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.
