The Prince-Robbins partnership has the following capital account balances on January 1, 2018: Prince, Capital $ 90,000 Robbins, Capital 80,000 Prince is allocated 60 percent of all profits and losses with the remaining 40 percent assigned to Robbins after interest of 9 percent is given to each partner based on beginning capital balances. On January 2, 2018, Jeffrey invests $49,000 cash for a 20 percent interest in the partnership. This transaction is recorded by the goodwill method. After this transaction, 9 percent interest is still to go to each partner. Profits and losses will then be split as follows: Prince (50 percent), Robbins (30 percent), and Jeffrey (20 percent). In 2018, the partnership reports a net income of $19,000. Prepare the journal entry to record Jeffrey’s entrance into the partnership on January 2, 2018. Determine the allocation of income at the end of 2018.
Solution 1:
Ratio of profit between Prince and robbin = 3:2
Capital Introduced by Jeffrey = $49,000
Jeffery share in Partnership = 20%
Therefore required partnership capital on the basis of capital introduced by Jeffery = $49,000/20% = $245,000
Total capital after new capital introduced by Smith = $90,000 + $80,000 + $49,000 = $219,000
Therefore Goodwill = $245,000 - $219,000 = $26,000
Goodwill will be distributed in Prince and robbin in old profit sharing ratio of 3:2
Prince share = 26000/5*3 = $15,600
Robbin Share = 26000/5*2 = $10,400
