Q6 : A, B, C and D were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 4 : 3 : 2 : 1. On 1-1-2015 they admitted E as a new partner for share in the profits. E brought Rs 10,000 for his share of goodwill premium which was correctly recorded in the books by the accountant. The accountant showed goodwill at Rs 1,00,000 in the books. Was the accountant correct in doing so? Give reason in support of your answer.

Answer :
Accounting Standard 26 (AS-26) prescribes that goodwill is recorded in the books only when it is purchased. Thus, at the time of admission of a partner, if the incoming partner (here E) contributes some amount towards his share of goodwill (Rs 10,000), then such goodwill should be immediately distributed among the sacrificing partners in their sacrificing ratio (since no consideration is paid by the firm for the share of goodwill brought in by E).
In this case, the accountant has shown the goodwill of the firm (Rs 1,00,000) as an asset in the books of the firm. This is certainly violating the rules contained in the AS-26, as goodwill cannot be shown in the books until it is purchased. Thus, here the accountant has adopted the wrong accounting treatment.

(ii) New profit sharing ratio of Sahil, Charu, Tanu and Puneet on Puneet’s admission.

Answer :

Old Ratio of Sahil and Charu = 4 : 3
Tanu was admitted for 1/5th share, which was acquired by her equally from Sahil and Charu

(ii) Calculation of New Profit Sharing Ratio of Sahil, Charu, Tanu and Puneet

Old Ratio of Sahil, Charu and Tanu = 33 : 23 : 14

Puneet was admitted for 1/7th share, which he acquired from Sahil and Charu in the ratio of 7 : 3

Sacrificing Share


New Profit Share = Old Share – Sacrificing Share



Therefore, New Profit Sharing Ratio of Sahil, Charu, Tanu and Puneet = 26 : 20 : 14 : 10
