Why is the goodwill premium received from a new partner not treated as the firm's income?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it compensates the old partners for their sacrifice

When a new partner is admitted, the partner brings a goodwill premium in return for a share in the firm’s reputation and future profits. This amount compensates the old partners for the sacrifice of their profit share, so it is not credited to the Profit and Loss Account as business income; it is credited to the old partners’ capital or current accounts in their sacrificing ratio. Option C is incorrect because the premium is not a loan but an entitlement of the old partners. Exam tip: Credit the goodwill premium to the old partners in the sacrificing ratio.
