A and B share profits in (2:1). Old goodwill of ₹30000 appears in the balance sheet. How much will be debited to A on writing it off?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹20000

When old goodwill already appears in the balance sheet and is written off at admission, it is removed through the partners’ capital or current accounts in their old profit-sharing ratio. The old ratio is 2:1, so the total of three parts represents the entire goodwill of ₹30,000. A is entitled to two of those three parts.

A’s debit is therefore \\(₹30,000\\times2/3=₹20,000\\). B would bear the remaining ₹10,000. The debit reflects the reduction of the old goodwill asset from the books; it is not based on the new partner’s share or on equal distribution. Consequently, option A, ₹20,000, is the correct amount for A.
