A. RS 25000
B. RS 19000
C.RS 20000
D.RS 18000
ANY ONE CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION
total capital of new firm acc to C'share is
25000*6/1 = 150000
now, 150000- A's cap- B's cap- reserve- C's cap
= 150000 - 50000 - 30000 - 15000 - 25000 = 30000
this rs. 30000 is amt of goodwill
C's share in goodwill is 30000*1/6 = 5000rs
now, C will purchase his share of goodwill frm A and B for rs.5000
hence capital of C is rs25000 - 5000 = 20000rs.
