In the entry for a deceased partner's goodwill share, which accounts are debited?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Gaining partners' capital accounts

At the death of a partner, the deceased partner’s estate is entitled to the partner’s share of goodwill. The continuing partners obtain the benefit of that share because they continue the business, and they must compensate the estate in their gaining ratio. Accordingly, the gaining partners’ capital or current accounts are debited for the amount they bear, while the deceased partner’s executor account is credited with the total amount due. Cash is debited only if an actual cash payment is made, and the purchases account has no connection with goodwill. Therefore option A gives the correct accounts to debit.
