Why is the deceased partner’s goodwill share credited to the Executor’s Account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It increases the amount payable to the deceased partner’s legal representative

The governing concept is that a partner’s share of goodwill is an economic entitlement arising from the reputation and earning capacity built during the partnership. On death, this entitlement does not disappear; it becomes payable to the deceased partner’s executor or legal representative. Crediting the Executor’s Account records the firm’s obligation and increases the amount payable. Option A is therefore correct. The entry does not create sales revenue, so B is wrong. It does not itself bring cash into the firm, so C is wrong. Reducing old goodwill is a separate accounting action, if required, and does not explain the credit to the executor account; hence D is wrong.
