Correct Answer: Debited by Rs 13,687


Solution : Answer = Debited by Rs 13,687

Total Profit of Last 3 years = 2,19000
X's Share of Profit = 2,19000 × 4/8

                            = 109500
X's Share of Goodwill = 109500 × 50 % = 54750
G. Ratio = NR - OR
Y = 1/2 - 3/8 = 4.3/8 = 1/8

Z = 1/2 - 1/8 = 4-1/8 = 3/8
G. Ratio = 1:3

Y's Capital A/C Dr 13687
Z's Capital A/C Dr 41063
To X's Capital A/C 54750
(G. Ratio = 1:3)
Hence, the correct option is 1.
