A new partner takes (1/6) share. Total goodwill is (₹180000) and he brings only (₹20000) in cash. How much goodwill balance will be adjusted?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (₹10000)

The direct answer is option A, ₹10,000. The incoming partner’s required goodwill premium is calculated from the firm’s total goodwill and the share received. Required premium = ₹1,80,000 × 1/6 = ₹30,000. The partner brings only ₹20,000 in cash. Therefore, the goodwill not brought, or the balance to be adjusted, is ₹30,000 − ₹20,000 = ₹10,000. Option A is correct. Option B, ₹30,000, is the total premium required before considering the cash brought. Option C, ₹20,000, is the cash actually brought, not the unpaid balance. Option D, ₹50,000, is greater than the total amount required and therefore cannot be the remaining amount. The key is to calculate the new partner’s share of goodwill first, then subtract the amount actually paid. The result is positive because the cash brought is less than the required premium. Memory cue: total goodwill × incoming share gives required premium; subtract cash to find the balance.
