Amar and Barun are partners, sharing profits in the ratio of 3:1. Charu is admitted into the firm for 1/5 share of profits. Charu brought in Rs. 30,000 in respect of her capital. The capitals of old partners Amar and Barun, after all adjustments relating to goodwill, revaluation of assets and liabilities, etc., are Rs. 65,000 and Rs. 15,000 respectively. It is agreed that partners' capitals should be according to the new profit sharing ratio. Calculate the amount brought in/withdrawn by Amar to adjust his capital according to the new profit sharing ratio.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Total capital based on Charu =30,000×5=1,50,000= 30,000 \times 5 = 1,50,000.

Amar and Barun share the remaining 45\frac{4}{5} in 3:13:1, so Amar's new share is 35\frac{3}{5}.

Amar's required capital =35×1,50,000=90,000= \frac{3}{5} \times 1,50,000 = 90,000.

Existing balance 65,00065,000, so he brings in 90,000−65,000=25,00090,000 - 65,000 = 25,000.
