Solution and Explanation
Revaluation Account
| Particulars | Amount (₹) | Particulars | Amount (₹) |
| To Fixed Assets (Decrease) | 1,40,000 | By Creditors (Saving) | 70,000 |
| By Loss transferred: | |||
| Bittu’s Capital A/c | 40,000 | ||
| Chintu’s Capital A/c | 30,000 | ||
| Total | 1,40,000 | Total | 1,40,000 |
Loss on Revaluation
Loss on Revaluation = ₹ 70,000 distributed in 4 : 3 ratio
Bittu’s share = ₹ 70,000 × 4/7 = ₹ 40,000
Chintu’s share = ₹ 70,000 × 3/7 = ₹ 30,000
Partners’ Capital Accounts
Adjustment for General Reserve:
Bittu’s share = ₹ 2,10,000 × 4/7 = ₹ 1,20,000
Chintu’s share = ₹ 2,10,000 × 3/7 = ₹ 90,000
Adjustment for goodwill premium brought by Diya:
Diya brings ₹ 5,60,000
Divided in sacrificing ratio = old ratio – new ratio
Old ratio = 4 : 3
New ratio = 3 : 3 : 1
Sacrifice of Bittu = 4/7 – 3/7 = 1/7
Sacrifice of Chintu = 3/7 – 3/7 = 0
Thus entire premium goes to Bittu = ₹ 5,60,000
Capital of Diya = 1/7 of firm’s total capital = 1/7 × ₹ 21,00,000 = ₹ 3,00,000
Total brought in by Diya = ₹ 3,00,000 + ₹ 5,60,000 = ₹ 8,60,000
Final Answer
Revaluation loss ₹ 70,000 distributed and goodwill adjusted. Diya’s capital and premium recorded.
