A, B and C share profits in the ratio 5:3:2. On C’s retirement, the new profit-sharing ratio of A and B becomes 7:3. The firm’s goodwill is ₹2,00,000. Who will bear C’s share of goodwill?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Only A ₹40,000

C’s old profit share is 2/10, so C’s share of goodwill is ₹2,00,000 × 2/10 = ₹40,000. A’s share increases from 5/10 to 7/10, giving A a gain of 2/10. B’s share remains 3/10, so B is not a gaining partner. Therefore, A alone compensates C for ₹40,000. Exam tip: On a partner’s retirement, the gaining partner or partners bear the retiring partner’s share of goodwill in the gaining ratio.
