A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/11/M/J/20

Explanation
Adjustments for revaluation loss and goodwill on admission Steps:
- Share 4,000.
- Raise goodwill of 4,500.
- Write off goodwill in new 3:2:1 ratio: debit Y's capital 2/6 × 3,000.
- Total for Y: debits 3,000 = 4,500. Why D is correct:
- Matches the net entries to Y's capital from revaluation loss (old ratio) and goodwill raise/write-off (old then new ratios), as goodwill is not retained. Why the others are wrong:
- A: Uses half goodwill values, ignoring full revaluation loss and write-off debit.
- B: Assumes 5,000 loss share, not matching given figures.
- C: Incorrectly combines loss and write-off without full goodwill credit to Y.
Final answer: D
