Illustration of Admissions and Retirements

Jim and Ken have been trading in partnership for several, sharing profits or losses equally after allowing for interest on their capitals at 8% p.a. At 1 September 19-7 their manager, Len, was admitted as a partner and was to have a one-fifth share of the profits after interest on capital. Jim and Ken shared the balance equally but guaranteed that Len’s share would not fall below £6,000p.a.  Len was not required to introduce any capital at the date of admission but agreed to retain £1,500 of his profit share at the end of each year to be credited to his capital account until the balance reached £7,500, until that time no interest was to be allowed on his capital. Goodwill, calculated as a percentage of the profits of the last five years was agree at £15,000 at September 19-7, and Len paid into the business sufficient cash for his share. No goodwill accounts were to be left in the books. Land and building were professionally valued at the same date £28,400 and this figure was to be brought into the books, whilst the book value of the equipment and vehicles was, by mutual agreement, to be reduced to £15,000 at the date. Len had previously been entitled to a bonus of 5% of the gross profit payable half-yearly, the bonus together with his manager’s salary were cease when he became a partner. It was agreed to take out a survivorship policy and the first premium of £1,000 was paid on 1 September 19-7.

The trial balance at the end of the 19-7 financial year is given below. No adjustments had yet been made in respect of lens admission, and the amount he introduced for goodwill had been put into his current account. The drawings of all the partners have been changed to their current account. It can be assumed that the gross profit and trading expenses accrued evenly throughout the year. Depreciation on the equipment and vehicles is to be charges at 20% p.a. on the book value.
