How should goodwill and profit up to date of death be read in a deceased partner account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: As two separate entitlements

A deceased partner’s account may include several independent amounts due from the firm. Goodwill represents compensation for the partner’s share in the firm’s reputation and future earning capacity. Profit up to the date of death represents the partner’s share of profit earned during the part of the accounting period in which the partner was alive and associated with the firm. These arise for different reasons, so they are two separate entitlements. Choice A is correct.

The goodwill amount is calculated under the agreed goodwill method and adjusted through the partners’ capital or current accounts. Profit up to death is calculated using the appropriate time, sales, or estimated-profit basis. One item is not deducted from the other merely because both are credited to the deceased partner’s account. They must be calculated, recorded, and explained separately.
