Working Note:

1. Average Profit = Total profit / No. of Years = Rs.66,000 / 4 = 16,500.
2. Calculation of Good Will = Average Profit x No. Of Year of Purchase = 16500 x 2 ½ = Rs. 41,250.
3. B’s Share in Goodwill = 41250 x 4 /15 = Rs. 11,000
4. New Profit Share is calculated as under:
                   Let Total Profit = 1
                   B’ share = 4 / 15th  share
                   Remaining Profit = 1 – 4/15 = 11 / 15
                   W’s Share = 11 / 15 x 3 / 5 = 33 / 75
                   R’s Share = 11 / 15 x 2 / 5 = 22 / 75

New Ratio of W :R :B = 33/75  :  22/75  : 4/15 or 33:22:20
5. Adjustment of Capital
For 4 / 15 share, B Brought Capital  = Rs. 30,000
Therefore Total Capital of the firm = Rs. 30,000 x 15 / 4 = 1,12,500
W’s Capital = 1,12,500 x 33 / 75 = Rs. 49,500
R’s Capital = 1,12,500 x 22 / 75 = Rs. 33,000
B’s Capital = 1,12,500 x 20 / 75 = Rs. 30,000
