At the time of reconstitution, goodwill of ₹25,000 recorded in the books is to be written off in the old ratio of 4:1. What amount will be debited to the first partner’s capital account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹20,000

When goodwill is written off, the old partners’ capital accounts are debited in the old ratio. The first partner’s share is 4/(4+1) = 4/5, so the amount debited is ₹25,000 × 4/5 = ₹20,000. ₹5,000 is the second partner’s share, not the first partner’s. Exam tip: For an old-ratio adjustment, divide a partner’s ratio by the sum of all old-ratio figures.
