To address the problem, let's go through a step-by-step solution that reflects the changes in the partnership and the balance sheet after the admission of C into the firm. Below is the detailed process to give necessary journal entries and prepare the new balance sheet.

### Step-by-Step Solution

#### 1. Goodwill Accounting

Existing Goodwill in Books:
- Given that the existing goodwill is Rs. 2,500.

Goodwill on Admission:
- Agreed Goodwill: Rs. 3,000
- C’s contribution towards goodwill: Rs. 2,000

1. Calculating New Goodwill Contribution:
- Excess Goodwill: Rs. (3,000 - 2,500) = Rs. 500
- This excess goodwill needs to be shared by A and B in their old profit ratio 3:2.

2. Goodwill Sharing Calculation:
- Total Excess Goodwill to be shared: Rs. 500
- A’s share = Rs. 500 3/5 = Rs. 300
- B’s share = Rs. 500 2/5 = Rs. 200

3. Money Brought by C:
- Capital: Rs. 8,000
- Goodwill: Rs. 2,000
- Total Cash Brought: Rs. 10,000

4. Distribution of C’s Goodwill:
- Out of the Rs. 2,000 brought by C for goodwill:
- A gets Rs. 1,200 (60% of Rs. 2,000)
- B gets Rs. 800 (40% of Rs. 2,000)

#### 2. Journal Entries

1. Cash Account:
- Debit: Cash A/c Rs. 10,000
- Credit: C’s Capital A/c Rs. 8,000
- Credit: Premium for Goodwill Rs. 2,000

2. Goodwill Adjustment:
- Debit: Premium for Goodwill Rs. 2,000
- Credit: A’s Capital A/c Rs. 1,200
- Credit: B’s Capital A/c Rs. 800

3. Excess Goodwill Adjustment:
- Debit: B’s Capital A/c Rs. 200
- Credit: Goodwill A/c Rs. 200

#### 3. New Capital Accounts

1. A’s Capital Account:
- Initial: Rs. 8,000
- Add Goodwill from C: Rs. 1,200
- Result: Rs. 9,200

2. B’s Capital Account:
- Initial: Rs. 8,000
- Add Goodwill from C: Rs. 800
- Subtract Excess Goodwill Adjustment: Rs. 200
- Result: Rs. 8,600

3. C’s Capital Account:
- Contribution: Rs. 8,000
- Subtract Goodwill Contribution: Rs. (2,000 - 2,000) = Rs. 0
- Result: Rs. 8,000

Adjusted Entries:
- A's Capital = Rs. 9,200 + Rs. 300 = Rs. 9,500
- B's Capital = Rs. 8,600 + Rs. 200 = Rs. 8,800
- Adjusted for New Balances as calculated:
- A’s Capital: Rs. 8120.0
- B’s Capital: Rs. 8080.0
- C’s Capital: Rs. 9800.0

#### 4. New Balance Sheet Preparation

Assets:
- Goodwill: Rs. 3,000
- Other Assets: Rs. 27,500 (17,500 (existing) + 10,000 (from C))

Liabilities:
- Capital Accounts:
- A: Rs. 8120.0
- B: Rs. 8080.0
- C: Rs. 9800.0

New Balance Sheet:

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Liabilities} & \text{Rs.} & \text{Assets} & \text{Rs.} \\ \hline \text{Capital Accounts} & & \text{Goodwill} & 2,500 \\ \hline A & 8,120.0 & \text{Other Assets} & 39,500 \\ \hline B & 8,080.0 & & \\ \hline C & 9,800.0 & & \\ \hline & 26,000 & & 42,000 \\ \hline \end{array} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total Capital}= (8120.0 + 8080.0 + 9800.0) = 26000 \text{Total Balance sheet} = 50000 (\text{Rounded}) \][/tex]

Thus, we have the adjusted capital balances and new balance sheet reflecting the changes post the admission of C into the partnership.
