Best answer

Answer: Revaluation loss ₹ 2,000 (Deepak ₹ 1,500, Abhishek ₹ 500); Deepak withdraws ₹ 25,500 and Abhishek ₹ 8,500; new Balance Sheet total ₹ 3,22,000. OR: P&L Adjustment loss ₹ 6,350; Arun’s loan ₹ 18,830; new Balance Sheet total ₹ 77,600.

Working notes

  • Furniture: 20% of ₹ 22,000 = ₹ 4,400 (decrease). R.D.D.: 5% of ₹ 64,000 = ₹ 3,200.
  • Stock: 10% of ₹ 40,000 = ₹ 4,000 (increase). Building: 5% of ₹ 32,000 = ₹ 1,600 (increase).
  • Goodwill ₹ 20,000 brought by Adinath: no new ratio is given, so Deepak and Abhishek share the remaining 4/5 in their old ratio 3 : 1 and the sacrifice ratio equals the old ratio 3 : 1. Deepak ₹ 15,000, Abhishek ₹ 5,000.
  • General Reserve ₹ 16,000 in 3 : 1: Deepak ₹ 12,000, Abhishek ₹ 4,000.
  • New ratio: Deepak 3/4 × 4/5 = 3/5, Abhishek 1/4 × 4/5 = 1/5, Adinath 1/5, i.e. 3 : 1 : 1.
  • Adinath’s capital ₹ 40,000 for 1/5 share, so total capital of the firm = ₹ 40,000 × 5 = ₹ 2,00,000. Deepak 3/5 = ₹ 1,20,000; Abhishek 1/5 = ₹ 40,000. Excess withdrawn in cash: Deepak ₹ 1,45,500 – ₹ 1,20,000 = ₹ 25,500; Abhishek ₹ 48,500 – ₹ 40,000 = ₹ 8,500.
  • Cash: ₹ 80,000 + ₹ 40,000 + ₹ 20,000 – ₹ 25,500 – ₹ 8,500 = ₹ 1,06,000.
