Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Based on Z's capital of ₹ 30,000 for a 14\frac{1}{4} share, the implied total capital of the new firm is 4×₹30,000=₹1,20,0004 \times ₹ 30{,}000 = ₹ 1{,}20{,}000, whereas the combined actual capital of all three partners is ₹48,000+₹31,000+₹30,000=₹1,09,000₹ 48{,}000 + ₹ 31{,}000 + ₹ 30{,}000 = ₹ 1{,}09{,}000. The firm's hidden goodwill is ₹1,20,000−₹1,09,000=₹11,000₹ 1{,}20{,}000 - ₹ 1{,}09{,}000 = ₹ 11{,}000, so Z's 14\frac{1}{4} share of goodwill is 14×₹11,000=\frac{1}{4} \times ₹ 11{,}000 = "₹ 2,750".
