Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

* Existing Goodwill: Already shown in the books, so it must be written off among old partners in their old profit sharing ratio. Hence, (A) (III).Goodwill premium: Brought in cash by the new partner and is credited to the sacrificing partners in their sacrificing ratio. Hence, (B) (IV).Goodwill paid privately: Paid directly to old partners outside the business entity, so no journal entry is recorded in the firm's books. Hence, (C) (I).Hidden goodwill: Not explicitly stated, so it must be calculated or inferred from the total capital structure and profit shares. Hence, (D) (II).Therefore, the correct sequence matching is (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).
