Solution
The ratios must be settled first, since goodwill adjustment depends on the gaining ratio, so (B) comes first. Revaluation of assets and liabilities (D) follows, because its profit or loss must be transferred to capital accounts.
Only then can the deceased partner's Capital Account (C) be completed, and its closing balance is finally transferred to the Executor's Account (A).
Sequence: (B), (D), (C), (A).
