Capital balance X = Rs 50000

Capital balance Y = Rs 40000

General reserve = Rs 30000

total = 120000

(-) Dr balance in P/l a/c Rs (15000)

Total capital Rs 105000

If the total capital is 105000, and if the new partner Z ratio is 1/5, then the rest 4/5 is distributed by the old partners (X and Y)

If the total capital is Rs 105000, then 1/5 capital will be Rs 21000.(Rs 105000/5 = Rs 21000)

i.e., closing capital of Z (new partner)
