Case Based MCQ for Accounts Chapter 5 – Admission of a Partner
Question no.’s 1 to 4 are based on the hypothetical situation given below:
(B) Amit and Mahesh were partners in a fast-food corner sharing profits and losses in ratio 3:2. They sold fast food items across the counter and did home delivery too. Their initial fixed capital contribution was 1,20,000 and 80,000 respectively. At the end of first year their profit was 1,20,000 before allowing the remuneration of 3,000 per quarter to Amit and 2000 per half year to Mahesh. Such a promising performance for first year was encouraging, therefore, they decided to expand the area of operations.
For this purpose, they needed a delivery van, a few Scotties and an additional person to support. Six months into the accounting year they decided to admit Sundram as a new partner and offered him 20% as a share of profits along with monthly remuneration of 2500. Sundram was asked to introduce 1,30,000 for capital and 70,000 for premium for goodwill. Besides this Sundram was required to provide 1,00,000 as loan for two years. Sundram readily accepted the offer. The terms of the offer were duly executed and he was admitted as a partner.
