Correct Answer: Credited to Madan's Capital A/c Rs 20,000


Solution : Answer = Credited to Madan's Capital A/c Rs 20,000

Total Goodwill = 1,20,000

Amit's share = 1,20,000 x 1/6 = 20,000

S.R = Old ratio - New ratio

Madan = 2/3 - 3/6 = 4-3/6 = 1/6 x 1,20,000 = 20,000

Rakhi = 1/3-2/6 = (2-2)/6 =0/6

Credited to Madan's Capital A/c Rs 20,000.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
