Solution

Working Notes:

1) Calculation of Sudha’s Share of Goodwill
Goodwill of Firm = Average profits x 2 years purchase of average profit
= 42,000 x 2 = 84,000
Sudha’s share of goodwill = 84000 * 3/10 =25,200

2) Interest on sudha’s capital = 60000 * 6 /100 * 3/12 = 900

3) Calculation of Sudha’s Share of profits
If sales = 4,00,000
Profit = 1,00,000
If sales is 1, profit = 1,00,000 / 4,00,000
Profit = (1,00,000/4,00,000) * 1,50,000 = 37,500
Sudha’s Share = 37500 x 3/10 = 11,250

Values Involved in the given scenario:
(1) Sympathy, empathy and helping orphans.
(2) Fulfilment of social responsibility
