Correct Answer: Rs 2,10,000


Solution : Answer = Rs 2,10,000

Old Ratio of Vimal and Kamal $\quad=\frac{4}{5}: \frac{1}{5}$
New Ratio of Vimal, Kamal and Amal $=\frac{1}{3}: \frac{1}{3}: \frac{1}{3}$

Sacrifice or Gain:
Vimal: $\frac{4}{5}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{12-5}{15}=\frac{7}{15}$ (Sacrifice)
Kamal : $\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{3} \quad=\frac{3-5}{15}=\frac{2}{15}$ (Gain)
Amal : $\frac{1}{3}$ or $\frac{5}{15}$ (Gain)
Only Vimal sacrifices his share to the benefit of Kamal and Amal. Consequently, not only the goodwill brought in by Amal will be credited to Vimal, but Kamal must also give $\frac{2}{15}$ th share of goodwill to Vimal. The total value of the Firm's goodwill based on Amal's share is Rs.1,50,000 $\times \frac{3}{1}$ or Rs.4,50,000. Hence, the amount of goodwill to be contributed by Kamal will be (Rs. 4,50,000 $\times \frac{2}{15}$ ) or Rs.60,000. This will be adjusted by debiting Kamal's Capital A/c and crediting Vimal's Capital A/c.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
