JK and MN are partners who share income and losses in the ratio of 3:2, respectively. On May 31, their capital balances were: JK $220,000 and MN $150,000. On that date, they agree to admit ST as a partner with a one quarter capital interest. ST invests $180,000 in the partnership under the bonus method: | ||||||||
a. What is JK’s capital balance after ST’s admittance? | ||||||||
b. What is MN’s capital balance after ST’s admittance | ||||||||
c. What capital amount is recorded for ST |
Solution:
Total Capital amount after admission of ST :
= $220,000 + $150,000 + $180,000
= $550,000
1/4th capital
interest to ST: = $550,000 x 1/4
= $137,500.
Bonus to old
partners on admission of New Partner = $180,000 -
$137,500
= $42,500.
Bonus is shared in the old partnership ratio.
JK's share of Bonus = $ 42,500 x 3/5
= $25,500
MN's share of Bonus = $42,500 x 2/5
= $17,000
a. JK's
capital balance after ST's admission =
$220,000 + $25,500
=
$245,500
b. MN's
capital balance after ST's admission =
$150,000 + $17,000
=
$167,000
c. Capital Amount recorded for ST = $137,500.
Note:
In the given question some matter is missed. I have a full question that is "JK and MN are partners who share income and losses in the ratio of 3:2, respectively. On May 31, their capital balances were: JK $220,000 and MN $150,000. On that date, they agree to admit ST as a partner with a one quarter capital interest. ST invests $180,000 in the partnership under the bonus method". I am answered for this. Once check it.
Thank you.
