To Profit — Vijaya 3,000; Kavitha 3,000; Roseline 2,0008,000

Working – General Reserve ₹8,000 in 3:3:2 → Vijaya 3,000, Kavitha 3,000, Roseline 2,000.

Working – Goodwill: Roseline's share = 24,000 × 2/8 = ₹6,000, borne by Vijaya & Kavitha in gaining ratio 1:1 (₹3,000 each).

Working – Share of profit to death: Average profit (2015-17) = (66,000+60,000+66,000)/3 = ₹64,000; Roseline's share for 3 months = 64,000 × 3/12 × 2/8 = ₹4,000 (debited to P&L Suspense A/c).
