The goodwill of the firm is Rs 41250 worked out as under:
`{:("Profits":,),(Year 2011,15000),(Year 2012,20000),(Year 2013,14000),(Year 2014,17000),(,ulbar(66000)):}`
Average Profits `= Rs (66,000)/(4) = Rs = 16,500`
Goodwill at `2½` years purchase = Rs. `16,500 xx (5)/(2) = Rs. 41,250`
B's share of goodwill `= Rs. 41,250 xx (4)/(15) = Rs. 11,000`.




The new proft sharing ratio will be:
`W = (1-(4)/(15)) xx (3)/(5) = (11)/(15) xx (3)/(5) = (33)/(75)`
`R = (1-(4)/(5)) xx (2)/(5) = (11)/(15) xx (2)/(5) = (22)/(75)`
`B = (4)/(15) = (20)/(75)`
The new's ratio is 33: 22: 20.
