If the new partner's goodwill is (₹65000) 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. Although the goodwill amount is ₹65,000, the amount is paid privately by the new partner to the old partners. It does not enter the firm’s bank account and is not received by the firm. Step by step: identify the receiver; the old partners receive it personally. Identify the books affected; no firm account is affected. Therefore no journal entry is recorded in the firm. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because the firm’s bank account is not debited or credited for this private transaction. Option C is wrong because no goodwill account is being recorded in the firm. Option D is wrong because the firm does not debit old partners’ capital for a payment made outside the business. The amount changes personal cash, not firm records. Memory cue: the size of private goodwill does not matter—private payment still means no entry.
