Revaluation losses (stock 600, plant 5,000, R.D.D. 800, outstanding rent 1,600 = ₹ 8,000) are shared 2 : 2 : 1. Sam's goodwill share ₹ 18,000 is credited to him and debited to Mac and Paul (gaining ratio 1 : 1, ₹ 9,000 each) so goodwill does not appear in the books. Sam's balance ₹ 32,400 goes to his Loan Account; Mac ₹ 19,800 and Paul ₹ 5,800 remain; the Balance Sheet of Mac and Paul ties at ₹ 81,600.

Working notes:

  • Old ratio Mac : Paul : Sam = 2 : 2 : 1. Sam retires; Mac and Paul continue in their old mutual ratio 2 : 2 = 1 : 1. Gaining ratio = 1 : 1.
  • Depreciation: Stock 10,000 x 6% = 600; Plant and machinery 50,000 x 10% = 5,000.
  • R.D.D. = 16,000 x 5% = 800; Outstanding rent = 1,600.
  • Sam's share of goodwill = ₹ 18,000 credited to Sam and debited to gaining partners Mac and Paul in 1 : 1, i.e. ₹ 9,000 each (goodwill is not shown in the books).
