Old goodwill of ₹270000 appears in the books. A, B and C share profits in 5:3:1. How much will B be debited when it is written off before admission?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹90000

When goodwill already appearing in the books is written off before a partner’s admission, the existing partners’ capital or current accounts are debited in their old profit-sharing ratio. The old ratio is A:B:C = 5:3:1, whose total is 9. B’s fraction is therefore 3/9. B’s debit is ₹270000×3/9 = ₹90000. Option B is correct because it applies the old ratio to the book goodwill. ₹150000 represents an incorrect fraction, ₹30000 reflects only one-ninth, and ₹270000 is the entire goodwill balance rather than B’s share. The write-off removes the asset from the books; it does not debit every partner with the full amount.
