The old profit-sharing ratio of three partners is 2:5:3 and the new ratio is 3:4:3. The firm's goodwill is valued at ₹6,00,000. By what amount should the capital/current account of the gaining partner be debited under the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹60,000

The first partner's share increases from 2/10 under the old ratio to 3/10 under the new ratio. Thus, the gain is 3/10 − 2/10 = 1/10. In the goodwill adjustment, the gaining partner's account is debited with the amount of goodwill corresponding to this gain: ₹6,00,000 × 1/10 = ₹60,000. ₹1,80,000 is incorrect because it represents 3/10 of the total goodwill, not 1/10 gained. Exam tip: calculate new share minus old share for each partner; only a positive difference represents gain.
