Hi Akash, the answer for ur second question is Rs. 19,000. there is a typing error in the question. Instead of 1/6, it should be 1/5.
The question says that C purchases his share from existing partner. It means that existing partners are selling their share and c is buying it. Hence amount of capital introduced by C will be withdrawn by the existing partners. In effect, the total capital of the firm before and after admission will remain the same. Total capital of the firm before C's admission is 30,000 + 50,000 + 15,000 = 95,000
total capital after admission = 95,000
C's capital = 1/5 x 95,000 = 19,000
total amount brought by C = Rs. 25,000
C's share of goodwill = 25,000 - 19,000 = 6,000
total goodwill of the firm = 6,000 x 5 = 30,000
