R died, and the profits of the firm for five years were agreed at Rs.20,000; Rs.30,000; Rs. 15,000 (loss); Rs.5,000 (loss); and Rs.45,000 respectively. Book Debts stood at Rs.90,000. Q. R’s Capital Account will be credited with______________.
Option 1: Rs 18,000
Option 2: Rs 22,500
Option 3: Rs 7200
Option 4: Rs 14,500
Correct Answer: Rs 7200
Solution : Answer = Rs 7200
R’s Capital Account will be credited with Rs.7,200
Total profit = 20,000 + 30,000 + (-15000) + (-5000) + 45000 = 75000
Average profit = 75000/ 5 = 15000
Goodwill = 15000 x 1.5 = 22500
Net Goodwill = 22,500 - 4,500 (5% of Book Debts) = Rs. 18,000 R ’s Share = 18,000 × 40%= Rs.7,200 Hence, the correct option is 3.
