What is the appropriate accounting treatment of goodwill and profit up to the date of death in a deceased partner’s account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Both may be credited separately

Goodwill and profit earned up to the date of death are separate financial entitlements of the deceased partner. Goodwill compensates the partner’s estate for the value of his interest in the firm’s reputation and future earning capacity, while profit up to death represents his share of profit earned during the period he was a partner. Each amount should therefore be calculated on its own basis and credited separately to the deceased partner’s Capital Account or Executor’s Account. Option A is correct. They are not sales, receiving goodwill does not cancel profit entitlement, and goodwill is not automatically deducted from that profit.
