Best answer

Revaluation Account

Anil’s Capital Account

Anil’s Executor’s Account

Working Note: 

1. Goodwill = 21/2 years purchase × Average Profit

Average profit = \(\cfrac{\text{RS. 13000+Rs. 12000+Rs.20000+Rs.15000}}{4}\)

\(\cfrac{\text{RS.60000}}{4}= Rs 15,000\)

Goodwill = \(\frac{5}{2} \times \text{Rs. 15,000}\)

Anil’s share of Goodwill = \(\frac{5}{10}\) × Rs.37,500 = 18750 

2. Profit from the date of last balance sheet to date of death (April 1,2007 to October 1,2007) = 6 months 

Profit for 6 months = Rs.15,000 × \(\frac{6}{12}\) = Rs.7,500 

Anil’s share of profit = Rs.7,500 × \(\frac{5}{10}\) = Rs.3,750.

3. Interest on Capital 

(April 1, 2007 to October 1, 2007) 

= Rs. 30000 ×\(\frac{10}{100}\) × \(\frac{6}{12}\) = Rs. 1,500.
