A company issues 100 debentures of Rs. 1,000 each at 97 per cent. These are repayable out of profits by equal annual drawings over 5 years. Discount on issue of debentures will
be written off in the ratio

  • Solution

    The amount of debenture discount can be written off in two ways :
    1. All debentures are to be redeemed after a fixed period. When the debentures are to be redeemed after a fixed period, the amount of discount will be distributed equally within the number of years spreadedbetween the issue of debentures and their redemption. The amount of discount on issue of debentures to be written off each year is calculated as
    Amount of discount to be written off annually
    = Total amount of Discount/Number of years
    2. Debentures are redeemed in instalments
    Debentures may also be redeemed in instalments but over a fixed period. In that case the amount of debenture discount will be written off each year in proportion to the amount of debentures redeemed.

The firm earns a profit of Rs. 20,000 and has invested capital amounting to Rs. 1,50,000. In the same class of business normal rate of earning is 10%. Goodwill according to capitalization method will be

  • Solution

    Under this method we calculate the average profits and then assess the capital needed for earning such average profits on the basis of normal rate of return, such capital is called capitalized value of average profits. After arriving at the capitalized average profit, Capital employed (assets – liabilities) of the firm is then subtracted from the capitalized value of average profits to arrive at the Goodwill,.
    To calculate goodwill using average profit, the average net profit for a given number of past years are multiplied by an
    agreed number of years.
    Mathematically, Capitalized Value of Average Profits = Average Profits × (100 / Normal Rate of Return)
    Goodwill = Capitalized Value of Average Profits – Capital Employed.
    Here profit for the year = 20,000
    Reasonable rate of return = 10%
    Thus capitalized value of profit = 20,000 × 100/10 = 2,00,000
    Capital employed = 1,50,000
    Thus Goodwill = 2,00,000 – 1,50,000 = 50,000

A and B are partners sharing in the ratio of 3:2. C is admitted for 1/5th share and brings Rs. 15,000 as capital and necessary amount for his share of goodwill. The goodwill of
the entire firm is valued at Rs. 60,000. Goodwill brought by C will be

  • Solution

    When a new partner is admitted in the firm, the existing/old partners have to sacrifice, what is given to the new partner, from their future profits, the reputation they have gained in their past efforts and the side of capital they have taken before. The new partner when admitted, has to compensate for all these sacrifices made by the old ones. The compensation for such sacrifice can be termed as ‘goodwill’.
    Hence, at the time of admission of the new partner, it is necessary to account the valuation of goodwill in the firm.
    Here the share in profit is 1/5th
    The total value of goodwill = 60,000
    Thus C’s share of goodwill brought by him = 1/5 of 60,000 = Rs. 12,000

A, B and C were in partnership sharing profits in the ratio of 4:2:1 respectively. A guaranteed that in no case C’s share in profit should be less than Rs. 7,500. Profits for the year 2009 amounted to Rs. 31,500. A will get

  • Solution
