What is the most precise accounting principle governing goodwill adjustment on the retirement of a partner?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Gaining partners compensate the sacrificing or outgoing partner

The governing principle is that goodwill represents the value of the firm’s reputation and expected future benefits. When one partner retires, the continuing partners who obtain an increased share of future profits are the gaining partners. They compensate the outgoing partner for the share of goodwill that belongs to him, generally in the gaining ratio. Therefore option A expresses the correct principle. Equal sharing is not compulsory, cash payment is not the only possible method, and the old ratio may be needed to calculate the outgoing partner’s original entitlement. Hence the other statements are absolute or incorrect.
