Question:

L and M are partners sharing profits in the ratio 3:2. N is admitted as a partner for 1/5th of the share which is acquired from L. Goodwill of the firm is valued at ₹40,000 on N's admission. N will have to pay for Goodwill:

Options:

₹4,000 to both L and M

₹8,000 to L

₹8,000 to M

₹8,000 to both L and M

Correct Answer:

₹8,000 to L

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹8,000 to L. 

Goodwill of the firm = 40,000
N's share = 1/5
N's share in goodwill = 40,000 x 1/5
                              = 8,000

As L sacrifice on N's admission, so N will compensate only L.
