In the event of retirement, the retiring partner wants to get his share, out of the contribution he made during his term of service. What business owns is achieved with the combined effort of all the partners. And therefore it should be in existing ratio.
Due to his retirement the business cant sell his portion of share of assets inorder to pay him.
So the exisitng partners should bring in fund. It will not be fair if the remaining partners contribute equally, because, after retirement one or few other partners may have the benefit by increase in profit share; and therefore it should be on gaining ratio.
Hope you understood the relevance of "existing ratio" and " gaining ratio" in the event of retirement.
