Sagot :

### Step 1: Revaluation Account Adjustments

First, we adjust for the revaluation:

1. Land and Building: Undervalued by ₹ 50,000, so we add it to the assets.
2. Stock: Overvalued by ₹ 40,000, so we deduct it from the assets.
3. Claim on account of Workmen Compensation: ₹ 40,000 needs to be provided.
4. Unrecorded asset: Needs to be recorded at ₹ 30,000.

Total revaluation adjustment = ₹ 50,000 (Land and Building) - ₹ 40,000 (Stock) - ₹ 40,000 (Workmen Compensation) + ₹ 30,000 (Unrecorded Asset)
= ₹ 80,000

### Step 2: Goodwill Calculation

Goodwill of the firm is ₹ 2,00,000. [tex]\(R\)[/tex] is to bring his share of goodwill.

The new profit-sharing ratio is to be determined based on the given sacrifices:
1. [tex]\(P\)[/tex] sacrifices [tex]\(\frac{1}{4}\)[/tex] of his share.
Original ratio [tex]\(=\frac{3}{5}\)[/tex]
Sacrifice = [tex]\(\frac{3}{5} \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{20}\)[/tex].

2. [tex]\(Q\)[/tex] sacrifices [tex]\(\frac{1}{20}\)[/tex] of his share.
Original ratio [tex]\(=\frac{2}{5}\)[/tex]
Sacrifice = [tex]\(\frac{2}{5}
\frac{1}{20} = \frac{2}{100} = \frac{1}{50}\)[/tex].

[tex]\(R\)[/tex]'s share of the profits > [tex]\( \frac{1}{5}\)[/tex] = [tex]\(3/20 + 1/50 = \frac{15}{100} + \frac{2}{100} = \frac{17}{100}\)[/tex] or [tex]\(\frac{1}{6}\)[/tex].

Goodwill to be brought by [tex]\(R\)[/tex] = [tex]\(\frac{1}{6} \times ₹ 2,00,000\)[/tex]
= ₹ 1,20,000.

Since [tex]\(R\)[/tex] brings only 60% of ₹ 1,20,000 in cash:
Cash brought for goodwill = 0.60 x ₹ 1,20,000
= ₹ 72,000.

### Step 3: Calculation of New Capitals

1. Partner [tex]\(P\)[/tex] Capital Adjustment:
Partner [tex]\(P\)[/tex] had ₹ 8,00,000 and has to adjust for goodwill and revaluation.
New capital of [tex]\(P\)[/tex] = ₹ 8,00,000 - [tex]\(\frac{3}{20} \times ₹ 1,20,000\)[/tex] = ₹ 8,00,000 - ₹ 24,000 = ₹ 7,76,000.

2. Partner [tex]\(Q\)[/tex] Capital Adjustment:
Partner [tex]\(Q\)[/tex] had ₹ 4,00,000 and has to adjust for goodwill and revaluation.
New capital of [tex]\(Q\)[/tex] = ₹ 4,00,000 - [tex]\(\frac{1}{50} \times ₹ 1,20,000\)[/tex] = ₹ 4,00,000 - ₹ 8,000 = ₹ 3,92,000.

3. Partner [tex]\(R\)[/tex] Capital Adjustment:
Partner [tex]\(R\)[/tex] brings ₹ 2,50,000 in cash plus goodwill. Thus,
New capital of [tex]\(R\)[/tex] = ₹ 2,50,000 + ₹ 72,000 = ₹ 3,22,000.

4. Net Adjusted Capital after Revaluation:
Total = [tex]\(P\)[/tex]'s capital + [tex]\(Q\)[/tex]'s Capital + [tex]\(R\)[/tex]'s Capital + Total Revaluation
= ₹ 7,76,000 + ₹ 3,92,000 + ₹ 3,22,000 + ₹ 80,000
= ₹ 15,70,000.
