18 :- Anil and Bimal are partners. They admit Raman as a partner for 1/4 share
You are required to determine
(a) Profit sharing ratio between Anil and Bimal before Raman’s admission as a partner.
(b) Profit sharing ratio after Raman’s admission
(c) Sacrificing ratio
Solution :-
(a)Profit sharing ratio between Anil and Bimal before Raman’s admission must be 1:1
(b) New profit sharing ratio
Let profit share of the firm be 1
Raman admitted for 1/4 share
Remaining share for Anil and Bimal is 3/4
Anil = 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8
Bimal = 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8
Raman = 1/4 x 2/2 = 2/8
New profit sharing ratio of Anil, Bimal and Raman is 3:3:2
(c) Old ratio – new ratio
Anil = 1/2 – 3/8 = 1/8
Bimal = 1/2 – 3/8 = 1/8
Thus, sacrificing ratio is 1:1
