They admitted Chander as a new partner on 1.4.2023 and the new profit sharing ratio became 5 : 3 : 2. Chander introduced a capital of ₹ 1,60,000. Chander was unable to bring any cash for goodwill and so it was decided to value the goodwill on the basis of his share in the profits and the capital contributed by him. Adjustment for the same should be made through a current account opened in the name of Chander. The following revaluations were made at the time of Chander’s admission:
(i) Stock had been overvaued by ₹ 7,500 and furniture by ₹ 5,000.
(ii) Provision for doubtful debts to be increased by ₹ 1,000.
(iii) A creditor for ₹ 23,500 was paid off by Bimal privately for which no entry was passed in the books of the firm.
