A new partner takes (1/5) share. Total goodwill is (₹150000), but he brings only (₹18000) in cash. How much goodwill balance will be adjusted?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (₹12000)

The direct answer is option A, ₹12,000. The phrase “goodwill balance adjusted” means the part of the new partner’s required goodwill that has not been brought in cash. First find the goodwill premium required from the new partner: Total goodwill × his share = ₹1,50,000 × 1/5 = ₹30,000. He actually brings only ₹18,000 in cash. Therefore, the amount still to be adjusted is ₹30,000 − ₹18,000 = ₹12,000. Option A is correct. Option B, ₹30,000, is the total premium required, not the balance after cash brought. Option C, ₹18,000, is only the cash brought, not the unpaid part. Option D, ₹48,000, has no connection with the required calculation and is larger than the total premium, so it cannot be the balance. The calculation assumes that the stated total goodwill is the firm’s total value and that the new partner’s share is 1/5. Memory cue: required premium minus cash brought equals goodwill not brought or balance adjusted.
