Correct Answer: Debited B by Rs 4,000 and K debited by Rs 6,000 and credited P’s account by Rs 10,000


Solution : Answer = Debited B by Rs 4,000 and K debited by Rs 6,000 and credited P’s account by Rs 10,000

Total profits = 50000+55000+75000

                   = 1,80,000
Average profit = 1,80000/3 = 60,000
Mormal profit = 45000
Super profit = AP - NP

                   = 60,000 - 45000
                  = 15000

Goodwill = 15000 * 1.5 = 22500
P's Capital = 22500 * 4/9 = 10000 E
B's Capital A/C Dr. 4000
K's Capital A/C Dr. 6000
To P's Capital A/C = 10,000
G.Ratio = NR - OR
B:K = 2:3
Hence, the correct ratio is 2.
