P, Q and R share profits and losses in the ratio 5:3:2. On Q’s retirement, P and R acquire the new ratio of 3:2. If the firm’s goodwill is valued at ₹60,000 and no goodwill account is raised, which is the correct adjustment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Debit P’s Capital Account ₹20,000 and R’s Capital Account ₹40,000; credit Q’s Capital Account ₹60,000

Q’s share is 3/10. P’s gain is 3/5 − 1/2 = 1/10, while R’s gain is 2/5 − 1/5 = 1/5. Thus, the gaining ratio is 1:2. The goodwill of ₹60,000 is therefore borne by P and R in the amounts of ₹20,000 and ₹40,000 respectively, while Q’s Capital Account is credited with ₹60,000. Since the goodwill account is not raised, the adjustment is made directly through the partners’ capital accounts. Exam tip: calculate each continuing partner’s gain from the old and new ratios before applying the gaining ratio to goodwill.
