Solution :(a) When Goodwill is adjusted through new Partner's Current Account :

Notes :
(1) Value of total goodwill of the FIRM = Rs. 48,000
C's share of goodwill= ` 48,000 xx 1/4 = Rs. 12,000`.
(2) Calculation of Sacrificing Ratio :
Sacrifice Ratio = Old Ratio - New Ratio
` A = 3/5 - 5/12 = (36-25)/60 = 11/60`
` B = 2/5 - 4/12 = (24-20)/60 = 4/60`
Thus, Sacrifice Ratio = ` 11/60 : 4/60or 11 : 4`
