Statement: If a continuing partner's new share decreases then he should not be charged with new goodwill burden. How is this statement?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Correct

The direct answer is A, Correct. In retirement or reconstitution, compare every continuing partner’s old share with the new share. If the new share is smaller, that partner has sacrificed part of his profit, so he is not a gainer. Goodwill compensation is charged only to partners whose shares increase, because they receive the benefit of the sacrificed share. Thus the statement is correct. Option A works because a decreasing share means sacrifice, not gain. Option B is wrong because it reverses the basic rule. Option C is wrong because the rule does not depend on whether payment is made in cash; it applies in the relevant goodwill adjustment under either method. Option D is wrong because the rule is not restricted to old goodwill; it concerns the burden of goodwill adjustment caused by the gaining partners. The exact reasoning is: new share less old share equals gain or sacrifice; a negative difference means sacrifice; only positive differences create a goodwill burden. Memory cue: gainers pay, sacrificers receive.
