OR (Retirement of Dinesh)

Answer: Revaluation profit ₹ 8,200; amount due to Dinesh ₹ 66,440 (transferred to loan); new Balance Sheet total ₹ 1,89,000.

Working notes

  • Stock: ₹ 38,000 – ₹ 30,400 = ₹ 7,600 increase. Building: 10% of ₹ 50,000 = ₹ 5,000 increase. Plant and Machinery: 10% of ₹ 42,000 = ₹ 4,200 decrease. R.D.D.: ₹ 1,000 – ₹ 800 = ₹ 200 increase (loss).
  • Dinesh's share of goodwill is ₹ 18,000, so goodwill of the firm = ₹ 18,000 × 10/2 = ₹ 90,000. It is raised in the old ratio 5 : 2 : 3 (Ramesh ₹ 45,000, Dinesh ₹ 18,000, Mahesh ₹ 27,000) and written off in the new ratio 5 : 3 (Ramesh ₹ 56,250, Mahesh ₹ 33,750). Net effect: Ramesh and Mahesh are charged ₹ 11,250 and ₹ 6,750, Dinesh is credited ₹ 18,000.
  • General Reserve ₹ 24,000 in 5 : 2 : 3 = ₹ 12,000, ₹ 4,800, ₹ 7,200.
