Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

All four items reduce the amount payable to a retiring partner. A debit balance in his current account (A) is an amount he owes the firm. Existing goodwill written off (B) is shared by all partners including him. Accumulated losses (C) and loss on revaluation (D) are both debited to capital accounts in the old ratio.

Hence all of (A), (B), (C) and (D).
