When is Premium for Goodwill Account usually closed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the amount is distributed to old partners

The correct answer is option A: when the amount is distributed to the old partners. The Premium for Goodwill Account is a temporary account. When the new partner brings cash premium, the firm debits Bank and credits Premium for Goodwill. The premium is then transferred to the old partners’ capital or current accounts in their sacrificing ratio. After this distribution, the temporary premium account has no balance and is closed. Option A is correct. Option B, the new partner going home, has no accounting meaning. Option C, receiving a bank statement, does not close a ledger account. Option D, recording sales, is an ordinary business transaction and is unrelated to goodwill premium. The key distinction is that goodwill premium is compensation for old partners’ sacrifice, so it is transferred to them and then the temporary account closes.
