A and B's old profit-sharing ratio is 5:4 and their new profit-sharing ratio is 2:1. Due to the change in ratio, which partner gains and by how much?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A gains \(1/9\)

Under the old ratio 5:4, A's share is \(5/9\), while under the new ratio 2:1, A's share is \(2/3\). Therefore, A's gain is \(2/3-5/9=6/9-5/9=1/9\). B's share decreases from \(4/9\) to \(1/3\), so B suffers a loss of \(1/9\), not a gain. Exam tip: convert both ratios into fractions of the total profit and subtract the old share from the new share.
