C's capital  A/c Dr.   ₹20,000
      To  B's Capital A/c    ₹80,000
(Premium for goodwill recorded)

 B's Capital A/c Dr.  ₹80,000
          To A's capital A/c     ₹60,000
          To C's capital A/c    ₹20,000
(Premium for goodwill recorded)

B's Capital A/c Dr.   ₹80,000
        To A's capital A/c      ₹40,000
        To C's capital A/c      ₹40,000
(Premium for goodwill recorded)

A's capital  A/c Dr.   ₹40,000
C's capital A/c Dr.   ₹40,000
        To  B's Capital A/c   ₹80,000
(Premium for goodwill recorded)

Correct Answer:

A's capital A/c Dr.    ₹60,000
C's capital  A/c Dr.   ₹20,000
      To  B's Capital A/c    ₹80,000
(Premium for goodwill recorded)

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1-
A's capital A/c Dr.    ₹60,000
C's capital  A/c Dr.   ₹20,000
      To  B's Capital A/c    ₹80,000
(Premium for goodwill recorded)


Goodwill of the firm =  ₹2,40,000
Share of B in Goodwill = 2,40,000 x 2/6
                                   = 80,000

Gained share = New share - Old share
A = 3/4 - 3/6
   = 3/12
C = 1/4 - 1/6
   = 1/12
Gaining ratio = 3:1

A will give = 80,000 x 3/4
                 = 60,000

C will give = 80,000 x 1/4
                 = 20,000

So, the following entry is passed for this-
A's capital A/c Dr.    ₹60,000
C's capital  A/c Dr.   ₹20,000
      To  B's Capital A/c    ₹80,000
(Premium for goodwill recorded)
