Amount of his Premium of Goodwill.

Amount of his capital.

Correct Answer:

Amount of his capital.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Amount of his capital.

  • When a new partner is admitted, they get two types of rights:

    1. Right to share in the assets of the firm.

    2. Right to share in the future profits of the firm.

  • To obtain the right to share in the assets, the new partner must contribute capital, as it represents ownership in the firm’s property and resources.

  • The premium for goodwill, on the other hand, is paid only when the firm has existing goodwill and gives the new partner a right to share in future profits, not assets.

  • The new partner may or may not bring goodwill, but capital is mandatory to acquire an ownership stake.
