Correct Answer: IV,III,I,II
Solution : Answer = IV, III, I, II
The correct sequence of steps in the context of the retirement of a partner, when the total capital of the new firm equals the aggregate of adjusted capitals of remaining partners, is as follows:
IV. Calculate the Adjusted Capitals of the remaining partners after adjustments.
III. Calculate the Total Capital of the new firm.
I. Calculate the New Capital of remaining partners by dividing Total Capital of the new firm in their New Profit-sharing Ratio.
II. Find the Surplus Capital/Deficit Capital of each continuing partner by comparing the New Capital with the Capital after Adjustments.
This sequence ensures that the retirement process is carried out systematically and accurately, considering the adjustments needed for the remaining partners.
