If a new partner brings his share of goodwill in cash, and if the Goodwill Account already appears in the books of the firm, first of all, the existing Goodwill Account will have to be written off. For this purpose old Partner's Capital Accounts are debited in their old profit-sharing ratio and the Goodwill Account is credited.
Hence, the correct option is 1.

Question : A, B and S were partners sharing profits in the ratio 2: 2: 1. On July 1, 2017, Shreya died. The books of accounts are closed on March 31 every year. Sales for the year 2016-17 amounted to Rs.5,00,000 and that from 1st April to 30th June 2017 were Rs. 1,40,000. The rate of profit during the past three years had been 10% on sales.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
The Roman Empire covered a vast stretch of territory that included most of Europe as we know it today and a large part of the Fertile Crescent and North Africa.
The Roman Empire embraced a wealth of local cultures and languages; women had a stronger legal position then than they do in many countries today; but also that much of the economy was run on slave labour, denying freedom to substantial numbers of persons. From the fifth century onwards, the empire fell apart in the west but remained intact and exceptionally prosperous in its eastern half.
Roman historians have a rich collection of sources to go on, which we can broadly divide into three groups: (a) texts, (b) documents and (c) material remains. Textual sources include letters, speeches, sermons, laws, and histories of the period written by contemporaries. These were usually called ‘Annals’ because the narrative was constructed on a year-by-year basis. Documentary sources include mainly inscriptions and papyri. Inscriptions were usually cut on stone, so a large number survived, in both Greek and Latin. The ‘papyrus’ was a reed-like plant that grew along the banks of the Nile in Egypt and was processed to produce sheets of writing material that was very widely used in everyday life. Thousands of contracts, accounts, letters, and official documents survive ‘on papyrus’ and have been published by scholars who are called ‘papyrologists’. Material remains include a very wide assortment of items that mainly archaeologists discover (for example, through excavation and field surveys), for example, buildings, monuments and other kinds of structures, pottery, coins, mosaics, and even entire landscapes. Each of these sources can only tell us just so much about the past, and combining them can be a fruitful exercise, but how well this is done depends on the historian’s skill!
Question:
Which of these are NOT material remains?
Option 1: Mosaics
Option 2: Coins
Option 3: Monuments
Option 4: Annals
Correct Answer: Annals
Solution : The fourth option is correct.
- Let's have a look at the second-last sentence from the given paragraph:
- "Material remains include a very wide assortment of items that mainly archaeologists discover (for example, through excavation and field survey), for example, buildings, monuments, and other kinds of structures, pottery, coins, mosaics, and even entire landscapes."
- Upon perusal of the above statement, it can be concluded that annals were not included in the material remains.
Hence, the correct answer is annals.

Question : A, B, C and D are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 1:4:3:2. D died on 15th December 2021 and the goodwill is valued at Rs.2,00,000. D's share of goodwill is to be adjusted into the capital accounts of A, B and C who decide to share future profits in the ratio of 4:3:3. Choose the correct journal entry.
Option 1: A debited by Rs 60,000 and debited B by Rs 20,000 and credited D by Rs 80,000
Option 2: Debited A by Rs 60,000 and credited B by Rs 20,000 and credited D by Rs 40,000
Option 3: Debited A by Rs 40,000 and B debited by Rs 40,000 and Credited D by Rs 80,000
Option 4: None of the above
Correct Answer: Debited A by Rs 60,000 and credited B by Rs 20,000 and credited D by Rs 40,000
Solution : Answer = Debited A by Rs 60,000 and credited B by Rs 20,000 and credited D by Rs 40,000
G ratio = New ratio - Old Ratio
A = 4/10 - 1/10 = 3/10
B = 3/10 - 4/10 = -1/10
C = 3/10 - 3/10 = zero
D = 2/10
Total Goodwill = 2,00,000
D's Share = 2,00,000 * 2/10 = 40,000 E
(2,00,000 * 3/10) A's Capital A/C Dr 60,000
(2,00,000* 1/10) To B's Capital A/C 20,000
To D's Capital A/C 40,000
Hence, the correct option is 2.
Question : Comprehension:
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
India's favourable demographic trends, which have increased the workforce's percentage of the overall population, have paved the way for a significant middle-class expansion. A big population bulge emerging from absolute poverty and set to reach the middle class would generate new dynamics. In India, over 55 percent of the population is predicted to reach the middle class. In reality, because India's demographics are significantly younger than China and the United States, the country's middle class might be the world's largest (in terms of population) by 2025.
It is no exaggeration to argue that future growth will be reliant on the increasing middle class and that the middle class's development will be reliant on growth. Growth has been fuelled by both private consumption and saving, both of which are fuelled by the middle class. India's private consumption accounts for over 60% of the country's GDP, while private consumption growth has contributed to 70% of the country's growth since 2000.
Even though China's middle class is now greater than India's, private spending in the former accounts for a lesser share of growth. In contrast to the United States, where domestic savings are dropping and the country borrows excess funds from outside to invest and expand, India's domestic savings and investments are increasing and funding investments. The emergence of the middle class is anticipated to coincide with a transition away from large-scale informality, which now characterises much of the services and industrial sectors, and toward more formal, wage-earning, and medium-scale firms. Technological advancements will spread at a faster rate. Cities will expand as the necessities concentrate on them. If there is enough movement across states and from rural to urban regions, the population increase will be more evenly distributed.
Question:
Which of the following options has contributed to the expansion of the middle class?
Option 1: Evenly distributed economic opportunities
Option 2: Increased private consumption
Option 3: Increased workforce percentage
Option 4: Increased foreign investment
Correct Answer: Increased workforce percentage
Solution : The correct option is the third option.
The passage states that India's favourable demographic trends have increased the workforce's percentage of the overall population, which, in turn, has paved the way for a significant middle-class expansion.
The population bulge emerging from absolute poverty and moving into the middle class is seen as a factor generating new dynamics.
Therefore, the increased workforce percentage is a key factor contributing to the growth of the middle class in India.
