The new partner privately paid goodwill to the old partners, but the firm recorded it. What is the correct correction of this mistake?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The firm’s entry should be reversed

A private payment of goodwill is made directly by the incoming partner to the old partners and does not pass through the firm’s cash or bank account. Consequently, it is not a transaction of the firm and should not be recorded in the firm’s books. If the firm has nevertheless entered it, the error must be corrected by reversing the incorrect entry, restoring the accounts to the position that would have existed had no firm entry been made. Option A is therefore correct. Increasing goodwill further would repeat the error; treating the amount as sales is unrelated to partnership admission; and revaluation profit arises from changes in asset or liability values, not from a private goodwill payment.
