Correct Answer: None of the above


Solution : Answer = None of the above

Total Profit of Lost of 3 years
= 55000 + 48000+65000
= 1,68,000
Average Profit = 1,68000/3 = 50000
Goodwill = 56000 × 2 = 1,12000
A's Share = 1,12000 × 2/4 = 56000
B's Capital A/c Dr. 28000
C's Capital A/c Dr. 28000
To A'c Capital A/c 56000
(G.Ratio = 1:1)

A's Capital A/c

To A's Loan 30,000 By Bal. b/d 1,00,000
To A's Executor’s A/c 1,58,500 By B's Capital A/c 28,500
By C's Capital A/c 28,000
By Profit and Loss App. A/c 32,500
1,88,500 (65000 × 2/4) 1,88,500

Hence, the correct option is 4.
