Partnership adjustments for revaluation and goodwill on Y's capital Steps:
- Revaluation loss of 4,000.
- Goodwill of 4,500.
- Goodwill written off to partners in new 3:2:1 ratio: Y's share (2/6) debited $3,000.
- Total entries for Y: debits 3,000 = 4,500.

Why the others are wrong:
- A: Overstates credit to full goodwill and understates debit.
- B/C: Understates total debit by excluding Y's $3,000 goodwill write-off share.
