AP Inter 2nd Year Accountancy Study Material 7th Lesson Retirement / Death of a Partner
Very Short Answer Questions
Question 1.
What is meant by the retirement of a partner?
Answer:
A partner who opts to retire from an existing partnership firm is called ‘Retirement of a partner.
Question 2.
What do you understand by a Gaining ratio?
Answer:
The ratio in which the share of the retiring partner is taken over by other partners is called the ‘Gaining ratio’. To calculate the new profit sharing ratio, the share of profit of the retiring partner taken over by each continuing partner is added to his respective share of profit before the retirement of the outgoing partner.
Gaining ratio = New ratio – Old ratio
Question 3.
What are the adjustments required for the retirement or death of a partner?
Answer:
On the retirement or death of a partner, the existing partnership deed comes to an end and in its place, a new partnership deed needs to be framed whereby the remaining partners continue to do their business on changed terms and conditions. There is not much difference in accounting at the time of retirement or in the event of death. In both cases, we are required to determine the amount due to the retiring partner (in case of retirement) and to the legal representatives (in case of deceased partner) after making necessary adjustments in respect of goodwill, revaluation of assets and liabilities, and transfer of accumulated profits and losses. In addition to the above, the new profit-sharing ratio of the remaining partners and the gaining ratio is to be computed.
Question 4.
How is the account of the deceased partner settled?
Answer:
The deceased partner’s capital account is credited with the balance of capital at the beginning of the year, interest on capital, the share of profit on revaluation of assets and liabilities, the share of undistributed profits, the share of profit to the date of death, and his share of goodwill. The account is debited with drawings to the date of death, interest on drawings, and the balance is transferred to the executor’s account of the deceased partner.
Question 5.
Explain the modes of payment to the retiring partner.
Answer:
The outgoing partner’s account is settled as per the terms of the partnership deed i.e., in lumpsum immediately or in various installments with or without interest. In the absence of any agreement section 37 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 is applicable, which states that the outgoing partner has an option to receive either 6% interest till the date of payment or such share of profits that have been earned with his money (based on capital ratio). If the firm is not in a position to make payment immediately, the amount due is transferred to the retiring partner’s loan account.
Textual Exercises
Question 1.
Madhu, Nehra, and Tina are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio if
1. Madhu retires
2. Nehra retires
3. Tina retires
Solution:
1. New profit sharing ratio, if Madhu retires 3 : 2.
2. New profit sharing ratio, if Nehra retires 5 : 2.
3. New profit sharing ratio, if Tina retires 5 : 3.
Question 2.
Hari, Prasad, and Anwar are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. Hari retires and his share is taken up by Prasad and Anwar in the ratio of 3 : 2. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio.
Solution:
Old ratio of Hari, Prasad, Anwar = 3 : 2 : 1
Gaining ratio on the retirement of Hari = 3 : 2
New share of continuing partner = Old share + Acquired share from retiring partner
Prasad gets \(\frac{3}{5}\) of Hari share = \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{6}=\frac{9}{30}\)
New share = \(\frac{2}{6}+\frac{9}{30}=\frac{10+9}{30}=\frac{19}{30}\)
Anwar gets \(\frac{2}{5}\) of Hari share = \(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{6}=\frac{6}{30}\)
New share = \(\frac{1}{6}+\frac{6}{30}=\frac{5+6}{30}=\frac{11}{30}\)
∴ New profit sharing ratio = 19 : 11.
Question 3.
Ranjana, Sadhna, and Kamana are partners sharing profits in the ratio 4 : 3 : 2. Ranjana retires, and Sadhna and Kamana decided to share future profits in the ratio of 5 : 3. Calculate the Gaining Ratio.
Solution:
Old profit sharing ratio = 4 : 3 : 2
New ratio = 5 : 3
Sadhna gaining ratio = New ratio – Old ratio
= \(\frac{5}{8}-\frac{3}{9}=\frac{45-24}{72}=\frac{21}{72}\)
Kamana gaining ratio = \(\frac{3}{8}-\frac{2}{9}=\frac{27-16}{72}=\frac{11}{72}\)
Gaining ratio = 21 : 11
Question 4.
Murali, Naveen, and Omprakash are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 4 : 1. Murali retires and surrenders 2/3rd of his share in favour of Naveen and the remaining share in favour of Omprakash. Calculate new profit sharing and the gaining ratio of the remaining partners.
Solution:
Naveen gets \(\frac{2}{3}\) of Murali share = \(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{8}=\frac{6}{24}\)
Omprakash gets \(\frac{1}{3}\) of Murali share = \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{8}=\frac{3}{24}\)
Naveen new share = \(\frac{4}{8}+\frac{6}{24}=\frac{12+6}{24}=\frac{18}{24}\)
Omprakash new share = \(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{24}=\frac{3+3}{24}=\frac{6}{24}\)
New gaining ratio = 18 : 6 = 3 : 1
Gaining ratio = New ratio – Old ratio
Naveen = \(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{4}{8}=\frac{6-4}{8}=\frac{2}{8}\)
Omprakash = \(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{2-1}{8}=\frac{1}{8}\)
Gaining ratio = 2 : 1
Question 5.

Krishna and Reddy decided to share future profits equally. Record the necessary journal entry for the treatment of goodwill without opening a’ Goodwill Account’.
Solution:
Old ratio = 2 : 2 : 1
New ratio =1 : 1
Krishna gaining ratio = New ratio – Old ratio
= \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{5} \text { (or) } \frac{5}{10}-\frac{4}{10}=\frac{1}{10}\)
Reddy’s gaining ratio = \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{10}-\frac{2}{10}=\frac{3}{10}\) = 1 : 3

Working Notes:
(i) Interest on capital = 20,000 × \(\frac{5}{100} \times \frac{3}{12}\) = ₹ 250
(ii) Goodwill:
3 years profits = 12,000 + 16,000 + 14,000 = ₹ 42,000
Average profits = \(\frac{42,000}{3}\) = ₹ 14,000
Goodwill = 2 × 14,000 = ₹ 28,000
Share of goodwill = 28,000 × \(\frac{2}{7}\) = ₹ 8,000
Share of profit:
Profit of 2014 = 14,000 × \(\frac{2}{7} \times \frac{3}{12}\) = ₹ 1,000

Textual Examples
Question 1.
Naveen, Suresh, and Tarun are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. Tarun retires from the firm, and his share was acquired by Naveen and Tarun in the ratio of 2 : 1. In such a case, calculate the new profit sharing ratio.
Solution:
The old ratio of Naveen, Suresh, and Tarun = 5 : 3 : 2
Gaining ratio of Naveen and Suresh after the retirement of Tarun = 2 : 1
New share of continuing partner = Old share + Acquired share from the outgoing partner
Share acquired by Naveen = \(\frac{2}{10} \times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{30}\)
Naveen’s new share = \(\frac{5}{10}+\frac{4}{30}=\frac{15+4}{30}=\frac{19}{30}\)
Share acquired by Suresh = \(\frac{2}{10} \times \frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{30}\)
Suresh’s new share = \(\frac{3}{10}+\frac{2}{30}=\frac{9+2}{30}=\frac{11}{30}\)
New ratio = \(\frac{19}{30}: \frac{11}{30}\)
Thus, the new profit sharing ratio of Naveen and Suresh will be = 19 : 11.
Question 2.
Anil, Dinesh, and Ganga are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 6 : 5 : 4. Dinesh retires. Anil and Ganga decide to share the profits of the new firm in the ratio of 3 : 2. Calculate the gaining ratio.
Solution:
The old ratio of all partners = 6 : 5 : 4
New ratio of continuing partners = 3 : 2
Gaining share of continuing partners = New share – Old share
Ami’s gaining share = \(\frac{3}{5}-\frac{6}{15}=\frac{9-6}{15}=\frac{3}{15}\)
Ganga’s gaining share = \(\frac{2}{5}-\frac{4}{15}=\frac{6-4}{15}=\frac{2}{15}\)
Gaining ratio = \(\frac{3}{15}: \frac{2}{15}\)
Thus, the gaining ratio of Anil and Ganga = 3 : 2
Question 3.
M, I, and G are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2 : 2 : 1 respectively. On March 31, 2015, their Balance Sheet was as under:

(a) If goodwill is raised at full value and retained in books.
(b) If goodwill is raised at full value and written off immediately.
(c) If goodwill is raised to the extent of retiring partner’s share and written off immediately.
(d) If goodwill is not after in the firm’s books at all.
Solution:
(a) If goodwill is raised at full value and retained in books.
(b) If goodwill is raised at full value and written off immediately.
(c) If goodwill is raised to the extent of retiring partner’s share and written off immediately.
(d) If goodwill is not after in the firm’s book at all.
Working Notes:
Calculation of gaining ratio:
Old ratio of all partners = 3 : 2 : 1
New ratio of continuing ratio = 3 : 1
Gaining share of continuing partners = New share – Old share
A’s gaining share = \(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{6}=\frac{9-6}{12}=\frac{3}{12}\)
C’s gaining share = \(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{3-2}{12}=\frac{1}{12}\)
Gaining ratio = \(\frac{3}{12}: \frac{1}{12}\)
Thus, the gaining ratio of A and C = 3 : 1
Question 5.

The capital accounts of Sundarand Rao show a credit balance of ₹ 82,000 and ₹ 41,000 respectively after making all the adjustments. Calculate the actual cash to be paid off or to be brought in by the continuing partners and pass the necessary journal entries.
Solution:
The new profit sharing ratio between Sundar and Rao = 2 : 1
Total capital of the firm = ₹ 1,20,000
New capital based on new ratio of Sundar = 1,20,000 × \(\frac{2}{3}\) = ₹ 80,000
Existing capital (after adjustments) = ₹ 82,000
Cash to be paid off = ₹ 2,000
New capital based on new ratio of Rao = 1,20,000 × \(\frac{1}{3}\) = ₹ 40,000
Existing capital (after adjustments) = ₹ 41,000
Cash to be paid off = ₹ 1,000

(d) Interest on capital provided at 10% p.a.
(e) Half of the amount due to Anil is to be paid immediately.
Prepare Anil’s capital account and Anil’s executor’s account as on October 1, 2014.
Solution:
Working Notes:
1. Goodwill = Average Profit × 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) year’s purchase
Average profit for 4 years = ₹ 60,000 ÷ 4 = ₹ 15,000
Goodwill = 15,000 × \(\frac{5}{2}\) = ₹ 37,500
Anil’s share of goodwill = 37,500 × \(\frac{5}{10}\) = ₹ 18,750
This goodwill amount will adjust with 3 : 2 ratio between Bhanu and Chandu.
2. Profit from the date of last balance sheet to date of death (April 1, 2014, to October 1, 2014) = 6 months.
Profit for 6 months = ₹ 15,000 × \(\frac{6}{12}\) = ₹ 7,500
Anil’s share of profit = ₹ 7,500 × \(\frac{5}{10}\) = ₹ 3,750
3. Interest on Anil’s capital (April 1, 2014 to October 1, 2014) = ₹ 30,000 × \(\frac{10}{100} \times \frac{6}{12}\) = ₹ 1,500

(b) Share of goodwill valued on the basis of thrice the average of the past 4 years’ profits.
(c) Share in profits up to the date of death on the basis of average profits for the past 4 years.
(d) Interest on capital account @ 12% p.a.
Profits for the year ending on March 31 of 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 were ₹ 15,000, ₹ 17,000, ₹ 19,000 and ₹ 13,000 respectively.
Mobit and Rahul continued as partners by taking over Sohan’s share equally. Work out the amount payable to Sohan’s legal representatives.
Solution:
Working Notes:
1. Goodwill = Average Profit × 3 year’s purchase
Average profit for 4 years = ₹ 64,000 ÷ 4 = ₹ 16,000
Goodwill = ₹ 16,000 × 3 = ₹ 48,000
Sohan’ share of goodwill = 48,000 × \(\frac{2}{5}\) = ₹ 19,200
2. Profit from the date of last balance sheet to date of death (April 1, 2014, to June 15, 2014) = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) months.
Profit for 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) months = ₹ 16,000 × \(\frac{2.5}{12}\) = ₹ 3,333
Sohan’s share of profit = ₹ 3,333 × \(\frac{2}{5}\) = ₹ 1,333
3. Interest on Sohan’s capital (April 1, 2014) to June 15, 2014) = ₹ 25,000 × \(\frac{12}{100} \times \frac{2.5}{12}\) = ₹ 625
