Hari’s capital A/cDr.8,000
   To Rajesh’s capital A/c2,000
   To Mukesh capital A/c8,000
(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

                           =1/18

             Mukesh = 1/2 - 3/9

                           =3/18

Sacrificing ratio between Rajesh and Mukesh is 1:3
