Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies why an incoming partner is charged a premium on goodwill. It also addresses whether a partner admitted mid-year is entitled to profits earned before their admission, noting this depends on the partnership agreement. If the agreement doesn't specify pre-admission profit distribution, the firm may need to prepare a P&L account to determine profit allocation.

Yes, it is charged.
1. yes it is charged
2. if a partner is admitted in mid of the year no not pre admission profit provided agreement provides.
2. so if agreement doesn't provide profit for pre period then does the firm has to prepare the p&l account at the time of admission as to determine the pre and post profit?
1. i am asking what is the logic ,why it is premium on goodwill is collected/charged from incoming partner?
