The ratio in which the old partners agree to sacrifice their share of profit in favour of the incoming partner is called sacrificing ratio. Identify the correct statements regarding sacrificing ratio.

(A) Sacrifice by a Partner = New Share of Profit – Old Share of Profit

(B) This ratio is calculated for all the partners i.e. old and incoming

(C) The ratio is normally clearly given as agreed among the partners, which could be the old ratio, equal sacrifice, or a specified ratio

(D) Sacrifice by a Partner = Old Share of Profit – New Share of Profit

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Sacrifice is measured as old share minus new share, so (D) is correct and (A), which reverses the subtraction, is not. The sacrificing ratio is computed only for the old partners, since the incoming partner acquires rather than gives up a share, so (B) fails. Statement (C) correctly notes that the ratio is usually specified by agreement.
