WORKING NOTES :-
Old ratio = 3:2
New ratio = 1:1
Bhavya = 3/5 – ½ = 6 – 5/10 = 1/10 (sacrifice)
Sakshi = 2/5 – ½ = 4 – 5/10 = -1/10 (gain)
Calculation of goodwill
Sakshi’s capital A/c debited by (24,000 x 1/10 = Rs 2,400)
Bhavya’s capital A/c credited by (24,000 x 1/10 = Rs 2,400)
Calculation for general reserve
Sakshi’s capital A/c debited by (23,400 x 1/10 = Rs 2,340)
Bhavya’s capital A/c credited by (23,400 x 1/10 = Rs 2,340)
