Notes For All Chapters Accountancy Class 12

Topic 1: Introduction and New Profit Sharing Ratio/Gaining Ratio
1. Meaning of Retirement Retirement of a partner means ceasing to be a partner of the firm.
The different ways by which a partner can retire from the firm are:
(i) With the consent of all the partners.
(ii) By giving notice in writing to all other partners of his intention to retire, in case of partnership at will.
(iii) In accordance with the terms of agreement between the partners.
2. Liability of a Partner
Liability of the Firm for the Acts before Retirement [Section 32(2)] A retiring partner remains liable for all the acts of the firm up to the date of his retirement. However, a retiring partner may be discharged from his liability by an agreement between himself, third party and the continuing partners.
Liability of the Firm for the Acts after Retirement [Section 32 (3)] A retiring partner also continues to be liable to third parties for the acts of the firm even after his retirement until a public notice of his retirement is given.
Various matters that need accounting adjustment at the time of retirement are:
(i) Determination of new profit sharing ratio
(ii) Determination of gaining ratio
(iii) Treatment of goodwill
(iv) Revaluation of assets and liabilities
(v) Adjustment of accumulated profits and losses
(vi) Adjustment of capital
(vii) Determination of the amount payable to the retiring partner
3. New Profit Sharing Ratio The ratio in which the continuing partners will share profits and losses is called new profit sharing ratio. It is the sum total of his old share and the ratio in which the outgoing partner’s share of profit is acquired.
New Ratio = Old Ratio + Gaining Ratio
4. Gaining Ratio The ratio in which the remaining i.e. continuing partners have acquired the share from the retiring partner is called gaining ratio.
Gaining Ratio = New Ratio – Old Ratio
5. Difference between Sacrificing Ratio and Gaining Ratio
