Part 1 - Partnership Dissolution
Part 1 - Partnership Dissolution
It is agreed,
however, that R and S shall guarantee fees from their own clients of P 80,000 and P 50,000 respectively, that
any deficiency is to be charged directly against the account of the partner failing to meet his guarantee and
that any excess is to be credited directly to the account of the partner exceeding his guarantee. Fees eanred
by the partnership during the first year of operations were P 200,000 which included fees from clients of R, P
95,000, and fees from clients of S, P 40,000. Operating expenses for the year were P 100,000. By what
amount should the partners' capital account increase?
Dissolution - situation in which interest of ownership to the partnership among partners changes due to: (1)
admission of new partner, (2) withdrawal/death of a partner, or (3) incorporation of a partnership.
In the Philippines, if a partnership dissolution occurs, there is also a dissolution or change of the
partnership's TIN Number in the BIR because it will be considered as a new entity.
In dissolution, the old partnership is dissolved and a new partnership will be formed due to the admission of
a new partner.
The partnership records will only be affect by the transfer of interest/capital from the existing partner/s to
the new partner. The assets and liabilites of the partnership are not affected. The capital account of the new
partner is recorded by merely reclassifying the capital account of the old/existing partner/s. (transfer of
capital)
Any gain or loss will only be recognized by the buyer (new partner) or seller (existing partner/s) on their
separate books/accounting records.
Purchase price is ignored and not recorded by the partnership. The purchase price will go directly to the seller
of the capital interest. This will only be used as a basis for asset revaluation, given that no basis was
given/provided.
Only the capital balance of existing or old partner/s will be affected by such asset revaluation. Asset
revaluation can either be upward (increase in capital) or downward (decrease in capital).
Normally, asset revaluation is done prior to the admission of the new partner. Distribution of the asset
revaluation will be based on the original profit or loss ratio agreement of the existing partner/s.
For example, X, a new partner, bought 20% of the capital interest of the partnership. It is considered inclusive
of all existing partner/s at the time of the admission. But it can also be from a specific partner.
(Dr) Asset XX
(Cr) New Partner Capital XX
For the assets to be invested additionally, cash will be recorded at face value, non-cash assets will be
recorded either at agreed value or fair value. This will be the capital contribution of the new partner.
After computing for the new partner's capital conribution, the new partner's agreed capital or capital credit
will have to be computed. This may be equal or not to the capital contribution of the new partner.
CC (NP) = AC (NP)
a. TCC (new) = TAC (new) no: bonus, no asset revaluation.
CC (NP) = AC (NP)
b. TCC (new) > TAC (new) no: bonus but downward asset revaluation.
(negative asset; charged directly to capital
balance of existing partner/s)
CC (NP) = AC (NP)
c. TCC (new) < TAC (new) no: bonus but upward asset revaluation.
(positive asset; increases the capital
balance of existing partner/s)
Bonus will be allocated based on the original profit or loss ratio of the old partners. But, if there is a separate
agreement on the allocation of bonus, it must be stipulated in the problem. But generally, it is the P/L ratio.
Effect first the asset revaluation before the bonus. This is because asset revaluation usually happens before
the admission of the new partner. Asset revaluation is only affecting the existing partner/s.
CC (NP) < AC (NP)
a. TCC (new) = TAC (new) new
: partner will receive bonus; bonus will
decrease capital balance of existing
partner/s. (transfer of capital)
Problem 1: Valix was admitted in the partnership operated by Dayag, Guerrero, and Punzalan with a 20%
interest in the partnership by purchasing 30% of Dayag’s interest and 40% of Punzalan’s interest for a certain
amount. Capital balances of Dayag, Guerrero , and Punzalan along with their profit or loss ratio, prior to
Valix’s admission were as follows:
Case 1: Valix paid Dayag and Punzalan a total of P 120,000, which is divided between Dayag
and Punzalan in proportion to the equities given up, for his 20% interest in the
partnership.
Total 600,000
CC (NP) = AC (NP)
a. TCC (new) = TAC (new) : no bonus, no asset revaluation. (no
personal gain or loss to Dayag and
Punzalan)
To allocate the P 30,000 personal gain between Dayag and Punzalan, we have to use the capital transferred.
Generally, the personal gain is to be allocated based on ratio of the capital transferred.
5. How much is the personal gain of Dayag and Punzalan and P 30,000, gain
how should this be divided between Dayag and Punzalan?
If the problem stated that not all assets and/or liabilities are fairly valued, there is asset revaluation. If there
is no basis given, use the purchase price of P 150,000 for the new agreed capital.
Case 2.1: Valix paid Dayag and Punzalan a total of P 150,000, which is divided between Dayag
and Punzalan in proportion to the equities given up, for his 20% interest in the
partnership. (with asset revaluation)
TCC (new) < TAC (new) : upward asset revaluation; (asset increase;
capital balances of existing partner/s will
increase) use old P/L ratio.
If the amount of the asset or liability under/overvaluation is given, that will be the amount allocated (increase
or decrease) to the old partner/s. Still, this will be allocated based on their original P/L ratio.
Capital Contribution Asset Revaluation CC after A/Rev.
Dayag 240,000 60,000 300,000
Guerrero 240,000 60,000 300,000
Punzalan 120,000 30,000 150,000
Valix
Total 600,000 150,000 750,000
Case 3: Valix paid Dayag and Punzalan a total of P 100,000, which is divided between Dayag
and Punzalan in proportion to the equities given up, for his 20% interest in the
partnership.
To allocate the P 30,000 personal gain between Dayag and Punzalan, we have to use the capital transferred.
Generally, the personal gain is to be allocated based on ratio of the capital transferred.
5. How much is the personal gain of Dayag and Punzalan and P 20,000, loss
how should this be divided between Dayag and Punzalan? Dayag = P 12,000, loss
Punzalan = P 8,000, loss

On January 1, 2023, D is admitted to the partnership by purchasing 40% of the capital interest of B at a price
of P 500,000.
Capital Contribution Interest Bought (%) Purchase Agreed Capital
A 900,000 900,000
B 800,000 40% (320,000) 480,000
C 700,000 700,000
D 320,000 320,000
Total 2,400,000 2,400,000
On January 1, 2023, D is admitted to the partnership by investing P1,000,000 to the partnership for 20%
capital interest.
If all the assets of the existing partnership are properly valued, P 960,000
what is the capital balance of C after the admission of D?
On January 1, 2023, D is admitted to the partnership by investing P 500,000 to the partnership for 10% capital
interest. The total agreed capitalization of the new partnership is P 3,000,000.
Admission of a new partner is not only manner by which a partnership can undergo a change in composition.
Over the life of any partnership, partners may leave the organization. Thus, some method of establishing an
equitable settlement of the withdrawing partner’s interest in the business property is necessary.
The retiring partner may sell its interest to a new partner (e.g., D to E) and this will be
treated as a personal transaction outside of the partnership. (New - 1)
The retiring partner may also sell its interest to existing partner/s. (e.g., D to ABC)
Any transaction made will also be considered private and personal. (New - 2)
After buying the interest of D, the new partner will acquire 100% of the capital
balance. (assuming there is no asset revaluation)
Old Capital Balance New - 2 Capital Balance
A 100 A 150
B 120 B 170
C 130 C 180
D (retiring) 150
After buying the interest of D, the partnership will share the 100% of the capital
balance. (assuming the division is equal)
If D Receivable, the partner has a liability to the partnership. Thus, the settlement of E
will be 150 less the 30 for the payment of the loan of the partner.
If the partnership will buy D's interest, the amount of the loan will be aggregated
(either additional or deduction) to the settlement price they will pay to D.
3.1 Partnership
Compare the settlement amount with the capital interest.
a. SA = CI : no bonus, no asset
revaluation.
The bonus will be charged directly against the capital balances of the existing
partner/s on the basis of their remaining P/L ratio.
SA 10,000
CI 8,000
To D (upward) 2,000
After getting the asset revaluation, return to the first step which is to update the capital
balances. And proceed to the payment.
The bonus will be added directly to the capital balances of the existing partner/s on
the basis of their remaining P/L ratio.
Problem 3: Partners Gerber, Kenneth, and Boyet have capital balances of P 30,000, P 40,000, P 50,000
respectively on December 31, 2021. The partners share profit or losses in the ratio of 5:4:3, respectively.
During the calendar year 2021, the partnership suffered a net loss of P 18,000 and the withdrawal of each
partner are as follows: Gerber – P 4,000; Kenneth – P 2,500; Boyet – P 7,000. Boyet is not happy with the
partnership operation and has decided to withdraw as of December 31, 2021.
Case 1: Boyet received P 42,000 cash settlement of his interest in the partnership. The net
assets as of December 31, 2022 are fairly valued.
If the problem is silent, the settlement price already includes the payment for the loan payable or already
deducts the payment of the loan receivable. Usually, payment for the loan is a separate amount.
If the partnership wishes to revalue their assets, the partners may undergo asset revaluation before the
dissolution. All partners' capitals, from the remaining partner/s and the retiring partner, will be affected.
If there is no loan receivable or payable, the capital interest will be equal to the updated capital balance.
If there is a partial asset revaluation, the difference between the settlement amount and the capital interest
will be the total amount of asset revaluation. It is not needed to be grossed up.
