Why is premium for goodwill not treated as normal income of the firm?

Answer and explanation

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

Goodwill premium is a capital adjustment connected with the admission of a new partner, not revenue generated by the firm’s ordinary operating activities. The incoming partner obtains a right to share future profits, and this may reduce the future profit shares of the existing partners. The premium is therefore credited to the old partners in their sacrificing ratio as compensation for the share they surrender. It is not sales revenue, a bank loan, or salary income. Treating it as normal income would incorrectly increase the firm’s operating profit and would ignore the direct compensation due to the sacrificing partners. Hence option A is correct.
