A partnership firm has goodwill of ₹72,000 recorded in its books. At the time of a partner’s retirement or death, it is written off in the old ratio of 4:3:2. What amount will be debited to B’s account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹24,000

The old ratio is 4:3:2, so the total number of parts is 9 and B’s share is 3 parts. Amount debited to B’s account = ₹72,000 × \(\frac{3}{9}\) = ₹24,000. ₹32,000 represents the 4/9 share of partner A, not B’s share. Exam tip: When existing goodwill is written off, debit each partner’s account in the old profit-sharing ratio.
