If the new partner's goodwill is (₹55000) and he pays it privately to old partners, what entry will be made in the firm's books?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: No entry

Direct answer: Option A, No entry. Goodwill is compensation paid to old partners for the share sacrificed by them. Here the new partner pays ₹55,000 privately and directly to the old partners, not to the firm. Therefore the firm neither receives cash nor records goodwill in its books. Step by step: the payment is personal; no firm bank account is involved; no firm asset or liability changes; hence no journal entry is passed. Option A is correct because transactions outside the firm are not recorded. Option B is wrong because the firm’s bank does not receive money. Option C is wrong because the firm has not purchased or recorded goodwill. Option D is wrong because old partners’ capital accounts are not adjusted by the firm for this private payment. Memory cue: private payment means outside the books, so no entry.
