this is simple :
it is nothing but new ratio -old ratio
5/8-4/9 =13/72
3/8-2/9=11/72...
good will to be paid to him in the following
a a/c dr 10800*13/24 5850
c a/c dr 10800*11/244950
to b a/c 10800

I think the ratio wich is given i.e 5:3 is the gain ratio and therefore its not the new profit sharing ratio...

Hi Anand, the guestion has some typing errors ( in institutes module). the correct question is as under
A,B and C are partners with PSR of 4:3:2. B retires and Goodwill is valued at 10,800. If A and C share future profits in 5:3, find the gain ratio.
here the new PSR is slready given in the question, hence u need to calculate Gain ratio as "new PSR - Old PSR". In case u have any further doubt, revert back to me.
