The partners whose shares have decreased as a result of change in profit sharing ratio
are called ‘Sacrificing Partners’.


Sacrificing Ratio = Old Share – New Share
The ratio in which old partners agree to sacrifice their share
of profit in favour of the new partner is called the sacrificing
ratio.
New Profit Sharing Ratio
The ratio in which one or more of the existing partners surrender some of their old share
in favour of one or more of other partners is called sacrificing ratio. Sacrificing ratio is
computed by deducting the new ratio from the old ratio.
