A and B share profits in the ratio 5:4. C is admitted as a partner for a 1/3 share of profits and brings ₹27,000 as goodwill premium. If A and B sacrifice in their old ratio, how much of the goodwill premium will B receive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹12,000

Goodwill premium brought in by the incoming partner is credited to the sacrificing partners in their sacrificing ratio. Here, the sacrificing ratio is the old profit-sharing ratio, 5:4. Therefore, B’s share is \(\frac{4}{9}\) of the premium. Thus, B receives \(₹27,000 \times \frac{4}{9} = ₹12,000\). The ₹9,000 option incorrectly treats C’s 1/3 profit share as B’s share of goodwill. Exam tip: Always distribute goodwill premium in the sacrificing ratio, not according to the incoming partner’s share.
