This amount is to be paid by Y and Z in a manner that their capital becomes proportionate to their new profit-sharing ratio. The amount to be brought or to be paid to partners will be
Option 1: Y bring Rs 66,000 and Z bring Rs 68,000
Option 2: Y bring Rs 66,900 and Z bring Rs 68,850
Option 3: Y withdrew Rs 66,900 and Z bring Rs 68,850
Option 4: Y bring Rs 66,900 and Z withdrew Rs 68,850
Correct Answer: Y bring Rs 66,900 and Z bring Rs 68,850
Solution : Answer = Y bring Rs 66,900 and Z bring Rs 68,850
Adjusted Capital of Y = 49500
Adjusted Capital of Z = 105750
Amount Paid to X = 1,35,750
Total Capital of the New Firm = 2,91,000
Y's share = $2,91,000\times\frac{2}{5} = 1,16400$
Z's share = $2,91,000\times\frac{3}{5} = 1,74,600$
Bank A/c Dr 66900
To Y's Capital A/c 66900
Bank A/c Dr 68850
To Z's Capital A/c 68850
Hence, the correct option is 2.
