Which account is debited when Premium for Goodwill Account is distributed to old partners?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Premium for Goodwill Account

When a new partner brings a premium for goodwill, that amount represents compensation for the reduction in the old partners’ profit shares. The Premium for Goodwill Account is a temporary account. When the amount is distributed to the old partners who sacrificed their shares, this temporary account must be closed. Its debit balance is removed by debiting the Premium for Goodwill Account. The sacrificing old partners’ capital or current accounts are credited in the sacrificing ratio.

The entry for distribution is generally: Premium for Goodwill Account Dr. to Old Partners’ Capital or Current Accounts. Bank is not debited at this stage because the cash receipt has already been recorded separately, and the new partner’s capital account is not the account used for distribution. Therefore, option A is correct. Purchases Account has no connection with this adjustment because goodwill is not a purchase of ordinary goods.
