C. State True or False with reasons:
Question 1.
A new partner can bring capital in cash or kind.
Answer:
This statement is True.
As per the provision of partnership deed, when any person is admitted in the firm, he has to bring some amount as capital which can be in cash or in-kind of assets to get rights in the assets and definite share in the future profit of the firm.
Question 2.
When goodwill is paid privately to the partners, it is not recorded in the books.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When goodwill is paid privately to the partners, by a newly admitted person, then in such case no transaction takes place in the business, and the firm as such is not all benefited. Hence it is not recorded in the books of accounts.
Question 3.
The gain ratio is calculated at the time of admission of a partner.
Answer:
This statement is False.
At the time of admission of a person, in the business, sacrifices are made by the old partners in favour of the new partner. It means there is no question of any gain to the partners, so we can say that the Gain ratio is not calculated at the time of admission of a partner.
Question 4.
Revaluation profit is distributed among all partners including new partners.
Answer:
This statement is False.
Revaluation profit arises due to efforts and hardworking of the old partners in the past and hence profit earned on revaluation of assets and liabilities at the time of admission of a person as a partner in the business belongs to old partners. So, such profit is not distributed among all partners including the new partners. It is distributed only among old partners.
Question 5.
Change in the relationship between the partners is called as Reconstitution of Partnership.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When any person joins the business as a partner, a change in the relationship takes place. The old agreement is terminated and a new agreement is prepared. There is the change in profit or loss sharing ratio and relationship of the partners which is known as Reconstitution of Partnership.
Question 6.
New partners always bring their share of goodwill in cash.
Answer:
This statement is False.
When a new person is admitted to the partnership firm, the old partners surrender a certain share in profit and give it to a new partner. In exchange for that new partner is required to bring goodwill in cash or in kind. If he is unable to bring cash for goodwill, then Goodwill is raised and adjusted to the new partner’s capital A/c.
Question 7.
When the goodwill is written off, the goodwill account is debited.
Answer:
This statement is False.
To write off goodwill means to decrease or wipe out the value of goodwill. When goodwill as an asset of the business is raised, Goodwill A/c is debited in the books of Account. Conversely, when Goodwill is written off from the business, the Goodwill A/c is credited in the books of business.
Question 8.
The new ratio minus the old ratio is equal to the sacrifice ratio.
Answer:
This statement is False.
When a new partner is admitted, old partners have to sacrifice their profit share in favour of the new partner and their old ratio gets reduced and whatever ratio is left becomes a new ratio. Hence, as per equation:
New Ratio = Old Ratio – Sacrifice Ratio.
By interchanging the terms,
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio.
Question 9.
Usually, when a new partner is admitted to the firm, there will be an increase in the capital of the firm.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When a new partner is admitted to the firm, he brings his share of capital and goodwill, in cash or in-kind, to enjoy the right of sharing the future profit, and hence there will be an increase in the capital of the firm.
Question 10.
Cash/Bank Account is credited when goodwill is withdrawn by the old partners.
Answer:
This statement is True.
When a new partner brings his share of goodwill, old partners have the right to withdraw it in cash. Therefore, when old partners withdraw the amount of goodwill, cash goes out from the firm and not goodwill. Hence Cash/Bank A/c is credited.

E. Calculate the following:
Question 1.
A and B are partners in a firm sharing profit and losses in the ratio of 1 : 1. C is admitted. A surrenders 1/4th share and B surrenders 1/5th of his share in favour of C. Calculate new profit sharing ratio.
Solution:
Old ratio of A and B = 1 : 1 or 12 : 12
A’s sacrifice = 14×12=18
B’s sacrifice = 15×12=110
Sacrificing ratio of A and B = 18 : 110 = 5 : 4
C’s share = A’s share + B’s share = 18+110=5+440=940
A’s new share = Old ratio – Sacrifice ratio = 12−18=4−18=38
B’s new share = Old ratio – Sacrifice ratio = 12−110=5−110=410
Therefore, New ratio of A, B and C = 38:410:940 = 15 : 16 : 9
(Making denominator equal)
Question 2.
Anika and Radhika are partners sharing profit in the ratio of 5 : 1. They decide to admit Sanika to the firm for 1/5th share. Calculate the Sacrifice ratio of Anika and Radhika.
Solution:
Balance = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – 15
= 45 (Remaining share)
New ratio = Old ratio x Balance of 1
Anika’s New ratio = 56×45=2030
Radhika’s New ratio = 16×45=430
Sanika’s New ratio = 15×66=630 (Making denominator equal)
∴ New Profit and Loss ratio = 2030:430:630 = 20 : 4 : 6 i.e. 10 : 2 : 3
Sacrifice ratio = old ratio – New ratio
Anika’s Sacrifice ratio = 56−2030=25−2030=530
Radhika’s Sacrifice ratio = 16−430=5−430=130
∴ Sacrifice ratio = 530:130 = 5 : 1
Question 3.
Pramod and Vinod are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. After the admission of Ramesh the New ratio of Pramod, Vinod and Ramesh are 4 : 3 : 2. Find out the Sacrifice ratio.
Solution:
Sacrifice Ratio = Old ratio – New ratio
Pramod’s Sacrifice ratio = 35−49=27−2045=745
Vinod’s Sacrifice ratio = 25−39=18−1545=345
∴ Sacrifice ratio = 745:345 = 7 : 3.

Vikram’s new ratio = 25×34=620
Pradnya’s new ratio = 35×34=920
Avani’s ratio = 14=14×55=520
∴ New profit sharing ratio = 6 : 9 : 5.
Capital amount adjusted in their new profit and loss ratio:
Total Capital of the Partnership Firm = (Reciprocal of New Partner’s Share) × (Capital of New Partner)
= (Reciprocal of 14) × 37,500
= 4 × 37,500
= ₹ 1,50,000
Vikram’s Capital balance = (Vikram’s New Ratio) × (Total Capital of the firm)

Write this amount on the debit side of the partners’ Capital Account in Vrushali’s column.
3. Calculation of new ratio = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – 14
= 34 (Remaining share)
New ratio = Old ratio × Balance 1 (Remaining Share)
Vrushali’s new ratio = 12×34=38
Leena’s new ratio = 12×34=38
Aparna’s ratio = 14

= 20,000 + 1,00,000 + 40,000
= ₹ 1,60,000
2. Sacrifice ratio = Old ratio – New ratio
Sahil’s sacrifice = 35−38=24−1540=940
Nikhil’s sacrifice = 25−28=16−1040=640
i.e. sacrifice ratio = 940:640 = 9 : 6 = 3 : 2.

= 1,10,000 + 50,000 + 40,000
= ₹ 2,00,000
2. For calculation of new profit and loss ratio:
Calculation of new profit ratio = 1 – share of new partner
= 1 – 14
= 34 (Remaining share)
New ratio = old ratio × balance 1 (Remaining share)
Amit’s new ratio = 25×34=620
Baban’s new ratio = 35×34=920
Kamal’s ratio = 14=14×55=520
