Solution and Explanation

Goodwill of the firm is Rs. 9,000. Neeraj's share of goodwill equals \( \frac{1}{3} \times 9,000 = 3,000 \). Since Neeraj does not bring his share of goodwill in cash, his capital account is debited for Rs. 3,000 and credited to Sonu and Sandeep in the old ratio of 3 : 2. Neeraj brings Rs. 30,000 as capital which is credited normally. The firm does not raise goodwill account; instead, goodwill is adjusted through partners' capital accounts. Journal entries are given below.
