Working Notes:
1. Calculation of new profit and loss sharing ratio Nisha will get 1/4th share in the new profit sharing
ratio.
Therefore, remaining share will be 1-1/4 = 3/4
Share of Kamal will be 3/4 × 2/3 = 2/4 i.e. 1/2
Share of Rani will be 3/4 × 1/3 = 1/4
New ratio will be
Kamal: Rani: Nisha
1/2 : 1/4 ; 1/4
2:1:1
2. Calculation of closing capital of Nisha

Closing capitals of Kamal & Rani after all adjustments are: Kamal = `23,40,000
Rani = ` 11,70,000
Since Rani's capital is less than Kamal's capital, therefore Rani's capital is taken as base.
Hence, Nisha's closing capital should be `11,70,000 (46,80,000 × 1/4) i.e. at par with Rani (as per
new profit and loss sharing ratio)
3. Adjustment entry for goodwill

If the two basic criteria are satisfied, then the cost should be recognized as an asset. If the cost of the
replaced asset was not separately identifiable, then the cost of the replacement can be used as an
Indication of the cost of the replaced item, which should be removed from the asset record.
