What is the safest exam sequence in goodwill accounting?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Identify old ratio then new share then sacrificing ratio then premium adjustment

Direct answer: Option A is correct. The safest order is to identify the old ratio, determine the new partner’s share, calculate the sacrificing ratio, and then adjust goodwill premium. Start with the old ratio because it tells us the partners’ original claims. Next identify the new ratio or the new partner’s share. Then calculate sacrifice using old share minus new share. Goodwill brought by the new partner is compensation for the sacrifice, so it is finally distributed in the sacrificing ratio. Option A follows this complete logical order and reduces calculation mistakes. Option B is wrong because goodwill cannot be distributed correctly before knowing who sacrificed and in what proportion. Option C is incomplete because merely writing the new ratio does not calculate sacrifice or goodwill. Option D is wrong because goodwill is not automatically divided equally; it follows the sacrificing ratio unless the sacrifice happens to be equal. Memory cue: old share, new share, sacrifice, then premium.
