Old goodwill of (₹180000) appears in books. A, B and C share profits in (4:3:2). How much will C be debited on writing it off before admission?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹40000

When existing goodwill is written off before admission, the Goodwill Account is debited and the old partners’ capital or current accounts are credited in their old profit-sharing ratio. The total old ratio is 4+3+2 = 9. C’s fraction is therefore 2/9. C’s debit is calculated as ₹180,000 × 2/9 = ₹40,000. Thus option A is correct. ₹60,000 represents one-third of the amount, ₹80,000 does not follow C’s 2/9 share, and ₹180,000 is the total goodwill rather than C’s individual adjustment. The admission does not change the ratio used for writing off old goodwill.
