Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

When a new incoming partner is unable to bring his share of goodwill premium in cash, his share of premium is adjusted by debiting either his Current Account or Capital Account and crediting the old sacrificing partners' capital accounts in their sacrificing ratio.As per accounting standards, this direct adjustment operates when goodwill does not exist in the books or any existing goodwill has already been handled separately. Therefore, option B accurately describes this treatment.
