The firm raises a goodwill account of ₹90,000. A and B share old profits in 3:2, and goodwill is later written off in the new ratio 2:2:1. What burden will fall on C?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹18,000

The governing concept is the write-off of goodwill in the new profit-sharing ratio. The new ratio 2:2:1 has a total of 5 parts, so C’s new share is 1/5. When the goodwill account of ₹90,000 is written off, each partner’s capital or current account is debited according to the new ratio. C’s burden is therefore ₹90,000 × 1/5 = ₹18,000. Hence option B is correct. The old ratio of A and B is not used for this write-off because the question explicitly specifies the new ratio. Option A uses one-tenth, option C uses two-fifths, and option D uses three-fifths, none of which is C’s new share.
