On the retirement of a partner, goodwill already appearing in the firm’s books at ₹54,000 is written off in the old ratio of 2:5:2. What amount will be debited to A’s Capital Account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹12,000

The old ratio is 2:5:2, so the total number of parts is \(2+5+2=9\). A’s share is \(\frac{2}{9}\). Therefore, the amount debited to A’s Capital Account for writing off goodwill is \(₹54,000 \times \frac{2}{9}=₹12,000\). ₹18,000 results from incorrectly taking 3/9 as A’s share. Exam tip: When existing goodwill is written off, all partners’ accounts are debited in the old ratio.
