Change in Profit Sharing Ratio MCQ – Answers and Explanations

Explanation 1:-

D s new share = 1/4
E s new share = 2/4 – 1/5 = (10-4)/20 = 6/20
F s new share = 1/4 + 1/5 = (5+4)/20 = 9/20
New profit sharing ratio among partners = 1/4 : 6/20 : 9/20
= (5:6:9)/6
= 5 : 6 : 9

Answer – [A] 5 : 6 : 9

Change in Profit Sharing Ratio MCQ – Explanation 2:-

G will take = 1/2 of 1/7 = 1/14 from E
G will take = 1/2 of 1/7 = 1/14 from F
E’s new share = 2/7 – 1/14 = (4-1)/14 = 3/14
F’s new share = 3/7 – 1/14 = (6-1)/14 = 5/14
G’s new share = 2/7 + 1/7 = (2+1)/7 = 3/7
New profit sharing ratio among partners = 3/14 : 5/14 : 3/7
= (3 : 5: 6)/14
= 3 : 5 : 6

Answer – [A] 3 : 5 : 6

Explanation 3:-

D sacrifices 1/5 of 1/4 = 1/20
E sacrifices 1/4 of 2/4 = 2/16
now F’s share in profit of the firm = 1/4+ 1/20 + 2/16
= (20+4+10)/80
= 34/80
D’s remaining portion of share = 1/4 – 1/20 = (5-1)/20 = 4/20
E’s remaining portion of share = 2/4 – 2/16 = (8-2)/16 = 6/16
New profit sharing between partners = 4/20 : 6/16 : 34/80
= (16:30:34)/80
= 16 : 30 : 34

Answer – [B] 16 : 30 : 34





Change in Profit Sharing Ratio MCQ – Explanation 4:-

G sacrifices 1/3 of 3/5 = 3/15
H sacrifices 1/2 of 1/5 = 1/10
now I s share in profit of the firm = 1/5 + 3/15 + 1/10
= (6+6+3)/30
= 15/30
G’s remaining portion of share = 3/5 – 3/15 = (9-3)/15 = 6/15
H’s remaining portion of share =1/5 – 1/10 = (2-1)/10 = 1/10
New profit sharing between partners = 6/15 : 1/10 : 15/30
= (12 : 3 : 15)/30
= 12 : 3 : 15
Sacrificing ratio = Old ratio – New ratio
G = 3/5 – 12/30
= (18-12)/30
= 6/30
H = 1/5 – 3/30
= (6-3)/30
= 3/30
6 : 3

Answer – [A] 6 : 3

Change in Profit Sharing Ratio MCQ – Explanation 5:-

New profit sharing ratio = 1 : 1 : 1
Sacrificing ratio = Old share – New share
D sacrifice/Gain = 3/8 – 1/3 = (9-8)/24 = 1/24
E sacrifice/Gain = 3/8 – 1/3 = (9-8/24) = 1/24
F sacrifice/Gain =2/8 – 1/3 = (6-8)/24 = -2/24
Share of goodwill :
D = 240000 x 1/24 = 10000 (Cr)
E = 240000 x 1/24 = 10000 (Cr)
F = 240000 x (-2/24) = -20000 (Dr)

Answer – (B)F ‘s Capital Account Dr 20000
To D ‘s Capital Account 10000
To E ‘s Capital Account 10000

Explanation 6:-

Net effect of revaluation:
Profit/Loss
Freehold premises = 250000
Stock = -50000
Debtors = -7500
Furniture = -20000
Creditors = -15000
= 157500
Profit on Revaluation 157500
Old profit sharing ratio = 1 : 1 : 1
New profit sharing ratio = 3 : 1 : 1
Sacrificing ratio = Old share – New share
A sacrifice/Gain = 1/3 – 3/5 = (5-9)/15 = -4/15
D sacrifice/Gain = 1/3 – 1/5 = (5-3)/15 = 2/15
K sacrifice/Gain = 1/3 – 1/5 = (5-3)/15 = 2/15
Proportionate amount gained by A = 157500 x (-4/15) = -42000 (Dr)
Proportionate amount sacrificed by D = 157500 x 2/15 = 21000 (Cr)
Proportionate amount sacrificed by K = 157500 x 2/15 = 21000 (Cr)

Answer (B)   A s capital A/c Dr 42000
To D s capital A/c 21000
To K s capital A/c 21000

Change in Profit Sharing Ratio MCQ – Explanation 7:-




Calculation of net effect of reserves and accumulated profits/losses
General reserve = 100000 Rs.
(+) Profit and loss A/c(cr) = 90000 Rs.
(-) Advertisement Suspense(Dr) = -10000 Rs.
Net effect = 180000 Rs.
Calculation of sacrificing/gaining share of partners:
Sacrificing ratio = Old share – New share
A = 3/9 – 4/9 = (3-4)/9 = -1/9
D = 2/9 – 2/9 = (2-2)/9 = 0
K = 4/9 – 3/9 = (4-3)/9 = 1/9
Proportionate share of gaining partner A = 180000 x -1/9 = -20000 (Dr)
Proportionate share of sacrificing partner K = 180000 x 1/9 = 20000 (Cr)
Answer (c)A s capital A/c Dr 20000
To K s capital A/c 20000

Change in Profit Sharing Ratio MCQ – Explanation 8:-

Calculation of net effect of reserves and accumulated profits/losses
Profit and loss A/c(cr) = 72000 Rs.
Less: Advertisement Suspense(Dr) = 18000 Rs.
Net effect = 54000 Rs.
Calculation of sacrificing/gaining share of partners
Sacrificing ratio = Old share – New share
P = 4/9 – 2/9 = (4-2)/9 = 2/9
Q = 3/9 – 3/9 = (3-3)/9 = 0
R = 2/9 – 4/9 = (2-4)/9 = -2/9
Proportionate share of gaining partner R = 54000 x -2/9 = -12000 (Dr)
Proportionate share of sacrificing partner P = 54000 x 2/9 = 12000 (Cr)

Answer (C) – R s capital A/c Dr 12000
To P s capital A/c 12000
