Correct Answer: Hidden goodwill 


Solution : Answer = Hidden goodwill 

The extra amount to be paid to Sumit in full settlement of his claim, beyond the balance in his capital account, is termed as hidden goodwill. This represents the additional value of the firm's reputation, customer base, or other intangible assets not reflected in the balance sheet but recognized by the partners.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
