The old profit-sharing ratio of three partners is 4:3:1 and the new profit-sharing ratio is 3:3:2. The firm's goodwill is ₹4,00,000. By what amount will the third partner's capital account be debited for the internal adjustment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹50,000

The third partner's old share is 1/8 and the new share is 2/8. Therefore, the partner's gain is 2/8 − 1/8 = 1/8. A gaining partner's account is debited with the partner's share of goodwill: ₹4,00,000 × 1/8 = ₹50,000. ₹1,00,000 is incorrect because the adjustment is based only on the additional gain of 1/8, not on the partner's entire new share. Exam tip: When the ratio changes, first calculate each partner's old and new share to identify the gaining or sacrificing partner.
