Explanation
Premium of goodwill is the amount brought in by the new partner to compensate the old partner for sacrificing the share in the profits in the firm. It is calculated by multiplying the incoming partner’s share of profit to the value of goodwill of the firm. Hence, option C is correct.
Partner
Old share
New share
Gain
Sacrifice
A
1/3
1/2
1/6
-
B
C
Therefore, A's share of goodwill is :
Rs. 90000 * (1/3) = Rs. 30000
Adjusting entry would be :
A's capital A/c Dr. 15000
B's capital A/c Dr. 15000
To C's capital A/c 30000
(The amount of share of goodwill adjusted on A's retirement)
