Goodwill recorded in the books is ₹1,87,000, and the partners’ old profit-sharing ratio is 4:5:2. On writing off the old goodwill, what amount will be debited to Partner B’s account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹85,000

When old goodwill is written off, the partners’ capital or current accounts are debited in the old profit-sharing ratio. Partner B’s share is \(\frac{5}{4+5+2}=\frac{5}{11}\). Therefore, the amount debited to B’s account is \(₹1,87,000\times\frac{5}{11}=₹85,000\). Exam tip: Always use the sum of all ratio terms as the denominator; using 5 alone as the denominator gives an incorrect result.
