ 1,00,000 = 10 %

Sales during April to June, 2020 were ` 1,50,000

Profit from April to June, 2020 were ` 1,50,000 × 10 ÷ 100 = 15,000
