To Balance b/d	9,200
To Sanjay’s Capital A/c	2,000
To Goodwill A/c	1,500	By Balance c/d	12,700

W.N. 2. Goodwill Account

Particulars	Amount	Particulars	Amount
To Akash’ Capital A/c	1,167	By Cash A/c	1,500
To Suraj’s Capital	333
	1,500		1,500

W.N. 3. Calculation of Sacrifice Ratio

$$ \text{S.R.} = \text{O.R.} - \text{N.R.} $$

$$ \therefore \text{Akash's S.R.} = \frac{3}{5} - \frac{2}{4} = \frac{12-10}{20} = \frac{2}{20} $$

$$ \therefore \text{Suraj's S.R.} = \frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{12-5}{20} = \frac{7}{20} $$

$$ \therefore \text{The Sacrifice Ratio of Old Partners is 2 : 7.} $$
