Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Amount paid to Raghav on retirement = ₹4,00,000
Balance in his capital account after adjustments = ₹2,20,000
Difference = Excess amount paid over capital = Raghav’s share of goodwill
$\Rightarrow$ Goodwill share = ₹4,00,000 – ₹2,20,000 = ₹1,80,000
Hence, Raghav’s share of goodwill = ₹1,80,000
Balance in his capital account after adjustments = ₹2,20,000
Difference = Excess amount paid over capital = Raghav’s share of goodwill
$\Rightarrow$ Goodwill share = ₹4,00,000 – ₹2,20,000 = ₹1,80,000
Hence, Raghav’s share of goodwill = ₹1,80,000
