Goodwill already appearing in the books is ₹18,000, and the old partners share profits in the ratio 1:2. When the goodwill is written off, what amount will be debited to the second partner’s account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹12,000

When existing goodwill is written off, its full value is debited to the old partners’ capital or current accounts in the old profit-sharing ratio. The second partner’s share is 2/3, so the amount debited is ₹18,000 × 2/3 = ₹12,000. ₹6,000 is the first partner’s share, not the second partner’s. Exam tip: For goodwill written off, debit the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.
