Hi Priya...
The answer is Rs. 11250..
Reason Being, present capital for 4/5 share is Rs. 45000.. (Both existing partners)..
So, for remaining 1/5th share, its 45000*1/4= 11250...
Thats my explaination.. Lets c if any other has any other explaination.
11250 is the correct answer.
11250 is correct
existing capital of firm is rs.45000 which is 4/5 th of total capital of new firm..
hence the total capital of new firm = 45000*5/4 = 56250
now to compute capital of C (new partner) there are two ways:
1) dedut capital of existing capital from new one
56250 - 45000 = 11250
2)simply multiply new capital by C share in new firm
56250*1/5 = 11250
