Explanation

Note: There will be no entry for the promise made by Mohan, since it is an event and not a transaction.
There is another view, RS.3,000 is to be considered as Bad Debts Recoverd. In this situation result will be as follows:
Gain (Profit) on Revaluation-RS.36,000, Capital A/cs, A-RS.1,66,000 B-RS.1.42,000, C-RS.1,16,000, D's Capital-RS.1,20,000, Balance Sheet Total-RS.5,72,000.

`{:("C's Capital A/c",...Dr.,"RS,10,000",),("Premium for Goodwill A/c",...Dr.,"RS.30,000",),("To A's Capital A/c",,,"RS.30,000"),("To B's Capital A/c",,,"RS.10,000"):}`
