A, B and C share profits in the ratio 3:2:1. B retires, and the new profit-sharing ratio of A and C is 4:1. The firm's goodwill is ₹3,60,000. Assuming goodwill is adjusted through the partners' capital accounts, what amount will be credited to B's Capital Account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹1,20,000

A retiring partner is credited with his share of goodwill based on his old profit-sharing ratio. B's old share is \(\frac{2}{3+2+1}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\). Therefore, the amount credited to B's Capital Account is \(₹3,60,000 \times \frac{1}{3}=₹1,20,000\). The new ratio of 4:1 applies only to the continuing partners, A and C; it does not change B's old share of goodwill. Exam tip: For a retiring partner, calculate goodwill compensation using the partner's old profit-sharing fraction unless the question specifies a different arrangement.
