Partnership Formation & Admission of a Partner
Partnership
I. Introduction
A partnership is defined as an association of two or more persons who contributes money,
property or industry to a common fund with the intention of dividing the profits among
themselves. Accounting for partnerships should comply with the legal requirements as set forth
by the Partnership Law as Well as complying with the partnership agreement itself.
//. Partnership Formation and Capital Accounts

All assets contributed to the partnership are recorded by the partnership at their agreed values
(or fair market values, in the absence of agreed values). All liabilities that the partnership
assumes are recorded at their net present values. Thus, if a partner contributes a noncash
asset to the partnership (e.g., land or equipment) subject to mortgage, the contributing partner's
capital account is credited for the agreed value (or fair values) of the noncash asset less the
mortgage assumed by the partnership.
The capital account is an equity account similar to the shareholders' equity accounts in a
corporation. It is used to account for permanent withdrawals and additional contributions. Other
important accounts include a drawing account and loans to or from partners. The drawing
account is used to account for net income or loss and personal or normal withdrawals, i.e.,
share against net income. It is closed at the end of the period into the capital account. Loan
accounts are set up for amounts intended as loans, rather than as additional capital
investments. In liquidation proceedings, a loan to or from a partner is in essence treated as an
increase or decrease in a partner's capital account.
///.Division of Profits and Losses

As a rule profits and losses are allocated based on agreement.
Methods
Various methods
Exist for the division of partnership profits and losses including the following:
1. Equally,
2. Arbitrary ratio,
3. Capital contribution ratio:
a. Original Capital or initial investment
b. Beginning Capital of each year
c. Average Capital
d. Ending Capital of each year
4. Interest on capital balance and/or loan balances and the balance on agreed ratio,
5. Salaries to partners and the balance on agreed ratio,
6. Bonus to partners and the balance on agreed ratio,
Partnership Formation & Admission of a Partner - Lecture Page 3

Advance Accounting
a. Bonus as an "expense" in computing the bonus amount. Here, bonus is computed

based on net income after bonus.
b. Bonus as a distribution of profit. Here, the bonus is computed based on net income
before deducting the bonus.
7. Interest on capitals and/or loan balances, salaries to partners, and bonus to partner and
the balance on agreed ratio.
The method of division to be used in any given situation is generally the method specified in
the partnership agreement. This agreement must always be consulted first, since it is legally
binding on the partners. If no profit and loss sharing arrangement is specified in the partnership
agreement, the partnership requires that profits and losses be shared according to capital
contribution. Capital contribution should be interpreted to be original capital/beginning capital
of each year in the absence of original capital; similarly, if the agreement specifies how profits
are to be shared but is silent as to losses, losses are to be shared in the same manner as
profits. Notice that the profit and loss sharing ratio is totally independent of the partners'
ownership interests. Thus, two partners may have ownership interests of 70% and 30% but
share profits and losses equally.
IV. Dissolution
A. Admission of a New Partner
A new partner may be admitted to the partnership by purchasing the interest of one or more of
the existing partners or by contributing cash or other assets (i.e., investment of additional
capital). These two situations are discussed below.
1. Purchase of Interest - When a new partner enters the partnership by purchasing the
interest of an existing partner, the price paid for that interest is irrelevant to the
partnership accounting records because it is a private or personal transaction between
the buyer and seller. The assets and liabilities of the partnership are not affected. The
capital account of the new partner is recorded by merely reclassifying the capital account
of the old partner.
2. Admission by Investment of Additional Assets - A new partner may be granted an
interest in the partnership in exchange for contributed assets and/or goodwill (e.g.,
business expertise, an established clientele, etc.). The admission of the new partner and
contribution of assets may be recorded on the basis of the bonus method.
Bonus method
This method is based upon the historical cost principle. Admittance of a new partner involves
debiting cash or other assets for the FMV of the assets contributed and crediting the new
partner's capital for the agreed (i.e., purchased) percentage of total capital. Total capital equals
the book value of the net assets prior to admittance of the new partner, plus the FMV of the
assets contributed by the new partner. A difference between the FMV of the assets contributed
Partnership Formation & Admission of a Partner Page 4

and the interest granted to the new partner results in the recognition of a bonus.
a. No bonus recognized - When an incoming partner's capital account (ownership interest)
is to be equal to his purchase price, the partnership books merely debit cash or other
assets and credit capital.
b. Bonus granted to the old partners - When the FMV of the assets contributed by an
incoming partner exceeds the amount of ownership interest to be credited to his capital
account, the old partners recognize a bonus equal to this excess. This bonus is allocated
on the basis of the same ratio used for income allocation (unless otherwise specified in
the partnership agreement). Recording involves crediting the old partners' capital
accounts by the allocated amounts.
c. Bonus granted to new partner - An incoming partner may contribute assets having a
FMV smaller than the partnership interest granted to that new partner. Similarly, the new
partner may not contribute any assets at all. The incoming partner is therefore presumed
to contribute an intangible asset, such as managerial expertise or personal business
reputation. In this case, a bonus is granted to the new partner, and the capital accounts
of the old partners are reduced on the basis of their profit and loss ratio.
Goodwill method.
In PFRS No. 3, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the business combination over
the fair value of the identifiable net assets obtained. Therefore, the standard provides that
goodwill attaches only to a business as a whole and is recognized only when a business is
acquired. This provision of PFRS No. 3 outlawed the use of the goodwill method in partnership
accounting particularly admission and retirement of a partner because there is no business
involved. The term "business" is defined in the Appendix A of PFRS No. 3 as:
An integrated set of activities and assets conducted and managed for the purpose of providing:
{a) a return to investor; or
[b) Lower costs or other economic benefits directly and proportionately to policyholders or
participants.
A business generally consists of inputs, processes applied to those inputs, and resulting
outputs that are, or will be, used to generate revenues. If goodwill is present in a transferred
set of activities and assets, the transferred set shall be presumed to be a business.
Refer to Appendix of this chapter for further discussion and illustration.
Note to the Examinees:
According to PFRS No. 3, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the business
combination over the fair value of the identifiable net assets obtained. Therefore, the standard
provides that goodwill attaches only to a business as a whole and is recognized only when a
business is acquired. This provision of PFRS No. 3 outlawed the use of the goodwill method in
partnership particularly admission and retirement of a partner because there is no business
involved.
