A, B, C and D share profits in the ratio 3:2:4:1. When B retires, A, C and D acquire B’s share in the ratio 1:2:1. What will be the new profit-sharing ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7:10:3

B’s share is 2/10. Dividing it in the ratio 1:2:1 gives A an additional 1/20, C an additional 1/10, and D an additional 1/20. Therefore, the new shares are A = 3/10 + 1/20 = 7/20, C = 4/10 + 1/10 = 10/20, and D = 1/10 + 1/20 = 3/20. Hence, the new ratio is 7:10:3. The ratio 1:2:1 represents only the distribution of B’s acquired share, not the final profit-sharing ratio. Exam tip: First calculate the retiring partner’s share, then distribute it according to the stated acquisition ratio.
