Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Revaluation of assets 
The assets are to be revalued as per the agreement: - Stock: ₹16,700 - Furniture: ₹16,200 - Land and Building: ₹30,100

Step 2: Calculate the profit share of Narendra up to his death 
Narendra's share of profit up to the date of his death will be based on the profit of the last year, which was ₹40,000. His share in profits is \(\frac{2}{10}\), since the profit-sharing ratio is 5:3:2. Profit share = \(\frac{2}{10} \times 40,000 = ₹8,000\).

Step 3: Calculate the goodwill 
The average profit of the last four years is: \[ \text{Average Profit} = \frac{30,000 + 25,000 + 25,000 + 40,000}{4} = ₹30,000 \] Narendra's share in goodwill is valued at 3 times the average profit. Therefore, his share in goodwill is: \[ \text{Goodwill} = 3 \times ₹30,000 = ₹90,000 \] Since his share in the profit ratio is 2 parts, his share in goodwill is: \[ \text{Narendra's share in goodwill} = \frac{2}{10} \times ₹90,000 = ₹18,000 \]

Step 4: Calculate the salary and drawings adjustment 
Narendra was entitled to a monthly salary of ₹1,200. He passed away on 30th June 2019, so the total salary due is for 3 months: \[ \text{Salary due} = 3 \times ₹1,200 = ₹3,600 \] His monthly drawing was ₹900, so the total drawing up to the date of his death is: \[ \text{Total drawing} = 3 \times ₹900 = ₹2,700 \]

Step 5: Calculate the interest on capital 
Interest on capital is to be allowed at 10% per annum. Narendra's capital balance on 31st March 2019 was ₹12,000, so the interest due is: \[ \text{Interest on capital} = \frac{10}{100} \times ₹12,000 = ₹1,200 \]

Step 6: Prepare the Capital Account of Narendra 
Now, let us prepare Narendra's Capital Account, showing the amount payable to his executor: 

\[\begin{array}{|l|r|r|} \hline \text{Particulars} & \text{Debit (₹)} & \text{Credit (₹)} \\ \hline \text{Balance b/d} & 12,000 & \\ \text{Profit share up to death} & 8,000 & \\ \text{Goodwill share} & 18,000 & \\ \text{Salary due} & 3,600 & \\ \text{Interest on capital} & 1,200 & \\ \text{Drawings} & & 2,700 \\ \hline \text{Amount payable to executor} & & \boxed{38,100} \\ \hline \end{array}\]
 

Final Answer: The amount payable to Narendra's executor is ₹38,100.
