Working Notes:
1. "All debtors were considered good" means Provision for Bad Debts is no longer required and hence should be credited to Revaluation Account.
2. Calculation of Partnres' Capital on the basis of Vaishali's Capital: Since, Vaishali bring in RS.20,000 as her Capital for 1/4th share in profits.

Harsha's Capital in New Firm would be `=RS.80,000xx(3)/(4)xx(2)/(5)=RS.24,000`.
