Retirement of Partner Accounts MCQ

1. Partners X, Y and Z are sharing profit and Losses in the ratio 4:3:2. Y retires and goodwill is shown as Rs. 10,800 in books. If X and Z shares profit of 5:3, then gain in the profit sharing ratio is :

(a) 13:11

(b) 17:11

(d) 14:21

Gain in profit sharing ratio : X = 5/8 – 4/9 = 13/72, Z= 3/8 – 2/9= 11/72

So the gain in profit sharing ratio of is X: Z= 13:11. Hence option (a) is correct

2. Partners X, Y and Z are sharing profit and Losses in the ratio 4:3:2. Y retires and goodwill is shown as Rs. 10,800 in books. If X and Z shares profit of 5:3, then find the amount of goodwill to be shared between X & Z :

(a) Rs. 1,850 & Rs. 1,950

(b) Rs. 1,650 & Rs. 1,750

(d) None of the above

The gain in sharing ratio is X = 5/8 – 4/9= 13/72, Y = 3/8 – 2/9=11/72

Rs. 10,800 to be shared between X and Z in the ratio of 13:11

Share of X = 10,800 x 13/72 = 1950, Share of Z= 10800 x 11/72= 1650. So, option C is correct.

3. A, B and D are partners sharing profit and Losses in the ratio of 2:2:1. On retirement of B, goodwill was valued as Rs.30,000. Find the contribution of A and D respectively to compensate B.

(a) Rs.20,000 and Rs.10,000.

(b) Rs.8,000 and Rs.4,000.

(d) Rs 4000 & 6000

B’ s share of goodwill = 30,000 x 2/5= Rs.12,000. New ratio after retirement is = 2:1

So, Gaining share of A = 2/3 – 2/5 = 4/15, Gaining share Share of D=1/3 – 1/5 = 2/15

So, Gaining Ratio of share of A:D = 4/15:2/15= 2:1

A will compensate B = Rs.12,000 x 2/3 =Rs. 8,000, D will compensate B = Rs.12,000 x 1/3 =Rs. 4,000. Hence option (b) is correct

4. A, B and D were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2:2:1 respectively with the capital balance of Rs.50,000 for A and B, for D Rs.25,000. B retired from the firm and balance in reserve on the date was Rs.15,000. If goodwill of the firm was valued as Rs.30,000 and revaluation profit was Rs.7,050. What amount will be transferred to the loan account of B.

(a) Rs.70,820.

(b) Rs.50,820.

(d) Rs.58,820.

Capital = 50,000. Reserve (15,000 x 2/5)= 6,000, Revaluation profit = (7,050 x 2/5)= 2,820

Goodwill (30,000 x 2/5)= 12,000. Total Amount to be transferred to B= 50000+6000+2820+12000=70820. Hence option (a) is correct

5. How unrecorded assets are treated at the time of retirement of a partner?

Hence option (d) is correct
