Answer (2)
To address this problem, we need to prepare the Revaluation Account, the Partners' Capital Accounts, and the Balance Sheet of the new firm. Below is a step-by-step explanation and preparation of these financial statements:
Step 1: Revaluation Account
This account reflects the changes in the value of assets and liabilities due to revaluation. Here's how we will calculate the profit from revaluation:
Increase in Stock:
Stock is increased by 10% of ₹25,000 = ₹2,500.
Increase in Provision for Doubtful Debts:
Provision is increased from ₹1,500 to ₹2,500, resulting in a deduction of ₹1,000.
Revaluation Profit Calculation:
Profit from Revaluation = (Increase in Stock) - (Increase in Provision for Doubtful Debts)
Profit from Revaluation = ₹2,500 - ₹1,000 = ₹1,500.
Step 2: Partners' Capital Accounts
Prepare the Partners' Capital Account to adjust for goodwill, Akash's capital, and the changes in their amounts.
Initial Adjustments:
General Reserve Allocation:
Bhanu: 2/3 of ₹6,000 = ₹4,000
Bhoomi: 1/3 of ₹6,000 = ₹2,000
Revaluation Profit:
Bhanu: 2/3 of ₹1,500 = ₹1,000
Bhoomi: 1/3 of ₹1,500 = ₹500
Goodwill Adjustment:
Since the sacrifice ratio is Bhanu 1: Bhoomi 0, Bhanu will compensate Bhoomi for goodwill.
Final Capital Adjustments in New Ratio (3:2:1):
Total Adjusted Capital in Ratio:
Bhanu = ₹75,000
Bhoomi = ₹50,000
Akash = ₹25,000
Step 3: Balance Sheet of the New Firm
Now, prepare the Balance Sheet reflecting changes:
Assets:
Cash in Hand: Initially ₹37,000 + Akash's Capital ₹29,000 + Adjustments
Updated Stock: ₹25,000 + ₹2,500 = ₹27,500
Debtors (after Provision): ₹17,000 - ₹2,500 = ₹14,500
Buildings: ₹40,000
Furniture: ₹14,500
Plant & Machinery: ₹18,000
Liabilities:
Creditors: ₹20,000
Bills Payable: ₹4,000
Capital: As Adjusted above for Bhanu, Bhoomi, and Akash
Total Assets and Liabilities:
Should match the new Balance Sheet total of ₹1,74,000.
These steps provide a thorough approach to solving the problem using the financial adjustment concepts within a partnership at admission of a new partner.
We prepared the Revaluation Account showing a revaluation profit of ₹1,500, adjusted the Partners' Capital Accounts to reflect new capital balances: Bhanu at ₹75,000, Bhoomi at ₹50,000, and Akash at ₹29,000. Finally, we compiled a Balance Sheet of the new firm totaling ₹1,74,000, confirming all adjustments were correctly applied.
