A B C D share profits in 6:3:3:2. B retires and A C D's new ratio is 5:4:5. Who will bear the goodwill burden?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C and D

The direct answer is B: C and D. First express the old shares from 6:3:3:2, whose total is 14. Thus A, B, C and D originally had 6/14, 3/14, 3/14 and 2/14. After B retires, the new ratio A:C:D is 5:4:5, total 14, so their new shares are 5/14, 4/14 and 5/14. A falls from 6/14 to 5/14, so A is not a gainer. C rises from 3/14 to 4/14, and D rises from 2/14 to 5/14. Therefore C and D gain and bear the goodwill burden. Option B is correct. A is wrong because A loses. C is wrong because D also gains. D is wrong because A’s share decreases. Exam cue: compare old and new shares, not merely the new ratio.
