Problem 2
The capital accounts of the Lee, Monroe and Newport partnership at December 31, 2018, together with profit and loss sharing ratios are as follows:
Lee (20%) 130,000
Monroe (30%) 200,000
Newport (50%) 170,000
The partners agree to admit Olson into the partnership.
REQUIRED: Prepare the journal entry or entries to admit Olson into the partnership under each of the following independent assumptions.
case 1. New partnership ratio:
Partners | lee | Monroe | Newport | Olson |
Present share | 20 | 30 | 50 | 0 |
Transferred to oslon | 0 | (30% of 30) =9 | (30% of 50) = 15 | 24 |
New ratio | 20 | 21 | 35 | 24 |
Consideration of profit share = $120000
Received by Monroe = 120000*9/24 =45000
Received by Newport = 120000*15/24 =75000
If received personally, then no entry wll be passed because only profit sharing ratio will be changed but capital will be same.
Case 2. paid 120000 for 25% share
Partners | lee | Monroe | Newport | Olson |
Present share | 20 | 30 | 50 | 0 |
Transferred to oslon | (25*20/100) =5 | (25*30/100) =7.5 | (25*50/100) =12.5 | 25 |
New ratio | 15 | 22.5 | 37.5 | 25 |
Consideration of profit share = $120000
Received by lee = 120000*5/25 =24000
Received by Monroe = 120000*7.5/25 =36000
Received by Newport = 120000*12.5/25 =60000
Journal entry:
Lee capital a/c 24000
Monroe capital a/c 36000
Newport capital a/c 60000
To olson capital a/c 120000
(Being capital contribution by new partner adjusted with old partner capital in their sacrificing ratio)
CAse 3: If revaluation done:
Present total net assets = 130000+200000+170000 =$500000
As per contribution by new partner capital should be = 120000/25% =$480000
So revaluation of 20000 downwards should be done. revaluation loss to be borne in old profit sharing ratio
Received by lee = 20000*20/100 =4000
Received by Monroe = 20000*30/100 =6000
Received by Newport = 20000*50/100 =10000
Now, the capital contribution by new partner will be $120000. So,
Partners | lee | Monroe | Newport | Olson |
Present share | 20 | 30 | 50 | 0 |
Transferred to oslon | (25*20/100) =5 | (25*30/100) =7.5 | (25*50/100) =12.5 | 25 |
New ratio | 15 | 22.5 | 37.5 | 25 |
Received by lee = 120000*5/25 =24000
Received by Monroe = 120000*7.5/25 =36000
Received by Newport = 120000*12.5/25 =60000
Journal entry:
Lee capital a/c 24000
Monroe capital a/c 36000
Newport capital a/c 60000
To olson capital a/c 120000
(Being capital contribution by new partner adjusted with old partner capital in their sacrificing ratio)
Case 4: For 15 % profits he is paying, $100000, value of firm will be (100000/15%) =$666.667
New profit sharing ratio:
Partners | lee | Monroe | Newport | Olson |
Present share | 20 | 30 | 50 | 0 |
Transferred to oslon | (15*20/100) =3 | (15*30/100) =4.5 | (15*50/100) =7.5 | 15 |
New ratio | 17 | 25.5 | 42.5 | 15 |
New capital should be | (666,667*17%)=113333 | (666,667*25.5%)=170000 | (666,667*42.5%)=283334 | (666,667*15%)=100000 |
Present capital | 130000 | 200000 | 170000 | 0 |
Capital to be introduced/(withdrawn) | (16667) | (30000) | 113334 | 100000 |
Journal entry:
Lee capital a/c 16667
Monroe capital a/c 30000
To Cash a/c 46667
(Being cash paid for adjusting capital)
Cash a/c 213334
To Newport capital a/c 113334
To olson capital a/c 100000
(Being cash received for adjusting capital and capital contribution)
