Amitabh, Deepika and Lara are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2:1. Deepika retires. After making all adjustments relating to revaluation, goodwill and accumulated profit etc., the capital accounts of Amitabh and Lara showed a credit balance of Rs. 1,60,000 and Rs. 80,000 respectively. It was decided to adjust the capitals of Amitabh and Lara in their new profit sharing ratio. Calculate the actual cash to be paid off or to be brought in by the continuing partners.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

New ratio of Amitabh and Lara =3:1= 3:1. Total capital of the new firm =1,60,000+80,000=Rs. 2,40,000= 1,60,000 + 80,000 = Rs.\,2,40,000. Required capitals: Amitabh =2,40,000×3/4=Rs. 1,80,000= 2,40,000 \times 3/4 = Rs.\,1,80,000; Lara =Rs. 60,000= Rs.\,60,000. Amitabh must bring in 1,80,000−1,60,000=Rs. 20,0001,80,000 - 1,60,000 = Rs.\,20,000 and Lara withdraws 80,000−60,000=Rs. 20,00080,000 - 60,000 = Rs.\,20,000.
