Old goodwill of ₹1,20,000 appears in the books. A and B share profits in the old ratio of 3:1. How much will be debited to A when the goodwill is written off?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹90,000

When existing goodwill is written off, the Goodwill Account is credited and the partners’ capital or current accounts are debited in their old profit-sharing ratio, because the old goodwill belongs to the partners in that ratio. A and B share in the ratio 3:1, so total parts are 4 and A’s fraction is 3/4. Calculation: A’s debit = ₹1,20,000 × 3/4 = ₹90,000. Therefore, option A is correct. B will be debited with the remaining one-fourth, or ₹30,000. Option B is B’s share, option C debits the whole amount to A and ignores B, and option D incorrectly uses a half share. The debit removes A’s proportionate share of the old goodwill from the books.
