What does crediting the retiring partner’s account for goodwill mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The firm recognizes an amount payable to the retiring partner

In partnership accounting, goodwill represents the value of the firm’s reputation and established customer relationships. When the retiring partner’s account is credited for goodwill, the firm recognizes that the partner is entitled to receive compensation for his share of that goodwill. A credit to the partner’s capital or current account increases the amount payable to him, or increases the liability that must be settled on retirement. Therefore option A is correct. The entry does not mean that the retiring partner pays the firm; that would normally require a debit to his account. It is also unrelated to borrowing money or selling goods, so options C and D do not describe the accounting effect.
