A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/11/M/J/20
Question 14 from 9706/11/M/J/20

Explanation

Adjustments for revaluation loss and goodwill on admission Steps:

  • Share 8,000revaluationlossequally(old1:1ratio):debitY′scapital8,000 revaluation loss equally (old 1:1 ratio): debit Y's capital 8,000revaluationlossequally(old1:1ratio):debitY′scapital4,000.
  • Raise goodwill of 9,000:creditoldpartners′capitalsequally,socreditY9,000: credit old partners' capitals equally, so credit Y 9,000:creditoldpartners′capitalsequally,socreditY4,500.
  • Write off goodwill in new 3:2:1 ratio: debit Y's capital 2/6 × 9,000=9,000 = 9,000=3,000.
  • Total for Y: debits 4,000+4,000 + 4,000+3,000 = 7,000;credit7,000; credit 7,000;credit4,500. 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 10,000goodwilland10,000 goodwill and 10,000goodwilland5,000 loss share, not matching given figures.
  • C: Incorrectly combines loss and write-off without full goodwill credit to Y.

Final answer: D
