If the incoming partner privately pays goodwill to the old partners and the amount is not recorded in the firm’s books, what is the effect on the final balance sheet?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: No effect

A private payment is a transaction between the incoming partner and the old partners personally; it is not a transaction of the partnership firm. Since the firm neither receives the cash nor pays it, no cash account is affected. Similarly, because the payment is not recorded in the firm’s books, no goodwill account, partner capital account or revaluation entry is created. Consequently, the assets, liabilities and partners’ capital balances shown in the final balance sheet remain unchanged. Option A is therefore correct. Option B would apply only if cash were received by the firm, option C would require a recorded goodwill entry, and option D has no accounting basis in this situation.
