To whom is premium for goodwill given?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To sacrificing old partners

Goodwill premium brought by an incoming partner is not ordinary income of the firm. It is compensation for the old partners who surrender part of their profit shares to the incoming partner. These partners are called sacrificing partners. They lose a portion of their future profit entitlement, so fairness requires that the premium be credited to them. The distribution is made in the sacrificing ratio, which is calculated as old share minus new share.

The premium is therefore given to the sacrificing old partners, making option A correct. It is not distributed to all employees, the bank, or customers. The bank may receive the money initially if the premium is brought in cash, but it does not receive the benefit as a partner. After receipt, the amount is transferred or adjusted in favour of the sacrificing partners. This distinction between receiving cash and receiving the accounting benefit is essential in admission entries.
