SITUATION 1: <\/strong>When share of new or incoming partner is given without giving the details of sacrifice made by old or existing partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn this situation, it is assumed that the old partners\nforego their share in old profit sharing ratio. Therefore, sacrificing ratio is\nalways the old profit sharing ratio. Thus the effect will be that there will be\nno change in the profit sharing ratio of the old partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EXAMPLE: <\/strong>A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:1. C is admitted into partnership for 1\/8th<\/sup> share of profits. Calculate sacrificing ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSOLUTION:<\/strong> Since C\u2019s share is given without mentioning as to what C acquires from A and B separately, C acquires his share from A and B in their old profit sharing ratio. Therefore, the sacrifice made by A and B is in the ratio of 3:1.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA\u2019s sacrifice = 1\/8 * 3\/4= 3\/32<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u2019s sacrifice = 1\/8 * 1\/4= 1\/32<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, Sacrificing ratio is similar to Old\nratio, i.e. 3:1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SITUATION 2: <\/strong>When old ratio of old partners and new ratio of all the partners is given.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn this situation, sacrifice of share of\neach sacrificing partner is calculated by deducting the new share from old\nshare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EXAMPLE:<\/strong> A and B are partners sharing profits I n the ratio of 3:2. C is admitted into partnership. New profit sharing among A, B and C is 5:3:2. Find sacrificing ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSOLUTION:<\/strong> Sacrificing Ratio = Old share- New share<\/p>\n\n\n\nA\u2019s Sacrifice= 3\/5-5\/10=1\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B\u2019s sacrifice= 2\/5-3\/10=1\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hence, sacrificing ratio of A and B= 1:1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SITUATION 3: <\/strong>When new or incoming partner acquires the share by surrender of a particular fraction of shares by old partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn this situation, share surrendered by each\nold partner is deducted from his old share to determine his share in the\nreconstituted firm. The shares surrendered by the old partners in favour of new\nor incoming partner are added. It is the share of the new partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EXAMPLE:<\/strong> A and B are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3. A surrenders 1\/20th<\/sup> of his share, whereas B surrenders 1\/24th<\/sup> of his share in favour of C, a new partner. Calculate sacrifice of partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSOLUTION: <\/strong>A\u2019s Sacrifice= 5\/8*1\/20= 1\/32 or 2\/64<\/p>\n\n\n\nB\u2019s Sacrifice= 3\/8 * 1\/24= 3\/64<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, the sacrifice is 2:1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
