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

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.
