If the new partner pays goodwill privately to old partners and no cash enters the firm what is the correct accounting treatment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: No entry in firm's books

The correct answer is A: no entry is made in the firm’s books. A private payment means that the incoming partner pays the old partners personally, outside the firm. The firm neither receives cash nor pays cash, so the firm’s assets, liabilities and capital records are not affected by this payment. Option A is correct because only transactions of the firm are recorded in the firm’s journal. Option B is wrong because the firm does not receive the cash, so Cash Account cannot be debited. Option C is wrong because the firm has not recorded or received goodwill; therefore Goodwill Account is not credited in this situation. Option D is wrong because the new partner’s Capital Account is credited when capital is introduced into the firm, not merely when private goodwill is paid to old partners. The key exam clue is the phrase ‘privately’ and ‘no cash enters the firm’: these words usually mean no entry in the firm’s books.
