Old Partner's Capital A/c - Dr; Goodwill A/c - Cr New Partner's Capital A/c - Dr; Goodwill A/c - Cr Gaining Partner's Capital A/c - Dr; Sacrificing Partner's Capital A/c - Cr Sacrificing Partner's Capital A/c - Dr; Gaining Partner's Capital A/c - Cr |
Old Partner's Capital A/c - Dr; Goodwill A/c - Cr |
The correct answer is Option (1) → Old Partner's Capital A/c - Dr; Goodwill A/c - Cr. Goodwill appearing in the books will be written-off by debiting old partners' capital accounts in their old profit sharing ratio. Thereafter new value of goodwill will be given effect by crediting sacrificing partners' capital accounts and debiting new partners' current account. |
