If a new partner privately pays the goodwill premium to the old partners, what happens in the firm’s books?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: No entry is made in the firm’s books

The governing accounting rule is that a transaction is recorded in the firm’s books only when it involves the firm or changes the firm’s assets, liabilities, income or capital accounts. In this case, the incoming partner pays the goodwill premium privately and directly to the old partners. The money does not enter the firm’s bank or cash account, and the firm has not received the premium as an accounting transaction. Consequently, no journal entry is passed in the firm’s books. Option B would apply only if the firm received the money through its bank. Option C is not justified because no goodwill account is being operated in the firm, and option D incorrectly treats a private payment as a firm withdrawal. Hence A is correct.
