Lata, Shivangi and Vineeta are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. Shivangi retires. After making all adjustments relating to revaluation, goodwill and accumulated profit etc., the capital accounts of Lata and Vineeta showed a credit balance of Rs. 3,20,000 and Rs. 2,40,000 respectively. It was decided to adjust the capitals of Lata and Vineeta in their new profit sharing ratio. What would be the journal entries for bringing in or withdrawal of the necessary amounts involved?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

New ratio of Lata and Vineeta =5:2=5:2. Total capital =3,20,000+2,40,000=5,60,000=3{,}20{,}000+2{,}40{,}000=5{,}60{,}000.

Lata should have 5/7×5,60,000=4,00,0005/7 \times 5{,}60{,}000 = 4{,}00{,}000, so she brings in 80,00080{,}000.

Vineeta should have 2/7×5,60,000=1,60,0002/7 \times 5{,}60{,}000 = 1{,}60{,}000, so she withdraws 80,00080{,}000.
