Who compensates the retiring partner for goodwill?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Remaining partners who gain

The direct answer is option A: the remaining partners who gain the retiring partner's share compensate that partner for goodwill. Goodwill represents the firm's reputation and earning advantage. On retirement, the retiring partner loses future benefits from that reputation, while the continuing partners receive a larger share of future profits. Therefore the gaining partners compensate the retiring partner through their capital or current accounts. The amount is normally adjusted in the gaining ratio, calculated from the increase in each continuing partner's share. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because a new customer is not the partner receiving the benefit or bearing the adjustment. Option C is wrong because the bank only handles money and does not compensate for goodwill. Option D is wrong because the government is not a partner in this transaction. Memory cue: retirement means gain by the continuing partners, so goodwill follows gaining ratio.
