Goodwill

=

 ` 6,00,000

B’s Share of Goodwill

=

 ` (6,00,000 × 2/6) =  ` 2,00,000


2. Calculation of B’s Share of Loss till the date of his death i.e. 30th June, 2020

Previous year’s loss

=

 ` 15,00,000

B’s share of loss till the date of death

=

Previous year’s loss × B’s Share of Loss × Months till the date of his death/12

Question 22:


P, R and S are in partnership sharing profits 4/8, 3/8 and 1/8 respectively. It is provided in the Partnership Deed that on the death of any partner his share of goodwill is to be valued at one-half of the net profit credited to his account during the last four completed years.
R died on 1st January, 2021. The firm's profits for the last four years ended 31st December, were as: 
2017 −  ` 1,20,000; 2018 −  ` 80,000; 2019 −  ` 40,000; 2020 −  ` 80,000.
(a) Determine the amount that should be credited to R in respect of his share of Goodwill.
(b) Pass Journal entry without raising Goodwill Account for its adjustment.

 

Answer:


Calculation of R’s Share of Goodwill

Profit credited to R’s Capital Account in 4 years = Net profit for last four years × R’s Share
=1,20,000+80,000+80,000+4,000×3/8          

=3,20,000×3/8=1,20,000

(R’s share of goodwill adjusted)

 

 

 


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
