Goodwill of ₹72,000 appears in the old books. Partners A, B and C share profits in the old ratio of 7:3:2. When the goodwill is written off, by how much will B’s Capital Account be debited?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹18,000

When existing goodwill is written off, the partners’ Capital Accounts are debited in the old profit-sharing ratio. B’s share is \(3/(7+3+2)=3/12=1/4\). Therefore, the debit to B’s Capital Account is \(₹72,000 \times 1/4=₹18,000\). Exam tip: For writing off existing goodwill, use the old ratio, not the new ratio.
