Question : Assertion A:- A and Z are partners sharing profit in the ratio of 3:2. They agree to new terms of the partnership, and both the partners will get interested in capital and also remuneration, goodwill will be valued and gaining partners will compensate the sacrificing partners.
Reason R:- The profit-sharing ratio of A and Z has not changed. Hence, there is neither a gaining partner nor a sacrificing partner. Therefore, goodwill need not be valued.
In the context of the above two statements, which of the following is correct?
Option 1: Assertion A and Reason R are correct but the reason R is not the correct explanation of Assertion A
Option 2: Both Assertion A and Reason R are correct and Reason R is the correct explanation of Asseration A
Option 3: Only Assertion A is correct
Option 4: Assertion A is not correct but the Reason R is correct.
Correct Answer: Assertion A and Reason R are correct but the reason R is not the correct explanation of Assertion A
Solution : Answer = Assertion A and Reason R are correct but the reason R is not the correct explanation of Assertion A
While it is true that the profit-sharing ratio has not changed, the introduction of new terms of the partnership, including interest on capital and remuneration, may still necessitate the valuation of goodwill and compensation between partners.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
