Which statement is most correct in goodwill adjustment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Retiring partner's claim is based on old share and burden is based on gaining ratio

Goodwill adjustment at retirement has two separate ideas. First, the retiring partner must receive compensation for the goodwill share that belongs to the period before retirement. This claim is normally calculated using the partner’s old profit-sharing ratio. Second, the continuing partners receive the retiring partner’s share and therefore bear the goodwill adjustment in the proportion in which they gain that share. This is called the gaining ratio.

Therefore, the claim and the burden need not use the same ratio. Option A correctly states that the retiring partner’s claim is based on the old share, while the continuing partners’ burden is based on the gaining ratio. The other options incorrectly use the new ratio, capital ratio, or cash ratio as a universal basis. Exact journal entries may depend on the method used, but the principle in option A is the standard one.
