Working Notes:

1. Bharti’s share of profit = Profit is 10% of sales

Sales during the last year for that period were Rs 1,00,000

If sales are Rs 1,00,000, then the profit is Rs 10,000

2. Bharti’s Share of Goodwill

Goodwill of the firm = Average Profit × Number of Years Purchase

Or, 9,000 − 20% of 9,000 = 9,000 − 1,800 = Rs 7,200

Goodwill of the firm = 7,200 × 2 = Rs 14,400

3. Gaining Ratio = New Ratio − Old Ratio

Gaining ratio between Arti and Seema = 3:1

4. Interest on Capital for 73 days, i.e. from April 1, 2003 to June 12, 2003

Interest on capital = Amount of Capital × Ratio of Interest × Period
