A, B and C share profits in the ratio 3:5:2. C retires, and the new profit-sharing ratio of A and B is fixed at 1:2. What is the effect on A’s share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A gained a 1/30 share

A’s old share was 3/(3+5+2) = 3/10. After C’s retirement, A’s new share is 1/(1+2) = 1/3. Therefore, A’s gain is 1/3 − 3/10 = 1/30, so A gained 1/30 of the profit. Option B reverses the direction of the change and incorrectly calls the gain a sacrifice. Exam tip: calculate new share − old share; a positive result indicates a gain.
