Some partnerships, at some point in time, may discontinue its operation or otherwise
continue but with a different composition or structure, perhaps with a new partner or in another
instance where an old partner disassociates himself from the partnership. This process is called
dissolution. Partnership Dissolution is defined in Article 1825 of the Civil Code of the Philippines
as the change in the relation of the partners caused by any partner ceasing to be associated in the
carrying out of the business. Dissolution also refers to the termination of the life of an existing
partnership. This process does not, however, take into account whether or not the partnership
will resume its operation. When the business has totally terminated business activities and
winded up of its affairs in preparation for going out of business, the process is called liquidation.
Admission by Purchase
A new partner is admitted in an existing partnership, after the approval of course of ALL
the current partners. Consequentially the old partnership dissolves and a new partnership
contract will be prepared. Terms such as purchase, sells, pays, bought, acquire, sold and
transferred denote admission by purchase.
The only entry required on the partnership books is the recording of the transfer of
capital from the capital account of the selling partner to that of the buying partner. The amount
When the new partner pay more than or less than the book value of the interest sold by
the old partner will result in a gain or loss in the transaction. This gain or loss is considered a
personal gain or loss of the partner selling his share and not of the partnership; therefore no gain
or loss is recognized in the partnership books.
Sample Problem.
Maliksi and Matabil are partners with capital balances of P250,000 and P75,000
respectively. They share profits and losses 60% and 40% respectively. Mayumi will be admitted
as a new partner.
The partnership will only record the transfer of the ¼ interest from Maliksi to Mayumi.
The payment of P62,500 cash by Mayumi to Maliksi is not recorded in the company books
because it is a personal transaction.
After the admission of Mayumi, the total capital of the partnership will still be P325,000
as shown below:
The partnership will only record the transfer of the ¼ interest from Maliksi and Matabil to
Mayumi. The payment of P81,250 cash made by Mayumi to Maliksi and Mayumi is not recorded
in the company books because it is a personal transaction. The amount paid is equal to the book
value of the acquired interest, therefore no gain or loss is recorded in the books.
The P75,000 paid by Mayumi to Maliksi and Matabil should not be shown in the
partnership books because the said amount was paid personally to the partners. The entry
reflected in the books would be the transfer of the ¼ capital of the old partners, P62,500 and
P18,750, respectively, to the new partner. The P6,260 difference will be a personal loss of Maliksi
and Matabil, the old partners.
The P85,000 paid by Mayumi to Maliksi and Matabil should not be shown in the
partnership books because the said amount was paid personally to the partners. The entry
reflected in the books would be the transfer of the ¼ capital of the old partners, P62,500 and
P18,750, respectively, to the new partner. The P3,750 difference will be a personal loss of
Mayumi, the new partner.
Keep in mind that from the foregoing cases, the transfer of capital from the old partners
to the new partner is recorded at book value notwithstanding the amount given up. The
payment, whether at more or less than the book value is recorded as if they are at book value.
Furthermore, the total partnership capital of P325,000 will remain the same after the transfer,
hence, total assets and total capital of the partnership is not affected.
Customarily, revaluation of assets of the old partnership is being done before the
admission of the new partner. The result of the revaluation of assets is carried to the capital
accounts of the old partners. The adjusted capital of the old partners becomes the basis for the
interest transferred to the new partner.
Maliwanag, the new partner, is to purchase 1/5 interest from the partners paying
P70,000. Prior to the admission of Maliwanag, the assets of the partnership will be revalued. The
amount to be paid by Maliwanag, P70,000, will be applied as the basis for the revaluation.
Supposing that a new profit and loss has not been agreed upon by the partnership, it
would be assumed that Maliwanag would have 1/4 (or 25%) share and the 3/4 (or 75%) would be
divided upon by the old partners based on the old profit and loss ratio.

Case A- Maginoo, the new partner will invest P75,000 for 20% interest in equity and in profit in
the new partnership capital of P375,000.
Upon the admission of Maginoo, as per agreement, the new partnership capital would be
P375,000, which is equal to the actual contributions of the old partners and new partner.

Case B- Maginoo, the new partner will invest P75,000 for 25% interest in equity and in profit in
the new partnership capital of P375,000. (BONUS TO NEW PARTNER)
After the admission of Maginoo, the total contributed capital balance would be P375,000
as agreed upon, with the total new partnership having the same amount. This would result to
Maginoo, the new partner being credited by P93,750 which is 25% of the new partnership
capitalization of P375,000. This would mean that from his contribution of P75,000, additional
capital would be transferred to him (amounting to P18,750) from the old partners to be able to
have a capital of P93,750. This occurrence is called BONUS where old partners transfer equity to
the new partner, or vice versa.

The transfer of capital from the old partners amounting to P18,750 will be divided based
on their old profit and loss ratio, as follows:
Case C- Maginoo, the new partner will invest P75,000 for 17% interest in equity and in profit in
the new partnership capital of P375,000. (BONUS TO OLD PARTNER)
After the investment of Maginoo, the total contributed capital balance of the partnership
would be P375,000 , the same as it has been agreed upon. This would result with Maginoo, the
new partner being credited by P63,750 which is 17% of the new partnership capital instead of his
actual contribution of P75,000. The difference amounting P11,250 would be transferred to the
capital of the old partners and will be divided based on the old profit and loss ratio. This transfer
of equity is called BONUS TO OLD PARTNERS.

Old cap credit P375,000 x 83% = P311,250
The transfer of capital from the new partners amounting to P11,250 will be distributed
based on the old partner’s capital, as follows:
Maharlika P11,250 x 35% = P3,937.50
Magarbo P11,250 x 35% = P3,937.50
Magiliw P11,250 x 30% = P3,375.00
Case D- Maginoo, the new partner will invest P75,000 for 15% interest in equity and in profit in
the new partnership capital of P500,000.
(REVALUATION OF ASSET- Old partners’ capital are affected)
After the admission of Maginoo, the total contributed capital balance of the partnership
would be P375,000 while the agreed capital would be P500,000, prompting a Revaluation of
Assets amounting to P125,000. This would result with Maginoo, being credited by P75,000 which
is 15% of the new partnership capital P500,000 which is the same as his original/actual
contribution. The old partners should have a capital credit of P425,000 (85% of the new
partnership capital of P500,000) after admission thus the revaluation will be effected on the old
partners’ capital and will be divided based on the old profit and loss ratio.

the new partnership capital of P350,000.
(Negative REVALUATION OF ASSET- Old partners are affected)
After the admission of Maginoo, the total contributed capital balance of the partnership
will be P370,000 while the agreed capital will be P350,000, prompting a Revaluation of Assets
amounting to P20,000. This would result with Maginoo being credited by P70,000 which is 20% of
the new partnership capital P350,000 (that is the same as his original/actual contribution). The
old partners should have a capital credit of P280,000 (80% of the new partnership capital of
P350,000) instead of the actual capital contribution of P300,000, thus the revaluation of P20,000
will be effected on the their capital accounts and will be divided based on the old profit and loss
ratio.
