Test: Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm: Admission of a Partner- Case Based Type Questions - Question 2

Read the following hypothetical text and answer the given questions:

Amit and Mahesh were partners in a fast-food corner sharing profits and losses in ratio 3:2. They sold fast food items across the counter and did home delivery too. Their initial fixed capital contribution was ₹1,20,000 and ₹80,000 respectively. At the end of first year their profit was ₹1,20,000 before allowing the remuneration of ₹3,000 per quarter to Amit and ₹2,000 per half year to Ranju. Such a promising performance for the first year was encouraging, therefore, they decided to expand the area of operations.

For this purpose, they needed a delivery van, a few Scotties and an additional person to support. Six months into the accounting year they decided to admit Sundram as a new partner and offered him 20% as a share of profits along with a monthly remuneration of ₹2,500. Sundram was asked to introduce ₹1,30,000 for capital and ₹70,000 as premium for goodwill. Besides this Sundram was required to provide ₹1,00,000 as loan for two years. Sundram readily accepted the offer. The terms of the offer were duly executed and he was admitted as a partner.

Upon the admission of Sundram, the sacrifice for providing his share of profits would be done:

Test: Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm: Admission of a Partner- Case Based Type Questions - Question 3

Based on the below information, answer the given questions:

Aditi and Parul are partners in a firm with capitals of ₹ 35,000 each. They shared profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 1. On 1st April, 2017, they admitted Chanda into their partnership with 1/5th share in the profits. Chanda brings in ₹40,000 as her capital and her share of goodwill in cash.

(b) Creditors of ₹ 8,000 were paid by Aditi privately for which she is not to be reimbursed.

(c) There was no change in the value of other assets and liabilities.

What is the amount of goodwill to be transferred to Aditi’s Capital Account?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

3/4 of ₹8400 = ₹6,300



Working Notes: Assuming the capital of Chanda = Rs 35,000 (equal to Capital of both existing partners) Calculation of Goodwill Old Profit Sharing Ratio of Aditi and Parul = 3 : 1 New Profit Sharing Ratio = 3/5 : 1/5 = 1/5 = 3 : 1 = 1 Sacrifice of Aditi = 3/4 - 3/5 = 3/20 Sacrifice of Parul = 1/4 - 1/5 = 1/20 Gain of Chanda = 1/5 The amount of goodwill of Chanda = Rs 5,000 Total Goodwill of the firm = 5/1 × 5,000 Rs 25,000

Test: Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm: Admission of a Partner- Case Based Type Questions - Question 4

Based on the below information, you are required to answer the given questions:

Sterling Enterprises is a partnership business with Ryan, Williams and Sania as partners engaged in production and sales of electrical items and equipment. Their capital contributions were ₹50,00,000, ₹ 50,00,000 and ₹80,00,000 respectively with the profit sharing ratio of 5:5:8. As they are now looking forward to expanding their business, it was decided that they would bring in sufficient cash to double their respective capitals. This was duly followed by Ryan and Williams but due to unavoidable reasons Sania could not do so and ultimately it was agreed that to bridge the shortfall in the required capital a new partner should be admitted who would bring in the amount that Sania could not bring and that the new partner would get share of profits equal to half of Sania’s share which would be sacrificed by Sania only.

Consequent to this agreement Ejaz was admitted and he brought in the required capital and ` 30,00,000 as premium for goodwill.

What is the amount of capital brought in by the new partner Ejaz?

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Sania had to bring additional capital so that her capital would be doubled. It means she had to bring ₹ 80,00,000. She could not bring her additional capital which was brought in by new partner. Hence capital brought in by Ejaz is also ₹ 80,00,000

Test: Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm: Admission of a Partner- Case Based Type Questions - Question 5

Based on the below information, answer the given questions:

Aditi and Parul are partners in a firm with capitals of ₹ 35,000 each. They shared profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 1. On 1st April, 2017, they admitted Chanda into their partnership with 1/5th share in the profits. Chanda brings in ₹40,000 as her capital and her share of goodwill in cash. Her share of goodwill is calculated on the basis of her capital contribution and her share of profits in the firm. At the time of Chanda’s admission :

(a) The firm had a Workmen Compensation Reserve of ₹ 60,000 against which there was a claim of ₹ 20,000.

(b) Creditors of ₹ 8,000 were paid by Aditi privately for which she is not to be reimbursed.

(c) There was no change in the value of other assets and liabilities.

What is the value of goodwill to be contributed by Chanda?

Detailed Solution: Question 5

I. Capitalised Value of the business/Net worth (including Goodwill) Total Capital of the firm based on Chanda’s capital = 5 × ₹40,000 =₹ 2,00,000

II. Net worth of the business (excluding Goodwill) adjusted capital of all the partners:

Aditi = ₹(35,000 + 30,000 + 6,000) = ₹71,000

Parul = ₹(35,000 + 10,000 + 2,000) = ₹ 47,000

Chanda = ₹40,000

Total Capital = 1,58,000

III. Hidden Goodwill of the firm (A – B) = 42,000

Chanda’s Goodwill = 1/5 of ₹ 42,000

= ₹8,400

Test: Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm: Admission of a Partner- Case Based Type Questions - Question 6

After Ejaz is admitted and all capital adjustments are made, the firm decides that the capitals of all partners should be proportionate to the new profit-sharing ratio of 5 : 5 : 4 : 4 (Ryan : Williams : Sania : Ejaz).
Given that the total capital of the firm after Ejaz’s admission is ₹3,60,00,000, what will be the adjusted capital of each partner?

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Total capital = ₹3,60,00,000
Total ratio = 5 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 18
Capital per share = 3,60,00,000 ÷ 18 = ₹20,00,000

  • Ryan = 5 × 20,00,000 = ₹1,00,00,000
  • Williams = 5 × 20,00,000 = ₹1,00,00,000
  • Sania = 4 × 20,00,000 = ₹80,00,000
  • Ejaz = 4 × 20,00,000 = ₹80,00,000
