Abhay and Sumant are partners sharing profit in the ratio of 2:1. Aakriti was admitted for 1/4 share, half of which was given by Abhay and the remaining was contributed by Sumant. The goodwill of the firm is valued at Rs. 40,000. How much of the goodwill will be credited to the old partner's capital account?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Aakriti's share of goodwill =40,000×1/4=Rs. 10,000= 40,000 \times 1/4 = Rs.\,10,000. Abhay and Sumant each sacrifice half of her share (1/81/8 each), so the sacrificing ratio is 1:11:1. Hence each old partner's capital account is credited with 10,000×1/2=Rs. 5,00010,000 \times 1/2 = Rs.\,5,000.
