Accounting Tutorial: Partnership Accounting - Part III
the 3rd method is GIVING INTEREST AMOUNT USING A RATE BASED ON CAPITAL
BALANCES, ( beg., end, averaging) AND THE REMAINDER of profit after deducting interest
given IS ARBITRARY distributed..
This method implies that the partners will receive an amount called INTEREST on the
basis of their capital. This amount is an initial share of the partner to the profit of the
partnership. Most probably , this interest to be given to partners is small and there is a
tendency that there will an excess of profit ater this interest is deducted and remaining
profit will be shared arbitrarily.
EXAMPLE: the profit to be shared is 20,000.00. PETE is entitled to 12 %, interest, TONY
10%. Their profit sharing is 60% Pete, 40% Tony. Say average capital is , PETE 80,000.
TONY 50,000
pete tony
interest ( 12% x 80,000 ) 9600
interest (10% x 50,000 ) 5,000
remainder 60%x 5,400 3,240
remainder 40%x 5,400 ) 2160
total 12,840 7160 20,000
The computation of bonus especially based on net profit after deducting that bonus or
even after deducting interest and salaries, may to some, is a little bit difficult. So allow
me to simply the algebraic expression being used by some teachers into a mathematical
computation.
It is said that the bonus rate is to be multiplied to the NET PROFIT after DEDUCTING that
bonus, sounds confusing.
HERE IS HOW:
If a certain percentage (bonus rate) is to be multiplied to NET INCOME after bonus , that
NET INCOME after bonus is said or considered to be at 100% since it is on this 100% that
the bonus rate will be multiplied . NOW , since this 100% is arrived at because the bonus
was deducted from the NET PROFIT before bonus , therefore using work back
approached , that is, NET INCOME AFTER BONUS is 100% , add the bonus rate, will equal
the equivalent PERCENTAGE of the NET INCOME BEFORE BONUS.
REMEMBER THIS PRINCIPLE : ANY AMOUNT DIVIDED BY A PERCENT IT REPRESENTS THE
ANSWER IS THE AMOUNT IN ITS 100%.
Now since we know the equivalent or representative percentage of the NET PROFIT
BEFORE BONUS, you just simple divide the NET PROFIT BEFORE BONUS to its equivalent
percentage , THEN YOU ARRIVE THE AMOUNT OF NET PROFIT AFTER BONUS , which is the
100%. So, you multiply now the rate of bonus to the NET PROFIT AFTER BONUS to get the
BONUS AMOUNT to be given to the partner.
EXAMPLE.
of course, the 120% was arrived at by adding the 100% plus 20% equals 120%. hence 120%
profit before bonus , less bonus of 20% equals 100%, where you now multiply the bonus
rate.
a test or quiz or board exam might appear that the bonus amount and rate of bonus is
given but the net profit is unknown. To solve it is: bonus divide 20% = profit after bonus
PLUS BONUS AMOUNT = net profit before bonus.
Or the net profit after bonus is given and the rate of bonus, how much is the net profit.
There is another bonus computation that is also complicated to some. And this is the
bonus is computed on net profit after bonus, after interest.
EXAMPLE : BONUS IS 20% FOR PETE, , INTEREST IS 10,000 PETE,, TONY 5,000
NET PROFIT IS 200,000.00
Computation:
Now considering that the net profit after bonus and interest became 100% where it
became 100% because a 20% bonus is deducted from the net profit after interest,
therefore the 185,000 is represented by 120% ( 100% add 20%) . Dividing 185,000 by 120% ,
gives you 154,166.66 as the NET PROFIT AFTER BONUS AFTER INTEREST which will serve
as basis of the 20% bonus of 30,833.33.
to prove:
net profit after interest 185,000
Less: bonus 30,833.33
net profit after interest/bonus 154,166.67 x 20% = 30,833.33
Now , the same formula if the salary allowance is also included. All you have to do is
deduct the salary allowance to arrive at the NET PROFIT AFTER INTEREST AFTER SALARY
ALLOWANCE. This net profit just mentioned will now be the amount that will be divided
on a percentage arrived in adding 100% plus bonus rate. So if the bonus rate is 5%, the
divisor would be 105%, if 30%, 130% so on so forth.
BUT SUPPOSING THE TOTAL OF BONUS, INTEREST , SALARIES IS BIGGER THAN THE NET
PROFIT, WHAT WILL BE THE PROCEDURE.
In the preceeding example , supposing the profit is only 20,000.00. How is the
distribution of profit if profit sharing is 60% pete, 40% tony. Bonus is 5%.
PETE TONY
INTEREST 10,000 5,000 15,000
SALARIES 3,000 8,000 11,000
bonus 833.33 833.33
TOTAL. 13,833.33 13,000 26,833.33
distribution of loss ( 4,100.00 ) ( 2,733.33) ( 6,833.33)
NET INTAKE 9,733.33 10,266.6 20,000
In this example , the loss after giving interest, salary and bonus shall likewise be
distributed in accordance with their sharing ratio.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANOTHER TYPE OF PROFIT DISTRIBUTION IS THE GIVING MINIMUM GUARANTEED SHARE IN
PROFITS TO PARTNER.
This system entitled a partner a minimum share of profits including interest , salaries,
bonus . that means he is assured to received that minimum amount , whether the profit is
not sufficient to pay the other partner, in which case the other partner has to reduced
their share on the profits.
REMEMBER FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO VIEW OR TO GRASP THE OVERALL PICTURE OF THE
PROFIT DISTRIBUTION FOR EASY ANALYSIS , YOU HAVE TO DRAW THE FORMAT OF THE
PROFIT DISTRIBUTION AS SHOWN BY THE SUCCEEDING ILLUSTRATION.
this is about a partner being given a MINIMUM GUARRANTEED SHARE ON THE PROFITS.
EXAMPLE.
What maybe the issue here is how to compute for the share of A , C on the lacking of
profit as a result of the minimum of 10000 of B.
Take note that the profit is only 15,000 and the initial fixed share of A , C is 6000 ( A
4000 , C 2000) plus the minimum share of B of 10,000 or a total of 16,000, which is short
of 1,000 , which shall be divided between A, C. . B is not subject to share because he is
assured of the 10,000 therefore A C HAS to absorb the shortage.
Now since A , C has a 50% share , C has a 30% on the profit sharing ratio. their total
contribution as to sharing is 80%, so their effective share without B is as ff:
How do you compute for the equivalent percent when what is given is in terms of whole
number and not in percentage. like 5: 3: 2 -= 10
simply add the total of all numbers then , now to get their individual percentage ratio is
DIVIDE their number by the TOTAL OF THE ALL THE NUMBERS. 5/10 3/10 2/10
___________________________________________________________________________
Being the accountant of the partnership, you must pre compute the needed profit so that
the minimum guarranted share of the partner and the interest and salaries ONLY of the
other partner can be met.
IN THIS WAY , by mere seeing the actual profit you would know whether the partner can
have a share on the remaining profits . In the above example , it is 16,000.00 .
You must also TO PRE COMPUTE , THE needed partnership profit where the other
partner not receiving minimum share can still share on the remaining profits, that means
by simply getting the difference between the 16,000 and this pre computed profit, the
partners not receiving a minimum guarranteed share will likewise received his share on
the remaining profit.
This profit pre determination presupposes that the one receiving the minimum has also
have the share on the remaining profit, that means , HIS GUARRANTEED SHARE LESS HIS
INTEREST , SALARIES is presumed his share on the profits, THIS SHARE is of course
represented by his profit sharing ratio, THAT MEANS DIVIDING THIS SHARE ON THE PROFIT
BY HIS SHARING RATIO IS EQUAL TO THE REMAINING PROFIT AFTER THE INTEREST ,
SALARIES OF ALL THE PARTNERS. THAT MEANS THIS REMAINING PROFIT PLUS INTEREST/
SALARIES IS EQUAL TO THE pre computed PROFIT , SO THAT THE ONE RECEIVING A
MINIMUM, AND THOSE NOT ENTITLED TO THE MINIMUM CAN ALSO SHARE ON THE
REMAINING.
THIS PRE COMPUTED PROFIT IS A CONDITION WHERE ALL OF THE PARTNERS HAVE A
CORRESPONDING SHARE ON THE REMAINING PROFIT.
THAT MEANS the profit IN EXCESS OF THIS PRE COMPUTED PROFIT , SHALL BE SHARED BY
ALL OF THE PARTNERS BASED ON THEIR PROFIT AND LOSS SHARING RATIO.
____
THAT means if the partnership attains 48,000 profit, automatically , the above is their
distribution.
this profit of 48,000 is the minimum profit so that the 8000 of B is really a representative
of his 20% share in the profit because if 8000 is 20% therefore it came from a 40,000
Since , as explained, the 8000 pesos is presumed to be the share of B in the remaining
profit having minimum share on the remaining profit , therefore dividing 8000 by 20%
equals 40,000, hence this is the amount where A share ratio of 50% is multiplied which is
equal to 20,000, C share ratio of 30% will equal to 12,000.00 .
so if you total the interest , salary which is 8000 plus the 40,000 supposed remaining
profit would equal to 48,000.00 as the PRE COMPUTED PROFIT.
A QUIZ MAY APPEAR THAT SAY 53,000 IS THE SUPPOSED PROFIT THAT SHOULD BE ATTAIN
SO THAT ALL THE PARTNERS HAVE A SHARE ON REMAINING PROFITS ON THE BASIS OF THE
MINIMUM SHARE OF THE PARTNER WITH GUARANTEED SHARE OF 8,000, ASSUMING 5,000 IS
HIS CORRESPONDING SHARE ON THE PROFIT TO SUFFICE HIS MINIMUM AND HAS A 10%
SHARING RATIO. HOW MUCH IS THE REMAINING PROFIT TO BE SHARED BY THE PARTNERS.
ANS. 5,000 DIVIDE 10% .
Any profit below 48,000 pesos but not less than 16,000 , the remaining profit shall be
shared by A , C at 5/8 = 62.5% for A, 3/8 = 37.5% for C.
NOW , ANY PROFIT IN EXCESS OF 48,000. that excess, shall be divided among the partners
based on their sharing ratio, the partner with minimum share shall again receive on this
excess.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A QUESTION MAY ARISE WHEN , IT IS BEING ASKED HOW MUCH PROFIT IS NEEDED SO THAT
B CAN HAVE A MINIMUM SHARE OF 10,000
That means 16,000 is the needed profit so that B is assured of 10,000 minimum share.
take note that A , C have no share on the remaining profit of 8,000 because that
remaining profit is for A alone to satisfy his minimum share.
the difference between these two pre computed profit , 16,000 and 48,000 , which is
32,000 shall be shared by A, B, C based on their sharing ratio. TAKE NOTE 8000 OF B
10,000 IS CONSIDERED HIS SHARE ON THE REMAINING PROFITS FOR PURPOSES OF
DETERMINING THE PRE COMPUTED PROFIT WHERE ALL CAN HAVE ITS OWN SHARE ON THE
REMAINING PROFITS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
______________________________________________________________________________
ANOTHER ISSUE IS SUPPOSING AT THE SAME TIME C WILL HAVE AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT
TO BE RECEIVED SAY 20,000, HOW MUCH PROFIT THE PARTNERSHIP MUST REGISTER. THIS
WILL CHANGE THE PRE COMPUTED PROFIT AS EXPLAINED ABOVE DUE TO THE
INTRODUCTION OF THIS AGGREGATE SHARE , WHERE THE PRE COMPUTED IS 48,000.

SHARE ON THE REMAINDER 30000 18,000 48,000
DESIRED PROFIT 34,000 10000 20,000 64,000
64,000 IS NOW THE PRE COMPUTED IF C MUST RECEIVE 20,000 AGGREGATE and that A will
have also a share..
Explanation:
Since C has already a 2000 interest , so he needs only 18,000 to reach an aggregate of
20,000, and B has already received his minimum share of 10,000 . Since the 18,000 of C
is his share on the remaining profit and since A , C combined share ratio is 80%, ( 50%
plus 30%) the 18,000 of C represents 37.5% ( 30% divide 80%) therefore dividing 18,000 by
37.5% equals 48000 where the share of A of 62.5% ( 50%DIVIDE 80%) will be multiplied
( 48,000 x 62.5% = 30,000
the problem in this scheme is IF THE NET PROFIT FALLS BELOW 64,000, would C to receive
the aggregate of 20,000 . let us say the net profit is 60,000. Does C would still have the
20,000 and therefore A will shoulder the difference . No. , the profit deficiency is to be
shared by A, and C. in accordance to the ratio of its share using the total of their share
ratio. as explained above. C 37.5%, A 62.5%.
THE PARTNER THAT IS ENTITLED TO AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT WOULD NOT RECEIVED SUCH
AMOUNT IF AND WHEN THE PROFIT FALLS BELOW 64,000. EXAMPLE SUPPOSE THE PROFIT

C did not receive the aggregate of 20,000. though B receive the minimum guarranteed
10000.
HOW ABOUT WHEN THE PROFIT IS MORE THAN THE 64,000 PRE COMPUTED PROFIT, SAY
84,000. HOW IS THE PROFIT DISTRIBUTED.

In the event that the profit is more than the pre computed profit which is 64,000, and the
actual is 84,000. the aggregate of C is disregard , instead , A, C will have an initial or
basic share , 50%, and 30% respectively on the 40,000. THIS 40000 is arrived by dividing
8000 of B\ share by his profit share OF 20%., A share is 50% x 40,000= 20,000 , C 30% x
40000 =12000, After that , any residual profit which is 36,000 ( 48,000 minus 84000)
shall be divided to themselves , A , 50% X 36000, = 18,000 B 20% X 36.000, =7200 C ,

share on residual (48000 less 84,000= 36,000)
A 36,000 X 50% = 18,000, B .20% X 36000_ 7200, C 36000 X 30%=10800
====================================================================
1. the salary allowances and the interest on capital as part of the sharing of profits are
generally recognized as PROFIT DISTRIBUTION and NOT RECORDED AS EXPENSES IN THE
PROFIT AND LOSS.
2. if the event that a partner extend loan to the partnership, the interest on such loans is
considered at INTEREST EXPENSE..
1. a partner can extend a loan to the partnership and this is recorded as LOANS PAYABLE
any interest to paid by the partnership for that loan shall be recorded as interest expense.
2. a partner can borrow money from the partnership and recorded as LOANS
RECEIVABLE. any interest collected from him shall be recorded as interest income.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE JOURNALIZATION PROCESS:
the following transactions affecting capital accounts and drawing accounts are recorded as
ff:
On profit distribution.
1. Interest and salaries as part of the distribution scheme of profits can be treated as
expenses instead of profit distribution. the entry is:
SALARIES XXX
INTEREST XXX
CAPITAL XXX
in this is treated as expense, it is credited to capital instead of drawing account.
if treated as distribution of profits, the debit to income exp summary should include the
distribution of remaining profit after salary and interest.
2. salaries , interest are treated as expense, the distribution of the remaining profits
after the distribution of salaries and interest is recorded as ff:

ADJUSTMENTS OF NET INCOME OF PRIOR YEARS.
the correction of net income of priors is only made when the nominal or the profit and
loss statement is affected.
When an inventory was overvalued at the end of the year, that means the inventory
account was overdebited and the cost of sales was over credited, in this case the net
profit is overstated because the cost of sales becomes smaller than it should be.
Similarly when the inventory was understated, the cost of sales is overdebited thereby
decreasing the net profit.
When a sales was made but no entry to record the receivable and sales account, the
profit and loss decreases.
and there are many more cases of errors of prior years that affects the profit and loss,
that need to be adjusted .
What is difficult here is how the inventory errors are to be corrected . there are two
types of inventory recording , ONE IS THE PERPETUAL INVENTORY METHOD and THE
PERIODIC INVENTORY METHOD.
The periodic inventory method is where an actual count is taken and the proper costing
is done. This actual inventory count shall be the basis in the recording of the INVENTORY
TO BE REFLECTED ON THE BALANCE SHEET , ANY ERRORS IN THE INVENTORY OF LAST
YEAR SHALL BE AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTED because the actual count and the actual cost
shall be used to value the ending inventory.
Last year the inventory was counted and there are 4 units at 3.00 per unit or total cost of
12.00 . Unfortunately 22.00 was actually recorded as the inventory amount ., therefore
last year, the inventory is overstated by 10.00 therefore the cost of sales is understated by
10.00 making the profit bigger than it should be.
This year let us say, there is transaction, just to simply the matter, but again an
inventory was counted and the count is expectedly to be 4 units at 3.00 per unit. or a
total value of 12.00 Of course , since we are using the PERPETUAL INVENTORY METHOD,
the actual inventory value should appear on the balance sheet, since the present balance
of the inventory in the balance sheet is 22.00 ( since no purchase no sales was made ) this
22.00 should be adjusted to make it 12.00 because 12.00 is the actual inventory. So that
this year , the cost of sales is overstated by 10.00, because when you CLOSE the existing
22.00 pesos BEGININNING INVENTORY , you credit inventory account 22.00 and debit cost
of sales 22.00 and then you debit inventory account 12.00 and credit cost of sales 12.00
to set up the INVENTORY END. So the last year UNDERSTATEMENT OF COST OF SALES
( which is erroneous) is now offset by the OVERSTATEMENT this year.
that is why if it was said that the last year inventory is overstated or understand , there is
no need to adjust the inventory of last year and the capital of the partners, because, the
inventory was automatically adjusted anyway because of the perpetual system.
THE perpetual inventory method is where the THEORETICAL INVENTORY ACCOUNT
remains to be the INVENTORY REFLECTED ON THE BALANCE SHEET, no actual inventory is
taken and therefore the book balance remains to be the INVENTORY ON THE BALANCE
SHEET.
However, when the periodic inventory method is being used, where the actual inventory is
not being used to adjust the theoretical balance, any shortage, overage, wrong costing in
the actual inventory cost remains uncorrected, therefore year by year the book balance of
the INVENTORY ACCOUNT remains uncorrected, therefore , when periodic inventory
method is used , and suddenly when an actual count is conducted on the inventory at the
end of the year after the books are closed, then a correcting entry has to be made TO
ADJUST THE CAPITAL OF EACH PARTNER AND TO CORRECT THE INVENTORY ACCOUNT .
AS A RESULT OF THE ERROR IN INVENTORY VALUE THE PROFIT ALSO IS ERRONEOUS
BECAUSE OF THE WRONG INVENTORY VALUE.
ANY OTHER ERROR IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS , SAY OVER/ UNDER RECORDING OF EXPENSES
AND OR REVENUES, SAY , ACCRUAL OF EXPENSES, PREPAID EXPENSES, UNRECORDED
SALES , SHOULD NOT BE AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTED. It must be first check whether those
errors in previous years were not corrected the following year , if it is already adjusted
the following year , there is no need to adjust.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ARRANGEMENT OF PARTNERS TO BRING THEIR CAPITAL TO CONFORM WITH THEIR
PROFIT AND LOSS SHARING RATIO
The profit and loss sharing ratio is not automatically mean that this ratio is the ratio of
their capital to the total capital of the firm because that is not the only basis in
determining their sharing ratio.
There are three system that would bring their capital balance to their sharing ratio
1. if after the establishment of the supposed capital to conform with sharing ratio,
partners should pay from their own money the partner whose revised capital increases.
an entry has to be made to effect this changes in capital.
2. whoever has the original capital THAT when divided by his ratio will produce the
highest supposed capital SHALL MAINTAIN HIS ORIGINAL CAPITAL. the firm shall pay the
partners.
.
3. any partner whose original capital when divided by his share result to the lowest
supposed TOTAL CAPITAL OF THE FIRM will have to maintain his original capital. the rest
of the partners will have a lower desired capital. THE FIRM shall pay the partner whose
capital did not changed and charged or debited to the capital account of the other
partners.
EXAMPLE:
A, B , C has a sharing ratio of 45%, 30%, 25%, their capital are 30,000 , 25,000, 5000
a total of 60,000.00.
ISSUE:
1. what would be the SUPPOSED TOTAL OF CAPITAL of each partner to attain the profit
sharing ratio
2. how much would be the SUPPOSED TOTAL CAPITAL if any partner capital when divided
by his ratio will produced the highest SUPPOSED CAPITAL OF THE FIRM.
3. how much would be the DESIRED CAPITAL if any partners capital divided by his ratio will
produce the lowest total capital of the firm.
Since their present capital does not conform with their present ratio, SAY, A share ratio
si 45% but his capital divide 60 is 50%. all you have to do is multiply their ratio to the
present total capitalization to arrive at their supposed capital.
A 45% X 60,000 = 27,000 45% supposed capital (to pay C 3,000
B 30% X 60,000 = 18,000 30% supposed capital (to pay C 7,000
C 25% X 60,000 = 15,000 25% to receive money or equivalent from A , B, total
10,000.
journal entry:
Since, B when dividing his capital to his ratio of 30% result to the highest supposed total
capital of 83,333.33 his capital should remain the same
A and C now should put up additional investment to bring their capital to 45%, 25%
respectivelly
cash 23,333.33
A CAP 7500
C CAP 15,333.33
SOLUTION NO.for 3.
this is the reverse of no. 2. what is being determined here is whose capital when divided
by its ratio will produce the lowest DESIRED CAPITAL, since , C dividing 5000 by 25% result
to 20,000 which is the lowest supposed capital., his original capital should remain the
same.
PARTNERSHIP FORMATION:
CASE NO. 1
X, AND A form a partnership and agree to share profit and loss in the ratio of 64.7%,
35.3% respectively. they have both owners of their own business and they have had the
following balance sheets.
make the opening entry int he new partnership under the following assumptions.
Reminder.
1 net investment method is whatever they brought to the firm is their investment/
2. when capital must be equal , and no bonus nor goodwill given then , an additional
investment is needed.
3. when they want to bring their capital equal OR EVEN UNEQUAL but no investment to be
made by other partner then a bonus is expected.
4. when no bonus but the capital of the partner will equal or went up then a goodwill is
recognized OR WHEN A GOODWILL WILL BE RECOGNIZED FOR BOTH PARTNERS , THAT
MEANS THE TOTAL CAPITALIZATION WILL INCREASE BY THE TOTAL GOODWILL.

REQUIRED:
1. compute the average capital
2. compute the interest
3. net income is 55,000 and that bonus is treated as expense , make a distribution sched.
5. net income is 30,000 and bonus treated as distribution of profit, make sched.
I repeat, when bonus is treated as expense the , the bonus is computed based on net
income before bonus. If bonus is treated as distribtution of profit then bonus computed
based on net income after bonus.
Remember in computing the base amount of the bonus rate of 15% which is the net income
after bonus . you have to to determine the equivalent percentage of the 30,000 by
worked back approach, remember the 30,000 is not the 100% because it is not the base
amount to multiply the 15% bonus.
Each partner to receive 5% interest based their capital contribution. A to receive salary
of 10,000 and B 6,000 chargeable to expense.
Required .
1. calculate the amount of profit , in order that A, may received an aggregate of 25,000 ,
that 25,000 , the interest , the salaries , share of profit is already there.
2, suppose the profit is 35,000 , what would the distribution of profit.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The new partner may purchase a portion or the whole interest of an old partner and this
called PURCHASE OF AN EXISTING INTEREST.
1. purchase AT book value. the purchase price is equal to the book value of equity, that
means the amount to be paid by the incoming partner is exactly equivalent to the share he
wants to acquire..
a. purchase of interest from one partner. - the payment is made directly to the
selling partner .
2. purchase above book value = the payment to be made by the buying partner is more
than the value of the equity to be sold. it may be on the following manner.
a. bonus method = the difference between the cash payment and the value of
the equity is considered bonus to the existing partners.
b. revaluation of assets method = that means the existing assets will be
overvalued in such a way that an assets will increase and therefore the capital accounts of
the existing partners will increase in accordance with their sharing ratio. the amount of
increase of the assets is computed based on the following principle. WHEN A NEW
PARTNER INDICATES THAT HE WANTS TO PURCHASE THE EQUITY OF THE EXISTING
PARTNERS BY INDICATING HIS DESIRED RATIO ON THE TOTAL NEW CAPITAL , THE
TENDENCY IS IF YOU DIVIDE THE AMOUNT HE WANTS TO PAY BYHIS DESIRED SHARE RATIO,
THE RESULTING ANSWER IS THE NEW ASSETS TOTAL WHICH IS BIGGER THAN THE
ORIGINAL , THAT DIFFERENCE SHALL BE CREDITED TO THE CAPITAL OF THE EXISTING
PARTNERS AND DEBITED TO THE AFFECTED ASSETS.
C. goodwill method = that means the existing partner argues that they have
develop a goodwill on their business and therefore a goodwill value will be credited first
to their account.
======================================================================
IN PURCHASE BELOW BOOK VALUE , THERE IS NO GOODWILL ACCORDED TO THE NEW
PARTNER.
======================================================================
EXAMPLE :
A, B, are partners ,sharing 60%, 40%, the following are their balance sheet.
Mr. X , wants to purchase 20% of the share of the A, B at 100,00.
the entry is :
CAPITAL A 60,000
B 40,000
CAPITAL X 100,000
the 60,000 is arrived by 60% share of A x 100,000= 60000, 40% x 100,000= 40,000
Why debited to capital of A, B , because they sell their part of their capital.
Mr. X agrees to purchase 30% at 175,000 . Since 30% of 500,000 is 150,000 only but X is
willing to pay 175,000, that means A , B will divide the 25,000 among themselves
privately . that means the 25,000 will not go the firm.
.

IN THIS REVALUATION OF ASSETS, YOU SHOULD ASSUME THAT AUTOMATICALLY THE NEW
PARTNERS CAPITAL WILL BE THAT AGREED SHARE AMOUNT DIVIDE THE AGREED SHARE
RATIO FOR HIS CAPITAL, then you get the new capital . IN THIS ASSUMPTION THE
TENDENCY IS TO HAVE A BIGGER TOTAL NEW CAPITAL OR A BIGGER TOTAL ASSETS , THAT
INCREASE OF THE TOTAL ASSETS SHALL BE CREDITED TO THE EXISTING PARTNER.
AFTERWHICH THE CAPITAL OF THE EXISTING PARTNER WILL BE REDUCED AS A RESULT OF
THE PURCHASE OF THE NEW PARTNER.
Mr X agrees to by 20% of the share of the partnership at 200,000. . That means , his
share must be equivalent to 20% of the total capital, therefore the supposed capital of the
new partnership must be 1,000,000, 200,000 divide 20% =1000000
Now since the agreement is a REVALUATION OF ASSETS, THE PRESENT ASSETS OF
500.000 must be made to become 1000000, therefore an assets shall be debited to
increase the total assets by 500,000 to make it 1,000,000. If assuming the LAND was the
one revalued then it is debited to LAND ACCOUNT.
LAND 500,000
A CAPITAL 300,000 500000 x 60%
B CAP 200,000 500,000 x 40%
to credit the account of A, B AS a result of increase in assets.
A B X total
original 300000 200000 500000
assets revaluation 300000 200000 500000
Selling 120,000 80,000 200,000 -
total 480000 320000 200000 1000000
THIS IS basically the same with REVALUATION except that the assets will not be
revalued but the existing partner would argue that their business has accumulated some
goodwill, therefore their capitalization must increase out of this goodwill. So the
GOODWILL ACOUNT will be debited and credited to the CAPITAL ACCOUNTS OF EXISTING
PARTNER.
========================================================================
3. PURCHASE BELOW BOOK VALUE BY WAY OF BONUS.= in this agreement , the
INCOMING PARTNER will be credited with a bigger amount compared with the amount he
will pay the existing partner.
Example:
MR. X wants to purchase 30% of partners capital but by paying 130,000. 30% of 500,000 is
150,000 as his capital credit but he will only pay the partners 130000 , that means he will
receive a bonus of 20,000.00
to record purchase of A , B CAPITAL By mr. X at 150,000 but paying only 120,000
EXAMPLE.
mR x TO PURCHASE EQUITY OF A, B at 135,000 to represent a share of 30%., that means
dividing 135,000 by 30%, = 450,000 which will be the value of the existing assets of
500,000.00 or a decrease of 50,000, this 50,000 shall be debited to the account of the
existing partner and credited to the appropriate asset account.
entry:
A CAP 30,000
B CA P 20,000
ASSET ACCOUNT 50,000
TO reduce the capital of A, B , to reflect the revaluation of assets and the reduction of
assets due to revaluation..
A CAP 81000
B CAP 54000
X CAPITAL 135000
=========================================================================
SIMILARLY IT HAS THE SAME METHOD OF VALUING THE INVESTMENT OF THE INCOMING
PARTNER.
1. INVESTMENT AT BOOK VALUE - this is where the amount of investment when added to
the existing capital of the old partner equals an AMOUNT, when multiplied to the agreed
share ratio of the new partner will equal to his investment . or when the agreed capital
multiply by the share ratio of the new partner equals the amount invested by the new
partner.no more no less.
example:
a. BONUS METHOD - this is situation where the amount you put in the
partnership is more than what you will be credited to your capital account. , that
means , that excess shall be credited to the old partner as A BONUS that the new partner
will give to the old partner. Of course this is a precomputed thing, they agreed that
capital of the old partner will increase by a certain amount represented by a bonus, that
amount now will be added to the agreed share of the new partner and that amount will be
the cash outlay of the new partner.
If the equivalent share ratio of the new partner multiplied by the FINAL CAPITAL , is
said to be your capital credit,, IF THE AMOUNT OF YOUR ACTUAL MONEY INVESTED IS
MORE THEN THERE IS A BONUS TO THE OLD PARTNER.
EXAMPLE:
the agreement will specify the would be share ratio of the new partner against the
would be CAPITAL OR THE AGREED CAPITAL, IN THIS CASE, 25% IS share ratio of new
partner to the 900,000 which is exactly 225,000. But since the incoming partner cash
outlay is 300,000 that means the excess of 75,000 shall be credited to the old partner
based on their existing sharing ratio, courtesy of new partner.
b. GOODWILL METHOD - this time the investment amount of new partner and the
amount to be credited to him is the same unlike in bonus method.. the agreed total
capital minus the capital credit of the new partner would equal to the new capital of the
old partner, where this new capital is more than their original capital , because the old
partner argued that they have established or develop a business GOODWILL THEY
IMPUTED ON THEIR BUSINESS, that goodwill be credited to the old partner capital, based
on sharing ratio. THAT MEANS IN GOODWILL, THE EXACT AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT OF NEW
PARTNER IS SURELY CREDITED TO HIS ACCOUNT, UNLIKE IN BONUS THE AMOUNT GIVEN IS
NOT THE AMOUNT CREDITED.
EXAMPLE:
the new partner will contribute 130,000 and this amount is EXACTLY 162/3 % of the
agreed capital 780,000 ( 130,000 divide 16.2/3% =780,000) deducting 130,000 from
780,000 is 650,000 which is the total adjusted capital of the old partner but since their
original capital is 600,000 , therefore a GOODWILL OF 50,000 WILL BE CREDITED TO THEIR
ACCOUNT BASED ON THEIR SHARING RATIO.
if the problem says 16 2/3% share of new partner and the agreed capital is 780,000, to
get the amount to be contributed by new partner , simply multiply 16 2/3 by 780,000.00 .
PRESENTATION:
GOODWILL-
=======================================================================
There is a situation wherein BOTH BONUS AND GOODWILL ARE GIVEN TO THE OLD
PARTNERS..
Example:
a new partner will contribute say 150,000, BUT it says his new share ratio is 16 2/3% of
the the AGREED CAPITAL of 840,000. .
SINCE THIS 16 2/3% OF THE AGREED CAPITAL IS ONLY 140,000, BUT HE PAYS 150,000 THAT
MEANS THE NEW PARTNER WILL ONLY BE CREDITED UP TO 140,000 BUT THE NEW PARTNER
WILL INVEST 150,000 therefore there is an EXCESS OF 10,000 WHICH will be credited to
the account of the existing partner.
Now after the 140,000 and the 10,000 was credited to their individual capital, the total
capital is only 750,000, but the agreed capital should be 840,000, therefore , the old
partner will received a GOODWILL OF 90,000.
PRESENTATION:
A B C TOTAL
OLD PARTNER EXISTING CAP 420,000 180,000 600000
NEW PARTNER ACTUAL CASH 150,000 150000
BONUS 7000 3000 ( 10000) 0
ANOTHER EXAMPLE:
THIS TIME BONUS TO NEW PARTNER. THIS IS REVERSE OF THE BONUS TO OLD PARTNER.
NEW PARTNER TO INVEST 120,000 BUT WITH 20% SHARE ON THE NEW CAPITAL OF
720,000.
Here 20% of of the final capital is 144,000, but the new partner invest only 120,000,
therefore a bonus is given to the new partner because he contributes only 120,000 but his
capital account was credited of 144,000 , the 24,000 will be debited to the capital
account of the old partner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOODWILL TO THE NEW PARTNER
EXAMPLE:
NEW PARTNER TO INVEST 300,000 BUT 40% SHARE ON THE FINAL CAPITAL OF 1,000,000.
The new partner should have invested 400,000 , 40% of 1,000,000 but he invested only
300,000 , therefore he was given bonus by the old partner, so the 100,000 shall be debited
to the account of the old partner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example. new partner invest 160,000 but his share ratios 25% of final capital of
780,000.00 . If you multiply 25% of 780,000 , the new partner will be credited 195,000.
Since goodwill is computed as ff:\\
AGREED CAPITAL 780,000
CONTRIBUTED CAP 760,000
GOODWILL 20,000
THIS IS QUITE DIFFERENT COMPARED TO BONUS GIVEN TO OLD PARTNER. IN THE BONUS
GIVEN TO OLD PARTNER THIS IS THE COMPUTATION
BUT IN GIVING BONUS TO NEW , BESIDES THE ACTUAL CASH INVESTMENT , THE GOODWILL
IS ADDED TO ARRIVE AT THE TOTAL CREDIT GIVEN TO THE NEW PARTNER AS SHOWN
ABOVE.
PRESENTATION
NEW TOTAL
EXISTING CAPITAL 420,000 180,000 600000
NEW PARTNER 160000 160000
TOTAL CONTRIBUTED CAP 760,000
bonus ( 10500 4500 ) 15000 -0
agreed captial
780,000
goodwill 20,000
20,000
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN, THE BONUS OR THE GOODWILL is given to new partner but IS
NOT EXPRESS BUT ARE IMPLIED.
When a bonus is being given to the new partner , the amount contributed is lesser than
what is to be credited to him as capital. in this case what should be done in such a way
that his capital credit is more than his amount of contribution. the best way is to consider
the contributed capital as the agreed capital where the percent share is to be multiplied
to arrive at the amount to be credited to the new partner. Like this:
entry:
DEBIT , A B, C CAPITAL 2800
D CAP 2800
AS GOODWILL
When a goodwill is given to a new partner . similarly his actual contribution is lesser than
the amount to be credited to him, but the CAPITAL OF THE OLD PARTNER WILL NOT
CHANGED OR REDUCED, UNLIKE IN bonus.
If this is the case , that the old partners capital will not change , therefore , their capital
will the basis in computing the final capital and since new partner share is 20% , the old
partner has 80%, therefore:
JOURNAL entry
goodwill 3,500.00
D CAPITAL 3,500.00
