A and B share profits in (7:3). C is admitted and new ratio is (4:4:2). Goodwill is (₹500000). What is B's net effect?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Debit B (₹50000)

The direct answer is option A: B’s account is debited by ₹50,000. First convert the old and new shares into fractions. B’s old share is 3/10 because A and B share 7:3. In the new ratio 4:4:2, B’s new share is 4/10. Therefore B gains 4/10 − 3/10 = 1/10. When a new partner is admitted and an existing partner gains, that gaining partner compensates the sacrificing partners; in the goodwill adjustment, the gaining partner’s account is debited. B’s amount is ₹500,000 × 1/10 = ₹50,000. Option A is correct. Option B has the wrong direction because B gains, not sacrifices. Option C uses 3/10 rather than B’s gain of 1/10. Option D ignores the goodwill adjustment. The cue is: gaining partner is debited; sacrificing partners are credited.
