5. PP contributed P24,000 and CC contributed P48,000 to form a partnership, and they
agreed to share profits in the ratio of their original capital contributions. During the first year of
operations, they made a profit of P16,290; PP withdrew P5,050 and CC P8,000. At the start of
the following year, they agreed to admit GG into the partnership. He was to receive a one-
fourth interest in the capital and profits upon payment of P30,000 to PP and CC, whose capital
accounts were to be reduced by transfers to GG’s capital account of amounts sufficient to bring
them back to their original capital ratio.

7. Which of the following is not considered a legitimate expense of a partnership?  
    A. Interest paid to partners based on the amount of invested capital 
B. Depreciation on assets contributed to the partnership by partners 
C. Salaries for management hired to run the business 
D. Supplies used in the partners’ offices 
(Punzalan,
2014) 
         Solution/Explanation: 
         Correct Answer: D. Supplies used in the partners' offices  
         Because the members' offices are not deemed to be part of the firm, this kind of
expenditure is not accepted as a valid cost for a partnership. The members' offices are utilized  
for personal purposes only and do not include any business-related materials of any kind. 
        Other Option: 
       A. Interest accrued and distributed to partners depending on the total amount of money
invested 
            Because this is an expenditure that is directly tied to the amount of money that each
partner        
             has invested in the firm, it may be deemed a valid expense for a partnership. 
        B. Impairment on assets that the partners individually provided to the partnership 
             Because it is a cost that is directly tied to the contribution of the partners' assets to  
             the firm, this is taken into consideration to be a valid expense for a partnership. 
         C. Wages paid to management that has been brought in to operate the company 
              Since this is an expenditure that is directly tied to the running of the firm, this is   
              taken into consideration to be a valid cost for a partnership. 
 
8. In the AA-BB partnership, AA and BB had a capital ratio of 3:1 and a profit and loss ratio
of 2:1 respectively. The bonus method was used to record CC’s admittance as a new partner.
What ratio would be used to allocate, to AA and BB, the excess of CC’s contribution over the
amount credited to CC’s capital account? 
A. AA and BB’s new relative ratio. 
B. AA and BB’s new relative profit and loss ratio. 
C. AA and BB’s old capital ratio. 
D. AA and BB’s old profit and loss ratio. 
(Dayag 2013) 
   Solution/Explanation: 
           The bonus method implied that the old partner either received a bonus from the new
partner, or they paid   a bonus to the new partner. In this case, CC, the new partner invested an
amount in excess of the amount credited to CC’s capital account. Accordingly, the excess should
be treated as bonus to AA and BB. This bonus should be treated as an adjustment to the old
partners’ capital accounts and should be allocated by using AA and BB’s old profit and loss
ratio. 
   Correct Answer: (D) AA and BB’s old profit and loss ratio 
9. The following is the priority sequence in which liquidation proceeds will be distributed

16. Maxwell is trying to decide whether to accept a salary of P 40,000 or salary of P
25,000 plus a bonus of 10% of net income after salaries and bonus as a means of
allocating profit among partners. Salaries traceable to the other partners are estimated
to be P 100,000. What amount of income would be necessary so that Maxwell would
consider choices to be equal 
A. 165,000 
B. 290,000 
C. 265,000 
D. 305,000 
(Punzalan, 2016) 
   Solution: 
To equate P40,000 to P25,000 plus bonus, the bonus should amount to P15,000 (P40,000 –
P25,000).  
Based on the foregoing the following equation should be developed: 
Bonus = 10% (NI – Salaries – Bonus) 
P15,000 = .10 [NI – (P100,000+P25,000) – P15,000] 
P15,000 = .10 (NI –P140,000) 
P15,000 + P14,000 = NI 
P29,000/.10 = NI = P 290,000 
 
Correct Answer: (B) 290,000 
 
For numbers 17 and 18 refer to the problem below:

180,000 out of partnership funds for his interest. Total goodwill implicit in the
agreement is to be recorded. After Eddy’s retirement, what will be capital balances of
the other partners? 
Fox Grimm 
A. 84,000 56,000 
B. 102,000 68,000 
C. 108,000 72,000 
D. 120,000 80,000 
(Punzalan, 2016) 
Solution: 
          Amount paid...................................................................................... P 180,000 
              Less: BV interest of DD (50%).............................................................160, 000 
              Excess / Partial goodwill..................................................................... P 20,000 
              Divided by/capitalized at.................................................................... 50% 
              Total goodwill...................................................................................... P 40,000 
              Therefore, the capital of the remaining partners: 
               FF: [P96,000 + (P 40,000 x 30%)].................................................... P 108,000 
               GG: [P64,000 + (P40,000 x 20%)]...................................................  P 72,000  
 Correct Answer: (C) 108,000    72,000                      
                       The capital interest and profit and loss ratio are assumed to be the same. 
 
18. Assume instead that Eddy remains in the partnership and that Hamm is admitted
as a new partner with 25% interest in the capital of the new partnership for a cash
payment P140,000. Total goodwill implicit in the transaction is to be recorded.
Immediately after admission of Hamm, Eddy’s capital account balance should be 
 
 
A. 280,000 
B. 210,000 
C. 160,000 
D. 140,000 
  Solution/Explanation: 
       Hamm will be going to pay a cash of P140,000 for a 25% interest in the partnership. This
means that the net assets of the partnership, including the new investment, are worth P560,000
(P140,000 ÷ 25%). Net assets are currently reported at P320,000, and Hamm's cash payment of
P140,000 brings that total up to P460,000. Hence, implied goodwill is P100,000 [P560,000 -
(P320,000 + P140,000)]. When goodwill is recorded, the entry is, the goodwill account is
debited, and the partners' capital accounts are credited for their share of goodwill. Therefore,
Eddy's capital balance, which is P160,000 is increased by his share of the goodwill P50,000 (50%
× P100,000), resulting to a total capital balance of $210,000 (P160,000 + P50,000). 
    Correct Answer: (B) 210,000

24. On May 1, 2016, Cobb and Mott formed a partnership and agreed to share
profits and losses in the ratio of 3:7, respectively. Cobb contributed a parcel of land
that cost him P10,000. Mott contributed P40,000 cash. The land was sold for P18,000
on May 1, 2016, immediately after formation of the partnership. What amount should
be recorded in Cobbs’s capital account on formation of the partnership? 
A. 18,000 
B. 17,400 
C. 15,000 
D. 10,000 
(Punzalan, 2018) 
    Solution/Explanation: 
       The capital contributed by Cobb should be recorded at its fair value on the date of
contribution. The land was sold for 18,000 on the day it was contributed to the partnership.
Accordingly, this price is a reasonable measure of the fair value at that date. Cobb's capital
account should therefore be credited for 18,000. 
    Correct Answer: (A) 18,000 
 
For numbers 25 to26: 
The Grey and Redd Partnership was formed on January 2, 2016. Under the partnership
agreement, each partner has an equal initial capital balance. Partnership net income or loss
is allocated 60% to Grey and 40% to Redd. To form the partnership, Grey initially
contributed assets costing P30,000 with a fair value of P60,000 on January 2, 2016, and
Redd contributed P20,000 cash. Drawings by the partners during 2016 totaled P3,000 by
Grey and P9,000 by Redd. The partnership net income in 2016 was P25,000. 
(Punzalan 2018) 
 
25. Under the goodwill method, what is Redd’s initial capital balance in the partnership?  
A. 20,000 
B. 25,000 
C. 40,000 
D. 60,000 
 
         Solution: 
                                Contributed  Capital      Agreed Capital       Increase(Decrease)      
              Grey                    60,000                         60,000 
              Redd                   20,000                          60,000                   40,000 
              Total                   80,000                         120,000                  40,000 
           
        Correct Answer: (D) 60,000 
                The partnership agreement provides for equal initial capital. Thus, under the goodwill  
method, the capital credit for Redd  should  be  the  same  as  the  contribution  of Grey,
thereby increasing the total agreed capital to P120,000, which is P40,000 more than the total
contributed capital (goodwill). 
 
26.Under the bonus method, what is the amount of bonus? 
A. 20,000 bonus to Grey  
B.20,000 bonus to Redd 
C. 40,000 bonus to Grey 
D. 40,000 bonus to Redd 
 
      Solution: 
                                Contributed Capital      Agreed Capital       Increase(Decrease)      
              Grey                   60,000                         40,000                    (20,000) 
              Redd                   20,000                          40,000                   20,000 
              Total                   80,000                         80,000                    
 
      Correct Answer: (B) 20,000 bonus to Redd 
                      The partnership agreement provides  for  equal  initial  capital.  Thus, under
the         
               bonus method, the capital credit for Redd should be the same as the contribution for
Grey,   
               resulting to P20,000 bonus from Grey to Redd. 
 
27. If a partnership has net income of P44,000 and Partner X is to be allocated bonus of
10%      
of income after the bonus, what is the amount of bonus Partner X will receive? 
A. 3,000 
B. 3,300 
C. 4,000 
D. 4,400 
(Punzalan, 2018) 
Solution: 
Bonus = 10% (NI –Bonus) 
B = .10 (P44,000 –B) 
B = P4,400 -.10B 
1.10B = P4,400 
B = P4,000 
Correct Answer: (C) 4,000

        When a new partner deals directly with an existing partner or partners rather than
with the partnership entity, the acquisition price is paid to the selling partner/s and not to
the partnership itself. The partnership records the redistribution of capital interests by
transferring all or a portion of the seller’s capital to the new partner’s capital account but
does not record the transfer of any asset or consideration. 
        Correct Answer: (D) 15,000 
30. The following condensed balance sheet is presented for the partnership of Smith
and Jones, who share profits and losses in the ratio of 60:40, respectively: 
Other assets P 450,000 
Smith, loan 20,000 
   P 470,000 
 
Accounts payable P120,000 
Smith, capital 195,000 
Jones, capital 155,000 
   P 470,000 
The partners decided to liquidate the partnership. If the other assets are sold for
P385,000, what amount of the available cash should be distributed to Smith? 
A. 136,000 
B. 156,000 
C. 159,000 
D. 195,000 
(Punzalan, 2018) 
          Solution:  
                       When the partnership sells the other assets, it must recognize a loss of 65,000     
          (450,000 - 385,000). This loss must be allocated to the partners based on their loss  
          ratio of 60:40. Thus, Smith's capital account is reduced to 156,000 [195,000 -
(65,000x60%)]    
          and Jones's to 129,000 [155,000 - (65,000 x 40%)]. The accounts payable are then paid,
leaving  
         assets of 265,000. Finally, the balance of the loan is subtracted from Smith's capital
account   
         balance, and each partner receives the balance in his/her capital account. Thus, Smith
should  
         receive 136,000 in cash (156,000 - 20,000). 
           Correct Answer: (A) 136,000 
 
31. Flat and Iron partnership agreement provides for Flat to receive 20% bonus on
profits before bonus. Remaining profits and losses are divided between Flat and Iron in
the ratio 2:3, respectiviely. Ehich partner has greater advantage when the partnership
has a profit or when it has a loss 
 
A. Profit: Flat; Loss: Iron 
B. Profit: Flat; Loss: Flat 
C. Profit: Iron; Loss: Flat 
D. Profit: Iron; Loss: Iron 
(Punzalan, 2018) 
       Solution/Explanation: 
               When the partnership has a loss, Iron is allocated 60% and Flat 40%. Hence, flat
has             the advantage when the partnership has a loss. When the partnership has a profit,
Flat            receives 20% plus 40% of the remaining 80%, a total of 52% [20% + (40% × 80%)] – X.
Thus, Flat also has the advantage in this situation. 
                     
       Correct Answer: (B) Profit: Flat; Loss: Flat 
 
32. During 2016, Young and Zinc maintained average capital balances in their
partnership of 160,000 and 100,000, respectively. The partners receive 10% interest on
average capital balances and residual profit, or loss is divided equally. Partnership profit
before interest was 4000. By what amount should Zinc’s capital account change for the
year? 
A. 11,000 decrease 
B. 2000 increase 
C. 1000 decrease 
D. 12000 increase 
(Punzalan, 2018) 
    Solution/Explanation: 
                 The partners are to receive 10% interest and then split the residual profit or loss.   
             Because interest exceeds partnership profit before interest, the residual loss is
22,000            
              {[(160,000 +100,000) x 10%] - 4,000). Zinc's capital balance is increased by 10,000    
              (100,000 x 10%) and decreased by 11,000 (22,000 loss x 50%), a net decrease of 1,000. 
     Correct Answer: (C) 1000 decrease 
33. Mitz, Marc and Mart are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3:2, respectively. As of
December 31, 2016, their capital balances were 95,000 for Mitz, 80,000 for Marc & 60,000 for
Mart. On Jan 1, 2017, the partners admitted Vince as a new partner and according to their
agreement, Vince will contribute 80,000 in cash to the partnership and also pay 10,000 for 15%
of Marc’s share. Vince will be given a 20% share in profits, while the original partners’ share will
be approximately the same as before. After the admission of Vince, the total capital will be
330,000 and Vince’s Capital will be 70,000. 
 
         The total amount of goodwill to the old partners, upon the admission of Vince would
be:  
                 A.  7,000 
B. 15,000 
C. 22,000 
D. 37,000 
 
Solution: 
    

                                                 Contributed Capital   Agreed Capital   Increase(Decrease) 


        Old partners 
       [235,000-(15% x 80,000)            223,000               260,000               37,000 
         New partner 
       [80,000+(15% x 80,000)              92,000                  70,000              (22,000) 
         Total                                          315,000               330,000              15,000 
                         
          Again, when the total agreed capital is more than the contributed capital, there is
goodwill and this amount of ₱15,000 will be distributed to the old partners using their original
profit and loss ratio. However, in the above computations, it should be pointed out that aside
from goodwill, the new partner provides bonus to old partners in the amount of ₱22,000
(decrease in the new partner’s capital). 
                            
     Correct Answer: (B) 15,000 
34. The balance of Marc’s Capital, after admission of Vince would be:  
                 A. 72,600 
B. 74,600 
C. 79,100 
D. 81,100 
(Punzalan,
2018) 
    Solution: 
                   Marc’s capital before Vince’s admission                      80,000 
                   Interest purchased by Vince (15% x 80,000)              (12,000) 
                   Share in goodwill (30% x 15,000)                                    4,500 
                   Share in bonus (30% x 22,000)                                        6,600 
                   Marc’s capital after Vince’s admission                         79,100 
 
    Correct Answer: (C) 79,100 
                    
         When an incoming partner purchases a portion or all of the interest of one or more of the
original partners, the partnership assets remain unchanged and the related amount paid for the
purchase should not be recorded in the books of the partnership for this is regarded as a
personal transaction between the selling partner/s and the buyer. 
 
        Bonus to old partners is recorded by making transfer from the contributed capital of the
new partner to the old partners’ capital accounts, which gives the new partners a capital credit
less than his actual investment. While Goodwill to old partners should be recognized by a debit
to Goodwill account, and the resulting credit should be to old partners’ capital accounts
allocated based on  their profit and loss ratio.

44. RR and XX formed a partnership and agreed to divide initial capital equally, even
though  RR contributed P25,000 and XX contributed P21,000 in identifiable assets. Under
the bonus method approach to adjust the capital accounts, XX’s unidentifiable assets
should be debited for: 
A. P11,500 
B. P4,000 
C. P2,000 
 D. 0 
 
(Dayag, 2015)

A. P62,000 
 B. P51,667  
C. P60,000 
D. P48,333 
(Dayag,
2015) 
Solutions: 
The annual weighted-average capital would be: 
March 1:                      ₱50,000 x 3 = ₱150,000 
June 1:                          ₱70 000 x 3 = ₱210,000 
September 1:              ₱65,000 x 4 = ₱260,000 
                                                               ₱620,000 
Divided by months per annum          /12 months  
                                                                ₱51,667

The following should be noted: 
1.Only P5,000 withdrawals should be deducted from capital to compute the average
capital. 
2.The question is based on annual, therefore the denominator should be 12 months.
However, the 10-month weighted average capital would be P62,000
(P620,000/10months
