Solution and Explanation

1. D. The requirement is Munoz’ capital account balance upon formulation of the partnership. As in
the case with all entities, investment in the capital of a partnership should be measured at the fair
market value of the assets contributed. In this case, the FMV of the land would be measured at the
fair market value by its sales price on the date of sale (P50,000) which is also the date of the
partnership formation. Recording the land of Munoz’ cost would result in the partners sharing the
gain from the sale in accordance with their profit and loss ratio. This is not equitable since the gain
accrued while the land was held by Monuz.

2. A. Under the admission by purchase only the transfer of the capital purchase by the selling
partner (Liz) to the buying partner (Sunshine) is recorded. Therefore 50% of the capital of Liz
(P24,000) or P 12,000 is to be debited to her capital account.

3. A. P 290,000.00

Assets contributed by Pablo P 370,000

Less: Mortgage assumed by partnership (80,000)
Capital balance of Pablo P 290,000

Note that the profit and loss sharing ratio is irrelevant to the solution of this problem.

C 
Jones Smith
Assets at fair value
Jones: 80,000+400,000 480,000

 10. MM, NN, and OO are partners with capital balances on December 31, 2012 of P300,000,
P300,000 and P200,000, respectively. Profits are shared equally. OO wishes to withdraw
and it is agreed that OO is taken certain equipment with second-hand value of P50,000 and
a note for the balance of OO’s interest. The equipment are carried on the books at P65,000.
Brand new equipment may cost P80,000. Compute for: (1) OO’s acquisition of the second-

from the partnership’s liquidation,
a. (1) 15,000 each for MM and NN (2) 150,000
b. (1) 5,000 each for MM, NN, and OO (2) 145,000
c. (1) 5,000 each for MM, NN, and OO (2) 195,000
d. (1) 7,500 each for MM and NN (2) 145,000

B
1. Reduction in Capital:
Equipment at carrying value 65,000
Equipment at secondhand value (fair value) 50,000

Decrease in equipment 15,000

Multiply by: Profit & Loss Ratio of MM, NN,and OO 1/3
Reduction in capital 5,000

2. Notes Payable to OO
Unadjusted Capital of OO 200,000
Less: Share in the decrease of equipment 5,000
Adjusted capital of OO 195,000
Less: Equipment receive at secondhand value 50,000
Value of notes payable 145,000

Incidentally, the juournal entry would be:

OO, Capital 200,000
NN, Capital 5,000
MM, Capital 5,000
Eqipment, carrying value 65,000
