Why is the deceased partner’s share of the firm’s goodwill credited to his Capital Account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To compensate him for his share of the firm’s goodwill

Goodwill is an intangible asset representing the firm’s reputation and its capacity to earn profits. At the time of death, the deceased partner is entitled to his share of goodwill in the profit-sharing ratio, so that amount is credited to his Capital Account. The continuing partners generally bear this amount in their gaining ratio. Exam tip: In a goodwill adjustment, the deceased partner’s account is credited and the gaining partners’ accounts are debited.
