"When the value of goodwill is not given at the time of admission of a new partner. In such a situation it has to be inferred from the arrangement of the capital and profit sharing ratio."

Identify the method of valuation of goodwill being highlighted in above statement.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

When goodwill is not given, the total capital of the new firm is inferred from the incoming partner's capital and his share. The excess of this inferred capital over the actual combined capital of all partners is treated as hidden goodwill.
