Partnership Accounts

2. Definition
 Goodwill is the value of the reputation of a company.
 Goodwill Depends on
 Personal reputation of owners/management
 Reputation of goods /services= quality
 Peculiar advantage of the site of the business
 Peculiar advantage available with regards to sales or supplies
of materials
 Pantents, copyrights or trade marks owned by the firm

3. Valuation of goodwill
 Goodwill is valued in the following cases:
 Change of profit sharing ratio
 New partner is admitted
 Partner retires or dies
 Business is sold

4. Opening Goodwill Account
 Types NCA Dr Goodwill acc
Cr Partners Capital Accounts in the Old PSR
The recommended method is opening the Good will account method.

5. Valuation of goodwill
 Average Profits Basis- Profits of the past
few years are averaged and adjusted for
any changes expected in the near future.
The adjusted profits are multiplied by a
factor eg 2, 3, or 4= the answer is the
goodwill figure
 Super Profits Basis
Interest from Capital and Salaries of partners are
deducted from average profits what remains is
Super Profits Multiplied by number of years
purchase is agreed.

6. Valuation of goodwill
 Capitalization Method
Profit/ Normal Return X 100
Eg 85 000/15 x100 = 566,666
Deduct net assets from the figure then the answer is goodwill.

7. Change in Profit Sharing Ratio by Old Partners or
Introducing a New Partner
 A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio 3:1 if
it is decided that in future both will be equal, what it
means is that A is selling to B ¼ share of profits. B
will pay to A an amount equal to ¼ of value of
goodwill.
 This means a partner is buying profits that belonged
to another.

8. Goodwill and Partnership Accounts
 Although goodwill is not normally entered in the
books, partners own a share in the goodwill in
proportion to the profit sharing ratio.

9. Change in PSR
A and B are partners sharing profits A3/4 and B1/4.
The Capital accounts are A=90K and B30K. Its is
decided that with effect from 1st Jan 2012 the PSR
will be 5/8 and 3/8. The goodwill is valued at 2 years
purchase price of average profits of the last 3 years
which are 2008,42k;2009,39k;2010,45k.The
capitals of the two partners should be proportionate
to the psr. Calculate the new capital.

10. Change in PSR
 A current Capital = 90K
 A capital Account can be computed as follows: To
change it to 5/8 it has to be 90k x 4/3 x 5/8=75k
 ¾-5/8=1/8 A will sell 1/8 of his goodwill to B which
90-75=15k.
 Therefore A new capital account is 5/8x 120= 75k

11. Change in PSR
 B gains in PSR= 3/8-1/4=1/8=
B new Capital Acc calculated as follows: At a PSR of
1/3 B has a Capital Acc of 30k his new capital should
then be 30x4/3x3/8=45k

12. Admission of a New Partner
 Finding out a new profit sharing ratio where a new
partner is admitted and only the share of the new
partners is mentioned in new psr.
 A and B are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio 5:3.
They admit C and agree to give him 3/10 of the profits. Whats
the new psr?
 - C share of 3/10 deduct from 1 and get 7/10.
 Take the 7/10 and apply to old partners using the old psr.
A - 7/10 x 5/8= 35/80
B-7/10 x 3/8= 21/80
C 3/10 which is also 24/80

13. Admission of New Partner
 Where the new partner buys shares from only one
partner or from partners in different proportion.
 A and B sharing profit in the ratio of 5:3 admit C and
give him 3/10 of profits. IF C acquires his shares in
the following proportion A gives 4/20 and B gives
2/20.Whats the new psr?
- A =5/8-4/20= 17/40
-B = 3/8-2/20=11/40
- C= 3/8 or 12/40

14. Goodwill on Admission of New Partner
 First we must establish whether the new partner is
going to pay for the existing goodwill or not.
a. New Partners does not pay
Dr Good will account /Credit Partners using the old PSR.

15. Goodwill
 New Partners Chooses to Pay
 A) Pays directly to the partners at personal level and no entries
are captured in the partnership books.
 B) New partner pays into the Partnership Account. No
goodwill a/c.
 Dr Cash / Credit New Partners Capital Account
 Dr New Partners Capital Account and Credit Old Partners using
old PSR.

16. Revaluation of Partnership Assets
 Assets are recorded in the partnership accounts at
cost.
 Overtime the value of assets will reflect the true
market value.
 Assets should be revalued to reflect their worth so
that partners can get the true benefit or loss.
 Revaluation occurs when following happens
 A new partner is admitted
 Partner leaves firm
 Partners change profit sharing ratio.

17. Open a Revaluation Account
 For Each assets showing a gain
