d. Q and R want to admit C as partner, P does not agree?
Solution:
a. P is bound to pay Rs.20,000 along with profit of Rs.5,000 to the firm because this amount belongs to the firm.

c. P and Q may buy goods from A Ltd.
Explanation: According to the Partnership Act, a partner has a right to buy and sell goods without consulting the other partners unless a Public Notice has been given by the partnership firm to restrict the partners to buy and sell.

Explain what arguments must have been put forward by Manpreet to which Jaspreet agreed.
Solution:
At the time of change in the profit-sharing ratio, on one hand, some partners gain, while on the other hand, some partners sacrifice. Therefore, to avoid putting any partner to an undue advantage or disadvantage, any balance available in the form of accumulated profits and losses is transferred to the Partners’ Capital Accounts in their old profit-sharing ratio.
