Correct Answer: Balance of D's Executors a/c Rs 2,00,000 and New profit sharing ratio 3: 4: 3


Solution : Answer = Balance of D's Executors a/ c Rs 2,00,000 and New profit sharing ratio 3: 4: 3

D's Capital A/c

To D's Executor A/c

(Bal. Figure)

2,00,000 By Bal. B/D  1,50,000
  By Reserve (65000 x 4/10) 26,000
  A's Capital  12,000
  B's Capital  12,000
  2,00,000   2,00,000

Average profit = 20,000

Goodwill = 20,000 x 3 = 60,000
Hence, the correct option is 1.

D's Share = 60000 x 4/10 = 24000

A takes = 4/10 x 1/2 = 2/10 from D

B takes = 4/10 x 1/2 = 2/10 from D

A = 1/10 + 2/10 = 3/10 

B = 2/10 + 2/10 = 4/10 

C = 3/10

New Profit sharing ratio = 3:4:3
