Old goodwill of ₹96,000 appears in the books and the old ratio is 5:4:3. How much will the third partner be debited when the old goodwill is written off?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹24,000

When goodwill already appearing in the books is written off, the partners’ capital or current accounts are debited in their old profit-sharing ratio, while the Goodwill Account is credited. The ratio 5:4:3 contains 12 total parts. The third partner’s share is therefore 3/12, or one-fourth of the recorded goodwill. His debit is calculated as ₹96,000 × 3/12 = ₹24,000. Hence option B is correct. Option A would represent 2/12, option C would represent 4/12, and option D would represent 5/12. Those fractions belong to neither the third partner’s stated share nor the required old ratio. The key point is that writing off existing goodwill uses the old ratio, not a new ratio or a gaining ratio.
