Distributing goodwill in new profit sharing ratio instead of sacrificing ratio violates which principle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Principle of compensation for sacrifice

Direct answer: Option A, Principle of compensation for sacrifice. When a new partner is admitted, old partners give up part of their future profit share. This reduction is called sacrifice. Goodwill brought by the new partner is compensation for that sacrifice, so it must be credited to old partners in their sacrificing ratio. Step by step: admission causes sacrifice; goodwill compensates the sacrifice; therefore distribution follows the sacrificing ratio, not the new profit ratio. Option A is correct. Option B, cost price principle, concerns valuation or purchase cost and does not explain goodwill distribution. Option C, prohibition of double entry, is not an accounting principle used here. Option D, cash basis, concerns timing of cash recording and is irrelevant. Memory cue: goodwill follows sacrifice because it pays for the share given up.
