Why are referring it as shareholding in firm? By 20%, Do you mean to say 1/5 th share of PROFIT in firm......????? Anyway.....in the books of company....15L will represent under INVESTMENT. In the books of Firm.....if goodwill is not appearing before admission of Company.......raise the godwill and credit the same to C's capital account....and then make the entry accordingly.
