Old goodwill of ₹80,000 appears in the books. A and B’s old profit-sharing ratio is 5:3. How much will be debited to B when it is written off?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹30,000

When old goodwill appearing in the books is written off, the goodwill account is debited and the old partners’ capital or current accounts are debited in their old profit-sharing ratio. The ratio A:B is 5:3, so the total number of parts is 8. B’s share is 3/8 of the book value: ₹80,000 × 3/8 = ₹30,000. A will be debited with ₹50,000, and together the two debits equal ₹80,000, closing the goodwill account. Option B is A’s share, option C ignores the ratio and assigns the entire amount to B, and option D incorrectly uses one-half. Therefore option A is correct.
