Solution
Looking at each scenario and identifying the relevant accounting concept:
(A) Admission of a partner → (II) Sacrificing Ratio
When a new partner is admitted, the existing partners give up (sacrifice) a portion of their profit share to the incoming partner. The proportion in which they sacrifice is calculated using the Sacrificing Ratio.
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio - New Ratio
(B) Retirement of a partner → (IV) Gaining Ratio
When a partner retires, the remaining partners acquire (gain) the retiring partner's share. The proportion in which they gain is calculated using the Gaining Ratio.
Gaining Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio
(C) Death of a partner → (I) Executor Accounts
When a partner dies, all amounts due to the deceased partner (capital, share of goodwill, share of profits, etc.) are transferred to the Executor's Account or Legal Representative's Account. This account represents the heir or legal representative of the deceased partner.
(D) Dissolution of a partnership → (III) Realisation Account
When the partnership firm is dissolved, all assets are sold and liabilities are paid off. The Realisation Account is prepared to record the sale of assets, payment of liabilities, and calculation of profit or loss on realisation.
Correct matching:
- (A) → (II)
- (B) → (IV)
- (C) → (I)
