(ii) Land and Building was to be appreciated by ₹49,500 and provision for bad debts will be maintained at 5% of the debtors.

(iii) Sharma's share in the goodwill of the firm was valued at ₹60,000 and the retiring partner's share was adjusted through the capital accounts of remaining partners.

(iv) Sharma was paid in cash brought by Ratan and Singh in such a way so as to make their capitals proportionate to their new profit sharing ratio.

Always adjust goodwill directly through capital accounts when there is no goodwill account in the books. Revaluation profits or losses must be shared in the old ratio and general reserves distributed among all partners before retirement.
