In goodwill adjustment on retirement, remaining partners are debited in which ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In gaining ratio

The governing concept is goodwill adjustment at the time of retirement. When one partner retires, the remaining partners generally acquire, or gain, a portion of the retiring partner’s former profit share. This benefit is measured by the gaining ratio, calculated as the new share minus the old share for each continuing partner. Because these partners receive the future benefit of the firm’s goodwill, their capital accounts are debited in the gaining ratio, while the retiring partner’s account is credited for the amount due. Therefore, option A is correct. The old ratio is used for some routine allocations, equal sharing is not automatic, and cash ratio is not a recognised basis for this adjustment.
