Total profits = 50000+55000+75000
= 1,80,000 Average profit = 1,80000/3 = 60,000 Mormal profit = 45000 Super profit = AP - NP
= 60,000 - 45000 = 15000
Goodwill = 15000 * 1.5 = 22500 P's Capital = 22500 * 4/9 = 10000 E B's Capital A/C Dr. 4000 K's Capital A/C Dr. 6000 To P's Capital A/C = 10,000 G.Ratio = NR - OR B:K = 2:3 Hence, the correct ratio is 2.
