The new partner is required to compensate the old partners for their loss of share in the super profits of the firm for which he brings in an additional amount as premium for goodwill. This amount is shared by the existing partners in which ratio?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The premium compensates the old partners only to the extent each of them has given up a share of future profits. It is therefore credited to their capital accounts in the sacrificing ratio, which equals old share minus new share.
