Under the memorandum method, goodwill of ₹1,20,000 is written off between A and B in the new ratio 5:3. How much will be debited to B’s account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹45,000

The memorandum method adjusts goodwill through the partners’ capital accounts without retaining goodwill as an asset in the final balance sheet. When the goodwill is written off, the debit is made in the partners’ new profit-sharing ratio. The new ratio of A and B is 5:3, giving a total of 8 parts. B is entitled to 3/8 of the amount written off. Therefore, B’s debit is ₹1,20,000 × 3/8 = ₹45,000. Option B is correct. ₹30,000 would use 1/4, ₹75,000 would use A’s 5/8 share, and ₹1,20,000 would incorrectly charge the entire goodwill to B. Thus only option B follows the stated ratio.
