Solution and Explanation
Goodwill of the firm is Rs. 24,000 and goodwill already appearing in the books is Rs. 12,000. The old goodwill must be written off between Vimal and Nirmal in the old ratio of 3 : 2. Sushil's share of goodwill is \( \frac{1}{3} \times 24,000 = 8,000 \), which he brings in cash. This Rs. 8,000 is credited to Vimal and Nirmal in the old ratio of 3 : 2. Sushil also brings Rs. 30,000 for capital. All entries below represent correct accounting treatment.
