Goodwill appearing in the books is ₹45,000, and the partners’ old profit-sharing ratio is 5:3:1. On writing off the old goodwill, how much will be debited to B’s account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹15,000

When old goodwill is written off, the partners’ capital or current accounts are debited in the old profit-sharing ratio. B’s share is 3/(5+3+1) = 3/9. Therefore, the amount debited to B’s account is ₹45,000 × 3/9 = ₹15,000. Amounts such as ₹10,000 or ₹25,000 do not represent B’s correct three-part share of the total nine parts. Exam tip: old goodwill written off is adjusted in the old ratio.
