What is the main purpose of including goodwill in a deceased partner’s share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To provide fair compensation to the deceased partner for the firm’s reputation and the partner’s past contribution

Goodwill represents the firm’s reputation, customer relationships and earning capacity. Therefore, the deceased partner’s share of goodwill is credited to the partner’s capital account as fair compensation for the partner’s past contribution and share in the firm’s reputation. Changing stock, cash or loss is not the purpose of goodwill adjustment. Exam tip: In retirement or death, goodwill is adjusted to provide the outgoing partner with the value of the partner’s share in the firm’s goodwill.
