Appreciation can occur with both tangible and intangible assets. For example, it is common for trademarks to increase in value due to a rise in brand recognition.
To A's capital A/c 7,500 (3/4 x 10,000)
To B's capital A/c 2,500 (1/4 x 10,000)
When there is any change in the profit-sharing ratio of partners, Goodwill is valued. One partner may gain a share of profit and others may sacrifice. So, we adjust Goodwill through capital accounts of partners. Debit the Gaining partner's capital account and credit the sacrificing partner's capital account.
