Working Notes:
1. Workmen Compensation Reserve appears in the Balance Sheet as RS.5,600, whereas the Workmen Compensation Clain is RS. 3,000. Therefore, surplus of RS.2,600 is transferred to the Capital Accounts of the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.
2. Provision for Doubtful appearing in the Balance Sheet is RS.4,000, whereas actual bad debts amounted to RS.6,000. Therefore, RS.2,000 will be debited to the Revaluation Account as loss.
3. Goodwill `=(RS.20,000xx3//2)-RS.12,000=RS.30,000-RS.12,000=RS.18,000` C's share of Goodwill `=RS.18,000xx1//6=RS.3,000`. He has not brought his share of goodwill in cash.
Average Profit `=(RS.10,000+RS.20,000+RS.30,000)/(3)=RS.20,000`.
4. Sacrifice of Share =Old Share -New Share
A's Sacrifice `=1//2-3//6=0,` B's Sacrifice `=1//2-2//6=1//6,` Hence, B alone has sacrificed.
5. There will be no entry for the promise made by Shikha, it is an event and not a transation. However, there is another view that promise to pay should be recognised as gain (i.e., Bad Debts Recovered), in this situation following ertry will be passed:
`{:("Sundry Debtors A/c",...Dr.,RS."2,500",),("To Revaluation A/c",,,RS."2,500"):}`
