Answer :

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Initial Balance Sheet Values:

- Sundry Creditors: ₹13,590
- Cash: ₹5,900
- Debtors: ₹8,000
- Stock: ₹11,690
- Buildings: ₹23,000
- Capital A: ₹15,000
- Capital B: ₹10,000
- Capital C: ₹10,000

2. Building Appreciation:

Buildings' value appreciated by ₹7,000:
[tex]\[ \text{New Value of Buildings} = ₹23,000 + ₹7,000 = ₹30,000 \][/tex]

3. Provision for Bad Debts:

Provision for bad debts at 5% on Debtors:
[tex]\[ \text{Provision for Bad Debts} = 0.05 \times ₹8,000 = ₹400 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{New Value of Debtors} = ₹8,000 - ₹400 = ₹7,600 \][/tex]

4. Goodwill Adjustment:

Goodwill valued at ₹9,000 to be divided among A, B, and C according to their profit-sharing ratio (3:2:1).

[tex]\[ \text{Goodwill Share of A} = \frac{3}{6} \times ₹9,000 = ₹4,500 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Goodwill Share of B} = \frac{2}{6} \times ₹9,000 = ₹3,000 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Goodwill Share of C} = \frac{1}{6} \times ₹9,000 = ₹1,500 \][/tex]

5. Adjust Capital Accounts for Goodwill:

Without raising Goodwill Account:

- A’s Capital will be debited for his share of Goodwill:
[tex]\[ \text{Capital A} = ₹15,000 - ₹4,500 = ₹10,500 \][/tex]

- B’s Capital will be credited for his share of Goodwill and the same amount debited to make net zero effect for B:
[tex]\[ \text{Capital B} \text{ (No effect as balance)} = ₹10,000 \][/tex]

- C’s Capital will be debited for his share of Goodwill:
[tex]\[ \text{Capital C} = ₹10,000 - ₹1,500 = ₹8,500 \][/tex]

6. Payment to B:

₹5,000 paid to B immediately and the balance is treated as a loan:

- Cash will decrease by ₹5,000:
[tex]\[ \text{New Cash Balance} = ₹5,900 - ₹5,000 = ₹900 \][/tex]

- Capital B will be debited by ₹5,000:
[tex]\[ \text{Capital B Balance} = ₹10,000 - ₹5,000 = ₹5,000 \][/tex]

- Remaining balance due to B treated as a loan:
[tex]\[ \text{Loan to B} = ₹5,000 \][/tex]

7. New Balance Sheet Post B's Retirement:

_Assets:_

- Cash: ₹900
- Debtors: ₹7,600
- Less: Provision for Bad Debts: ₹400
- Stock: ₹11,690
- Buildings: ₹30,000

_Total Assets: ₹49,790_

_Liabilities and Capital:_

- Sundry Creditors: ₹13,590
- Capital A: ₹10,500
- Capital C: ₹8,500
- Loan to B: ₹5,000

_Total Liabilities and Capital: ₹49,790_

_Final Values:_

- Sundry Creditors: ₹13,590
- Cash: ₹900
- Debtors: ₹7,600 (after provision ₹400 deduction)
- Stock: ₹11,690
- Buildings: ₹30,000
- Capital A: ₹10,500
- Capital C: ₹8,500
- Loan to B: ₹5,000

Thus, the new Balance Sheet immediately after B's retirement appears as follows:

### New Balance Sheet

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Liabilities} & & \text{₹} & \text{Assets} & \text{₹} \\ \hline \text{Sundry Creditors} & & 13,590 & \text{Cash} & 900 \\ \hline \text{Loan to B} & & 5,000 & \text{Debtors} & 7,600 \\ \hline \text{Capital Accounts:} & & & \text{Less: Provision for Bad Debts} & 400 \\ \hline \text{A} & 10,500 & & \text{Stock} & 11,690 \\ \hline \text{C} & 8,500 & & \text{Buildings} & 30,000 \\ \hline & & 37,590 & & 49,790 \\ \hline & & 49,790 & & 49,790 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]

This shows the final adjustment and values for all accounts involved after B's retirement on 31st December 2005.
