**Solution:

Working Notes:

**1. It is assumed that Ravi has acquired his share from Amit and Sumit in their old Profit-sharing ratio i.e.,1:1, since only the share of Ravi (new partner) is given in the question.

**2. Provision for doubtful debts given = ₹ 1,000

Provision for doubtful debts to be created = 20,000\times\frac{5}{100}=₹2,000

Amount to be Adjusted in Revaluation Account = 2,000 - 1,000 = ₹1,000

Prepare the Revaluation Account, Partner's Capital and Current Accounts, and the Balance Sheet of the new firm.

**Solution:

**Working Notes:

**1. Provision for doubtful debts given = ₹ 8,000

Provision for doubtful debts to be created = 2,00,000\times\frac{5}{100}=₹10,000

Amount to be Adjusted in Revaluation Account = 10,000 - 8,000 = ₹2,000.

**2. General Reserve distributed among the old partners in their old ratio.

Ram = 1,20,000\times\frac{3}{5}=₹72,000

Shyam = 1,20,000\times\frac{2}{5}=₹48,000

**3. Existing value of Goodwill written off among the old partners in their old ratio:

Ram = 1,00,000\times\frac{3}{5}=₹60,000

Shyam = 1,00,000\times\frac{2}{5}=₹40,000

**4. Calculation of Sacrificing Ratio:

Ram = \frac{3}{5}-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{7}{45}

Shyam = \frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{9}=\frac{3}{45}

Sacrificing Ratio of Ram and Shyam = 7:3

**5. Calculation of value of the Firm's Goodwill:

Value of The Firm's Goodwill = \frac{3,00,000+2,60,000+2,50,000}{3}\times2=₹5,40,000

**6. Krishna's Share of goodwill (Premium for Goodwill) = 5,40,000\times\frac{2}{9}=₹1,20,000

Ram and Shyam share in Premium for Goodwill (In sacrificing Ratio)

Ram = 1,20,000\times\frac{7}{10}=₹84,000

Shyam = 1,20,000\times\frac{3}{10}=₹36,000
