In a partnership goodwill adjustment, if A was entitled to receive a share of goodwill but did not actually receive the amount, what entry will be made in A's capital account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Credited to A's capital account

In goodwill adjustments the gaining partner's share of goodwill is credited to his capital account while sacrificing partners are debited. Even if the amount is not actually received in cash, A has a claim and therefore A's capital account is credited. Option B is incorrect because debit entries are for sacrificing partners, not gainers. Options C and D are wrong because the account is neither closed nor left unaffected — the entitlement must be recorded. Exam tip: remember the rule — Gainer = Credit; Sacrificer = Debit.
