If a new partner brings goodwill in cash and an old partner immediately withdraws his share, what sequence appears in the old partner's capital account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: First credit then debit

The governing principle is the treatment of premium for goodwill when a new partner is admitted. The cash brought by the incoming partner as goodwill is distributed among the old partners in the sacrificing ratio. Consequently, the concerned old partner’s capital account is first credited with his share of the premium, because that amount increases his claim against the firm. If he immediately withdraws the amount, his capital account is then debited for the withdrawal. Therefore the sequence is first credit and then debit, making option A correct. It is not only a debit, because the partner must first receive the goodwill adjustment.
