Under the memorandum method, goodwill of ₹240,000 is written off between A and B in their new ratio of 5:7. How much will be debited to B’s account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹140,000

Under the memorandum method, goodwill is adjusted through the partners’ accounts and ultimately written off in the continuing partners’ new profit-sharing ratio. The new ratio of A and B is 5:7, so the total is 12 parts. B’s share of the amount written off is therefore 7/12. Calculation: ₹2,40,000 × 7/12. Since ₹2,40,000 ÷ 12 = ₹20,000, multiplying by 7 gives ₹1,40,000. Thus option C is correct. ₹1,00,000 represents A’s 5/12 share, while ₹80,000 and ₹1,60,000 do not correspond to B’s 7/12 share. The ratio must be applied to the full goodwill amount.
