Akash and Nitesh are partner's sharing profits in the ratio of 2:1. Kamlesh was admitted for 1/4 share, of which 1/8 was gifted by Akash. The remaining was contributed by Nitesh. The goodwill of the firm is valued at Rs. 1,60,000. How much amount of premium for goodwill will be credited to Nitesh's Capital Account?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Kamlesh's share is 1/41/4, of which 1/81/8 is a gift from Akash. A gifted share carries no goodwill compensation, so Akash gets nothing.

Nitesh contributes the balance 1/4−1/8=1/81/4 - 1/8 = 1/8 and is compensated for it.

Nitesh's credit =1,60,000×1/8=20,000= 1{,}60{,}000 \times 1/8 = 20{,}000.
