Why is the deceased partner credited with a share of goodwill at the time of reconstitution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To compensate him for his share in the firm’s reputation and future earning capacity

Goodwill represents the value of the firm’s reputation, customer base and future earning capacity. The deceased partner is therefore compensated for his share of goodwill because he contributed to building it during the partnership. Normally, this amount is credited to the deceased partner’s capital or current account and debited to the accounts of the gaining partners. Option B relates only to personal debts and has no connection with goodwill. Exam tip: In reconstitution, goodwill is adjusted in favour of a partner whose share is sacrificed or who is leaving the firm.
