If Goodwill Account appears in books at (₹30000) and old partners share in (2:1), how much will be debited to the first partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (₹20000)

The direct answer is A: ₹20,000 is debited to the first partner. A goodwill account is an asset with a debit balance. When existing goodwill is written off at admission, the old partners bear it in their old profit-sharing ratio, here 2:1. The total ₹30,000 is divided into 3 equal parts: ₹30,000 ÷ 3 = ₹10,000 per part. The first partner has 2 parts, so the debit is ₹10,000 × 2 = ₹20,000, or \(₹30,000\times2/3\). Option A is correct. Option B is only one part and would suit a 1:1 share. Option C is half the total, not the 2:1 share. Option D charges the whole amount to one partner, ignoring the ratio. Memory cue: write off old goodwill in the old ratio.
