Correct Answer: Debited A by Rs 60,000 and credited B by Rs 20,000 and credited D by Rs 40,000


Solution : Answer = Debited A by Rs 60,000 and credited B by Rs 20,000 and credited D by Rs 40,000

G ratio = New ratio - Old Ratio

A = 4/10 - 1/10 = 3/10

B = 3/10 - 4/10 = -1/10

C = 3/10 - 3/10 = zero

D = 2/10

Total Goodwill = 2,00,000
D's Share = 2,00,000 * 2/10 = 40,000 E
(2,00,000 * 3/10) A's Capital A/C Dr 60,000
(2,00,000* 1/10) To B's Capital A/C 20,000
                            To D's Capital A/C 40,000
Hence, the correct option is 2.
