In admission of a partner, arrange the following in a sequence for adjustment of capital:

A. Calculate required capitals of old partners

B. Calculate firm's new capital

C. Calculate new profit sharing ratio

D. Find out the cash to be brought in or withdrawn by old partners after all adjustments

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The new ratio must be known first (C) because capitals are to be proportionate to it. Then the firm's total new capital is worked out (B), from which each old partner's required capital is derived (A). Comparing required capital with the adjusted existing capital gives the cash to be brought in or withdrawn (D).
