What is the effect on the retiring partner capital when goodwill compensation is allowed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Capital will increase

The direct answer is A, the retiring partner’s capital will increase, assuming goodwill compensation is credited to that partner’s account as stated. Goodwill is the value of a firm’s reputation and other advantages that help it earn extra profit. When a partner retires, the continuing partners compensate the retiring partner for the share of goodwill belonging to that partner. The retiring partner’s Capital Account or Current Account is credited with this amount. A credit increases the balance payable to that partner, so the capital balance increases. Option A is correct for this accounting treatment. Option B is wrong because a credit is not a reduction. Option C is wrong because goodwill compensation does not automatically make the entire capital zero. Option D is wrong because the credited compensation does affect the account balance. The important exam rule is: amount due to a retiring partner is credited to the retiring partner’s account; the exact journal entry may depend on the question’s wording and method.
