Let's calculate the new profit shares by deducting each partner's sacrifice from their old share:
Given details:\begin{itemize}\item Old shares: , , \item Sacrifices made to : gives , gives , gives .\end{itemize}Let's compute the new values:\begin{itemize}\item \textbf{For A:}
\item \textbf{For B:}
\item \textbf{For C:}
\item \textbf{For D:}
\end{itemize}Putting them together into a common denominator ratio:
Simplifying by dividing throughout by 2 gives:
