“ADMISSION OF A PARTNER”
Admission of partner is one of the Modes of Reconstitution of the firm because with this, an
existing agreement comes to an end and a new agreement among ALL the Partners (including
New Partner) comes into existence.
According to Indian
ndian Partnership Act, 1932:
New Partner shall not be admitted in the firm unless all the existing partners agree to
the admission of the new partner or it is agreed otherwise by the partners in the Partnership
Deed.
A. New
w Partner acquires his share from OLD Partners in their OLD Ratio:
(i) PSR of New partner is given BUT Sacrifice made by OLD partners is not
given.
It is assumed that New Partner has acquired his share from OLD Partners in
their OLD Ratio.
Steps:
a. Calculate Remaining
emaining Share (1 – Share of New Partner)
b. Distribute such remaining share between Old Partners in Old Ratio
Eg: A and B are partners in a firm sharing Profits and Losses in the ratio 5:3. C
was admitted for 1/9th share. Calculate New Ratio.
Solution:
Remaining
ining Share = 1 – 1/9
= 8/9
A’s New Share = 5/8 * 8/9 = 40/ 72
B’s New Share = 3/8 * 8/9 = 24/72
C’s New Share = 1/9 or 8/72
Therefore,
New Ratio between A, B and C = 40:24:8 OR 5:3:1

(ii) PSR of New Partner is given AND NEW PSR between Old Partners is
given.
Steps:
a. Calculate Remaining Share (1 – Share of New Partner)
b. Distribute such remaining share between OLD Partners in New Ratio
Eg: A and B are partners in a firm sharing Profits and Losses in the ratio 5
5:3. C
was admitted for 1/9th share. New Ratio between A and B is 3:2. Calculate New
Ratio between A, B and C.
Solution:
Remaining Share = 1 – 1/9
= 8/9
A’s New Share = 3/5 * 8/9 = 24/ 45
B’s New Share = 2/5 * 8/9 = 16/45
C’s New Share = 1/9 or 5/45
Therefore,
New Ratio between A, B and C = 24:16:5
(iii) New Partner acquired his share from OLD Partners Equally:
Equally
Deduct the sacrifice made by Old Partner in favour of New Partner from
Existing Share of Profit
Eg: A and B are partners in a firm sharing Profits and Losses in the ratio 3:2. C
was admitted for 1/4th share. He acquires his share from A and B equally.
Calculate New Ratio between A, B and C.
Solution:
A’s New Share = 3/5 – (1/4 *1/2) = 19/40
B’s New Share = 2/5 – (1/4 *1/2) = 11/40
C’s New Share = 1/4 OR 10/40
Therefore,
New Ratio between A, B and C = 19:11:40
B. New Partner acquires his Share from Old or Existing Partners in Particular Ratio:
Existing Partner’s New Share of Profit = OLD Share – Share Sacrificed

by OLD Partners

Hidden Goodwill
If in the question, no information is given about share of Goodwill brought by New
Partner or about Firm’s Goodwill,
In such a case: Calculate HIDDEN GOODWILL of the Firm:
Net worth of the firm on the basis of Capital brought by New Partner XXX
[Cap. Brought by New Partner * Reciprocal of His share]
(-) Actual Net worth of the Firm (XXX)
[After taking into account capital brought in by New Partner]
= Firm’s Hidden Goodwill = XXX
Now, Calculate New Partner’s share in such Hidden Goodwill and Pass the following
Journal Entry:
Cash/ Bank A/c._____________________Dr.
To New Partner’s Cap. A/c. (Cap Brought in)
Net Worth = Total Assets – Fictitious Assets – Accumulated Losses – Outside Liabilities-
Non Trade Investments + New Partner’s Capital + Revaluation Profit – Revaluation Loss
OR

partners, then, SR = OR.
If New Ratio between Old Partners is given and share of new partner is given –
distribute remaining share (1
(1-new
new partner’s share) in that new ratio of old
partners to find New PSR
Partner अगर Goodwill का Amount लेकर आया है - तो “Premium for

If Existing Goodwill is given – write off among Old Partners in Old Ratio.
If Existing Reserves or Losses are given – distribute among
ong Old Partners in Old

Employees’ Provident Fund – It is a part of Current Liability and NOT A
RESERVE. Therefore, it is not distributed among the partners.
If Debtors and PBD both are given in question and If Bad Debts are there: Then,
o the amount of Bad Debt is deducted from debtors and
o Bad-debts
debts will be deducted from PBD – but if Bad debts are more than
PBD, then balance Bad
Bad-Debts
Debts will be transferred to Profit and Loss A/c
(Revaluation A/c).
