Why is a deceased partner’s share of goodwill credited to their account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To adjust their share in the firm’s goodwill

Goodwill represents the firm’s intangible value arising from its reputation, customer relationships and future earning capacity. Therefore, the deceased partner is entitled to their share of the firm’s goodwill, which is credited to their capital account. The partners who gain from the new profit-sharing ratio generally bear this adjustment through their capital accounts. Repaying a bank loan, recording tax liability or settling drawings is not the purpose of this goodwill adjustment. Exam tip: On retirement or death, credit the outgoing partner’s share of goodwill to their account.
