Which account is debited while distributing premium for goodwill to old partners?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Premium for Goodwill Account

Premium for goodwill is first received from the incoming partner and then distributed to the old partners who sacrifice part of their profit shares. The premium account is used only temporarily for this adjustment. To transfer the amount to the sacrificing partners and close the temporary account, the Premium for Goodwill Account is debited. The old partners’ capital or current accounts are credited in their sacrificing ratio.

The accounting entry is: Premium for Goodwill Account Dr. to Old Partners’ Capital or Current Accounts. Bank Account would be debited when cash is received, but that is a separate entry and not the entry for distribution. The new partner’s capital account is also not debited for this distribution. Goods Account has no relationship with goodwill. Therefore, option A is the correct choice and the explanation supplied is accurate.
