Can you please send the answer for this question. 

Q. L, R and S ae sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2. Their General Reserve as 50,000. They decided to share future profits and losses in the ratio of 2:3:5 with effect from 1.4.2016. Goodwill was valued 100,000. They also decided to record the effect of the following revaluations without effecting the books value of the assets and liabilities by passing a single adjusting entry and entry for Goodwill and General Reserve.

 
Items Booking Figure Revised Figure
Building 10,00,000 11,00,000
Machinery 5,00,000 4,80,000
Creditors 1,20,000 1,10,000
Outstanding expenses 1,20,000 1,50,000

Pass the necessary single adjusting entry by showing the workings clearly. 

Calculation of Net effect of revaluation items:
add: building           100000
        creditors            10000
less: machinery         (20000)
         o/s exp.             (30000) 
                                = 60000
add net effect of reserves and accumulated profits i.e.
       gen. reserve : 50000
        goodwill :     100000
                        = 150000 
60000 + 150000 = 210000
Calculation of gain and sacrifise:
Old ratio = 5:3:2
New ratio=2:3:5

L's gain/sac. = old-new = 5/10 -2/10 = 3/10 ( sac.)
r's gain/ sac.= 3/10 -3/10 = 0
S's gain/ sac. = 2/10- 5/10 = -3/10( gain)
therefore:
L's share = 210000X 3/10 = 63000
S's share= 210000X -3/10 = 63000.

Entry:

S's capital A/C  Dr. 63000
           To L's capital A/C 63000
( being adjustment entry passed)
