Admission of a New Partner and Goodwill Valuation¶
Scenario (Continuing from Previous Example)¶
- Ram and Krishna decide to admit Rahul as a new partner.
- Rahul contributes ₹50 Lakhs as capital.
- The partners agree to revalue the business using a goodwill valuation method.
- First-year profit: ₹50 Lakhs.
- Goodwill multiplier: 3.
Goodwill Valuation¶
- Goodwill Calculation: First-year profit (₹50 Lakhs) * Multiplier (3) = ₹150 Lakhs.
- Distribution of Goodwill:
- Ram (40%): ₹150 Lakhs * 40% = ₹60 Lakhs
- Krishna (60%): ₹150 Lakhs * 60% = ₹90 Lakhs
Accounting Entry for Goodwill¶
Calculating New Capital Balances¶
To determine the new profit-sharing ratio, we need to calculate the updated capital balances for each partner:
New Profit-Sharing Ratio¶
The new profit-sharing ratio is based on the updated capital balances:
- Ram: ₹100.32/300.8*100=33.35%
- Krishna: ₹150.48/300.8*100=50.03%
- Rahul: ₹50/300.8*100=16.62%
Future Profit Distribution¶
The profit or loss of the second year (and subsequent years) will be shared among them in the above ratio.
