Arun, Barun and Chaitanya are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2:1. Arun retired and the value of goodwill of the firm is valued at Rs. 1,80,000. Barun and Chaitanya continue sharing business profits in the ratio of 2:1. The journal entry for adjustment of goodwill will be:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Arun's share of goodwill =1,80,000×36=Rs.90,000=1{,}80{,}000\times\frac{3}{6}=\text{Rs.}90{,}000.

Gain of Barun =23−26=13=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}; gain of Chaitanya =13−16=16=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{6}, so gaining ratio is 2:12:1.

Gaining partners are debited in that ratio: Barun Rs.60,000\text{Rs.}60{,}000 and Chaitanya Rs.30,000\text{Rs.}30{,}000, crediting Arun Rs.90,000\text{Rs.}90{,}000.
