Total ₱ 400,000
Liabilities ₱ 150,000
Axel, Capital 40,000
Barr, Capital 180,000
Cain, Capital 30,000
Total ₱ 400,000

The partners agreed to dissolve the partnership after selling the other asset for ₱200,000. Upon
dissolution of the partnership, Axel should have received
a. 0
b. 40,000
c. 60,000
d. 70,000

Problem 1-85:
Partners Almond, Barney, and Colors have capital balances of ₱20,000, ₱50,000, and ₱90,000,
respectively. They split profits in the ratio of 2:4:4, respectively. Under a safe cash distribution
plan, one of the partners will get the following total amount in liquidation before any other
partners get anything:
a. 0
b. 15,000
c. 40,000
d. 180,000

contribution
Store equipment 25,000

Capital balances 75,000 80,000 85,000

Noncash assets contributed by the partners into the partnership should be recorded at its fair
market value. In this case, the fair market value is the cash selling price of the computer and the
second hand value of the store equipment.

Problem 1-9: Suggested answer: (a) 592,000, 750,000

Atta Boy
Capital balances before adjustments 620,000 800,000
a. Uncollectible accounts receivable (20,000) (40,000)
b. Worthless inventories (6,000) (7,000)
c. Intangible assets written off (2,000) (3000)
Adjusted capital balances 592,000 750,000

When assets other than cash are invested into the partnership, it is necessary for the partners to
agree upon the value of such assets. The assets are recorded in accordance with the agreement
and the partners’ capital accounts are credited for the amounts of the respective investments.
The effects of the adjustments to the capital accounts should be in accordance with the
accounting equation (Asset = Liabilities + Capital).

Problem 1-15: Suggested answer: (b) 500,000, 450,000, 550,000

Alex Benjie Cesar

Contributions @ fair value ₱500,000 ₱800,000 ₱550,000
Less liabilities assumed - 350,000 -
Capital balance, 4/30/06 ₱500,000 ₱450,000 ₱550,000

Again, any noncash asset contributed into the partnership should be valued at the fair value of
the noncash asset contributed, any liabilities assumed by the partnership, reduces the partners’
capital balance. As a general guideline, what is to be recorded as a credit to partners’ capital is
the fair value of the net assets contributed.

Salary (20:30) 11,040 16,560 27,600
Total 11,040 16,960 2,000 30,000

Again, where income is not sufficient or an operating loss exists, two alternatives may be
employed: 1.) all provisions of the profit and loss agreement may be satisfied and any deficiency
will be absorbed using the profit and loss ratio; and 2.) each of the provision may be satisfied to
whatever extent possible. The second alternative, as applied above, requires that provisions of
the profit and loss agreement be ranked by order of priority.

Salaries, like interest on capital investments, are viewed as a means of allocating income rather
than as an expense. The drawing account is a temporary account and is periodically closed to
the partner’s capital account, and has nothing to do with the computation of net income.

When a partnership is in urgent need of additional funds or the partners may desire the services
of a certain individual, a new partner may be admitted with the provision that (a) part of the
capital of the old partners shall be allowed as a bonus to the new partner, or (b) goodwill shall
be established and credited to the new partner.
When the total contributed capital is equal to the agreed capital, there is bonus. In this case, the
amount by which the interest allowed to the new partner exceeds his investment may be
considered as bonus contributed by the old partners. The bonus is deducted from the capitals of
the old partners based in their original profit and loss ratio.

Problem 1-52:
a. Suggested answer: (b) 15,000

Contributed Agreed Increase

Capital Capital (Decrease)
Old partners
[235,000-(15% x 80,000) 223,000 260,000 37,000

Total 315,000 330,000 15,000

Again, when the total agreed capital is more than the contributed capital, there is
goodwill and this amount of ₱15,000 will be distributed to the old partners using their
original profit and loss ratio. However, in the above computations, it should be pointed
out that aside from goodwill, the new partner provides bonus to old partners in the
amount of ₱22,000 (decrease in the new partner’s capital).

b. Suggested answer: (c) 79,100

 Marc’s capital before Vince’s admission 80,000
Interest purchased by Vince (15% x 80,000) (12,000)
Share in goodwill (30% x 15,000) 4,500
Share in bonus (30% x 22,000) 6,600
Marc’s capital after Vince’s admission 79,100

When an incoming partner purchases a portion or all of the interest of one or more of
the original partners, the partnership assets remains unchanged and the related amount
paid for the purchase should not be recorded in the books of the partnership for this is
regarded as a personal transaction between the selling partner/s and the buyer.

Bonus to old partners is recorded by making transfer from the contributed capital of the
new partner to the old partners’ capital accounts, which gives the new partners a capital
credit less than his actual investment. While, Goodwill to old partners should be
recognized by a debit to Goodwill account, and the resulting credit should be to old
partners’ capital accounts allocated based on their profit and loss ratio.

Problem 1-53: Suggested answer: (d) 15,000

Ranken's capital (50% x 30,000) 15,000

When a new partner deals directly with an existing partner or partners rather than with the
partnership entity, the acquisition price is paid to the selling partner/s and not to the
partnership itself. The partnership records the redistribution of capital interests by transferring
all or a portion of the seller’s capital to the new partner’s capital account but does not record
the transfer of any asset or consideration.

Problem 1-58: Suggested answer: (d) 1,500

Total 210,000 210,000 -

Bonus to A (7,500 x 20%) 1,500

Under the bonus method of admitting a new partner into the partnership, the total contributed
capital (including that of the new partner) is equal to the new partnership capital. Accordingly,
any bonus to the old partners shall be allocated using their old profit and loss ratio.

Since all assets are distributed at one point in time rather than installments, this represents
simple liquidation. As assets are converted into cash, any differences between the book values
and the amounts realized represent gains or losses to be divided among partners in the profit
and loss ratio. Such gains and losses are carried to the capital accounts. The capital balances
then becomes the basis for settlement.

Priority 2 - Colors & Barney (25,000) (25,000)
Balances (P&L) 100,000 100,000 100,000

Since the question being asked is “one of the partners will get … before any other partners get
anything”, therefore, it is the partner under priority no. 1 (Colors). Colors shall received, under
priority no. 1, ₱40,000 (100,000 x 40%).
