A and B share profits in (3:2). C is admitted for (1/4) share. C's share of goodwill is ₹12000. What is the total goodwill of the firm?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹48000

The direct answer is option C, ₹48,000. Goodwill is the value of the reputation and advantages of a firm. When a new partner receives a share, the goodwill belonging to that share is found by multiplying total goodwill by the new partner’s fraction. Here, C’s goodwill share is ₹12,000 and C receives /4 of the firm. Therefore, ₹12,000 = Total goodwill × /4. Dividing by /4 gives Total goodwill = ₹12,000 × 4 = ₹48,000. Option A, ₹30,000, would give only ₹7,500 for one-fourth, so it is incorrect. Option B, ₹36,000, would give ₹9,000 for one-fourth, so it is also incorrect. Option C works because one-fourth of ₹48,000 is exactly ₹12,000. Option D, ₹60,000, would give ₹15,000 for one-fourth, not ₹12,000. The exam cue is: total goodwill equals the new partner’s goodwill amount divided by the share taken, so divide by the fraction, not multiply by it.
