Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
The new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio must be settled first, because the sacrificing ratio decides how goodwill is credited. Goodwill is then valued and adjusted, followed by adjustment of partners' capitals, and the reconstituted balance sheet is prepared last once all figures are settled.
