✅ Correct Option: 2
Goodwill brought in cash is first recorded as Bank A/c Dr., To Premium for Goodwill A/c (III). Existing goodwill in the books is written off to the old partners in the old ratio: Old Partners' Capital A/c Dr., To Goodwill A/c (IV). If the new partner does not bring cash, his Current A/c is debited and the sacrificing partners credited (II). The premium collected is then distributed: Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr., To Old Partners' Capital A/c (I).
