Option 3: X brought Rs 10,800 and Y paid Rs 24,800
Option 4: None of the above
Correct Answer: X Rs 10,800 and Y Rs 24,800
Solution : Answer = X Rs 10,800 and Y Rs 24,800
Adjusted Capital of X = 43200
Adjusted Capital of Y = 36600
Adjusted Capital of Z = 11,200
(-) Closing Cash Balance = 3000
(-) Available Cash Balance = 4000
Total Capital of the New Firm = 90,000
X= $90,000\times\frac{3}{5} = 54000$
Z = $28000\times\frac{2}{5} = 36000$
X | Z | X | Z | ||
Bal. B/D | 43200 | 11200 | |||
To Bal. C/D | 54000 | 36000 | By Bank (B (+) | 10800 | 24800 |
54000 | 36000 | 54000 | 36000 |
