Question. A, B and C were partners in a firm. C died on 28th Feb 2014. His share of profit from the closure of the last accounting year till the date of death was to be calculated on the basis of the average profit of three complete years before death, profit for 2011, 2012 and 2013 were Rs. \(1400\) and Rs. \(1600\) and Rs. \(1800\) respectively. Calculate C’s share of profit till his death.
Answer: Average profit = \( \frac{14,000 + 16,000 + 18,000}{3} = \frac{48,000}{3} = 16,000 \)
Estimate profit till the date of death = \( 16,000 \times \frac{2}{12} = 2,666.66 \)
C’s share of estimated profit = \( 2,666.66 \times \frac{1}{3} = 888.8 \)

Question. If profit till the date of death are to be ascertained A B and C sharing profit in the ratio of \(2:2:1\). B died on 31st March 2014, Accounting are closing on December. Sales for the year 2013 amounted to Rs. \(9,00,000\), sales of Rs. \(3,00,000\) amounted between the period from 1 Jan 2014 to 31 March 2014. The profit for the year 2013 amounted to Rs. \(90,000\). Calculate deceased partner’s share in the Profit of the firm.
Answer: percentage of profit to sale for the year 2013 = \( \frac{90,000}{9,00,000} \times 100 = 10\% \)
Profit up to death = \( 10\% \text{ of } 3,00,000 = \text{Rs. } 30,000 \)
B’s share = \( 30,000 \times \frac{2}{5} = 12,000 \)
Or
\( \frac{90,000}{9,00,000} \times 3,00,000 = 30,000 \)
