FAQs on Worksheet Solutions: Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm : Retirement/Death of a Partner- 2 - Accountancy Class 12 - Commerce

1. What is the process of reconstitution of a partnership firm due to retirement or death of a partner?
Ans. The process of reconstitution of a partnership firm due to retirement or death of a partner involves several steps. Firstly, the retiring or deceased partner's capital and profit/loss sharing ratio should be determined. Then, the firm's assets and liabilities are revalued to determine their current values. The remaining partners then adjust their capital accounts based on the new profit/loss sharing ratio. If necessary, a new partner may be admitted to the firm. Finally, the retiring or deceased partner's capital is settled by paying out their share or transferring it to their legal heir.
2. How is the retiring partner's capital settled in a reconstituted partnership firm?
Ans. The retiring partner's capital is settled in a reconstituted partnership firm by either paying out their share or transferring it to their legal heir. If the retiring partner chooses to withdraw their capital, the firm will pay them the agreed-upon amount in cash or through installments. On the other hand, if the retiring partner's capital is transferred to their legal heir, the heir becomes a new partner in the firm and their capital account is credited with the value of the transferred capital.
3. Can a new partner be admitted to a partnership firm during the reconstitution process?
Ans. Yes, a new partner can be admitted to a partnership firm during the reconstitution process. If the remaining partners decide to admit a new partner to the firm, they need to negotiate and agree upon the terms and conditions of the admission. These terms may include the new partner's capital contribution, profit/loss sharing ratio, and any other rights and responsibilities. Once the terms are agreed upon, the new partner's capital account is credited with their capital contribution, and they become a part of the reconstituted partnership firm.
4. What is the purpose of revaluing the assets and liabilities during the reconstitution process?
Ans. The purpose of revaluing the assets and liabilities during the reconstitution process is to determine their current values. Over time, the value of assets and liabilities may change due to factors such as depreciation, appreciation, or changes in market conditions. By revaluing these items, the firm can ensure that the partners' capital accounts are adjusted accurately based on their current values. This helps in maintaining fairness and transparency in the reconstitution process.
5. How does the profit/loss sharing ratio change in a reconstituted partnership firm?
Ans. The profit/loss sharing ratio in a reconstituted partnership firm may change due to the retirement or death of a partner. The remaining partners need to agree upon a new profit/loss sharing ratio based on the revised capital accounts and any new partners admitted to the firm. The new ratio determines how the profits or losses of the firm will be distributed among the partners. It is essential to ensure that the new ratio reflects the partners' capital contributions and any changes in their roles or responsibilities in the reconstituted partnership firm.
