Date | Particulars | L.F | Amount (Dr.) | Amount (Cr.) | |
Hari’s capital A/c | Dr. | 8,000 | |||
To Rajesh’s capital A/c | 2,000 | ||||
To Mukesh capital A/c | 8,000 | ||||
(Hari’s share of Goodwill is taken from his capital by old partner Hari and Mukesh in their sacrificing ratio) |
Calculation of Hari's share of Goodwill:
Firm's Goodwill = Rs 36,000
Hari's share of Goodwill
= 36,000 X 2/9
=Rs 8,000
Calculation of Sacrificing ratio between old partners:
Sacrificing ratio = old ratio-new ratio
Rajesh = 1/2 - 4/9

Mukesh = 1/2 - 3/9
=3/18
Sacrificing ratio between Rajesh and Mukesh is 1:3
