SHORT ANSWERS:TYPE QUESTIONS

Question. From the following particulars, calculate new profit-sharing ratio of the partners:
(a) Shiv, Mohan and Hari were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:5:4. Mohan retired and his share was divided equally between Shiv and Hari.
(b) P, Q and R were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5: 4 : 1. P retires from the firm.
Answer. 
a) Old Ratio (Shiv, Mohan and Hari) = 5 : 5 : 4
Mohan’s Profit Share = 5/14
His share is divided between Shiv and Hari equally i.e. in the ratio of 1: 1
Share of Mohan taken by Shiv : 5/14 x ½ = 5/28
Share of Mohan taken by Hari : 5/14 x ½ =5/28
New Profit Share = Old Profit Share + Share taken from Mohan
Shivs new share = 5/14 + 5/28 = 15/28
Hari’s new share = 4/14 + 5/28 = 13/28
∴ New Profit Sharing Ratio (Shiv and Hari) = 15: 13
(b) Old Ratio (P, Q and R) = 5 : 4 : 1
P’s Profit Share = 5/10
Since, no information is given as to how Q and R are acquiring P's profit share after his retirement, so the new profit sharing ratio between Q and R becomes 4 : 1
∴New Profit Ratio (Q and R) = 4 : 1

Question. Kumar, Lakshya, Manoj and Naresh are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3: 2: 1: 4. Kumar retires and his share is acquired by Lakshya and Manoj in the ratio of 3: 2. Calculate new profit-sharing ratio of the remaining partners. 
Answer. Kumar's share =3/10(acquired by Lakshya and Manoj in 3:2)
Share acquired by Lakshya=3/10×3/5=9/50 Share acquired by Manoj=3/10×2/5=6/50
Lakshya's New Share=2/10+9/50=19/50 Manoj's New Share=1/10+6/50=11/50
Naresh's share (as retained)=4/10 or 20/50 New Profit Sharing Ratio=19:11:20
