To Profit — Veena 6,000; Pearl 3,0009,000

Working – Goodwill: Deri's share of goodwill = 30,000 × 2/10 = ₹6,000. Sacrificing ratio = Old − New: Veena 2/3 − 5/10 = 5/30; Pearl 1/3 − 3/10 = 1/30 ⇒ 5:1. Premium ₹6,000 → Veena ₹5,000, Pearl ₹1,000, then withdrawn in cash.

Working – WCF: 10,000 − claim 1,000 = ₹9,000 surplus to old partners 2:1 (Veena 6,000, Pearl 3,000); claim ₹1,000 kept as liability.

Working – General Reserve ₹30,000 to old partners 2:1 (Veena 20,000, Pearl 10,000).
