Old goodwill of ₹1,50,000 appears in the books. Old partners A and B share profits in the ratio 2:1. How much will B be debited when it is written off?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹50,000

The governing concept is writing off existing goodwill at the time of partnership reconstitution. When old goodwill is removed from the books, the partners’ capital or current accounts are debited in their old profit-sharing ratio. A and B share in the old ratio 2:1, so the total is 3 parts and B’s fraction is 1/3. B’s debit is therefore ₹1,50,000 × 1/3 = ₹50,000. Option B is correct. A’s corresponding debit would be ₹1,00,000, which is option A; option C is the entire goodwill balance and ignores the ratio; option D incorrectly assumes equal sharing. The total debits of A and B equal ₹1,50,000, fully writing off the old goodwill.
