Question 2
Vogel and Mazibuko are in a mining partnership with a profit-sharing ratio
of 1:3 respectively. A new partnership was formed by admitting Malikane. A
1/6 share in the profits/loss ofthe new partnership was obtained by Malikane.
Vogel and Mazibuko agreed to relinquish the 1/6 share according to their
previous profit-sharing ratio of 1:3. The new profit-sharingratio is:
1. 3:13:2
,2. 5:15:4
3. 8:16:5
4. 1:3:6
5. 7:18:6
Explanation: The total profit-sharing ratio before the admission of Malikane was
1+3=4 (Vogel:Mazibuko). After Malikane was admitted, the new profit-sharing
ratio is 1:3:1/6 = 6:18:1. The 1/6 share is then allocated between Vogel and
Mazibuko according to their previous profit-sharing ratio of 1:3. Vogel gets 1/7
(1/6 x 1/4) and Mazibuko gets 3/7 (1/6 x 3/4). The new profit-sharing ratio is
