X, Y and Z are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 2. Y retires and his capital after making adjustments for reserves and profits on revaluation stands at Rs 92,800. X and Z agreed to pay him Rs 1,00,000 in full settlement of his claim. Find the amount of goodwill of the firm.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Excess paid over the adjusted capital is Y's share of goodwill =1,00,000−92,800=7,200= 1,00,000 - 92,800 = 7,200. Y's share of profit is 3/9=1/33/9 = 1/3, so the firm's goodwill =7,200×3=21,600= 7,200 \times 3 = 21,600.
