  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's systematically match the goodwill treatment rules at the time of admission:(A) Existing Goodwill matches with (III) Written off: Any goodwill already appearing in the old balance sheet must be written off among old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.(B) Goodwill premium matches with (IV) credited to sacrificing partner: The premium brought by a new partner is distributed by crediting sacrificing partners' capital accounts in their sacrificing ratio.(C) Goodwill paid privately matches with (I) no entry passed: If goodwill is paid privately to old partners outside the business books, no accounting record is made.(D) Hidden goodwill matches with (II) Calculated on the basis of capital of partners: Hidden or inferred goodwill is calculated by looking at total capitalized value based on the incoming partner's capital share minus total actual adjusted capitals.Hence, the perfect sequence is (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).
