PARTNERSHIP ACCOUNTS

The Nature of Partnership

OBJECTIVES
1. Explain the meaning of partnership
2. Explain the features of partnership agreement
3. Explain the position of the partnership when there is no partnership deed

A business owned by 2-20 people called partners with an aim of making profit.
The nature/ features of a partnership business
- The business is formed to make profit
- Minimum of partners is two and maximum is 20, with the exception of the
bank where the maximum is 10 partners and there is no maximum for
professions such as accountants, solicitors, stock exchange member,
surveyors, auctioneers, valuers, estate agents, land agents, insurance
brokers etc.
- It has unlimited liability, meaning if the partnership fails to pay its debts, each
partner may be required to pay their share of debt and maybe forced to sell
their private possessions to settle the debt.
- Profit and losses shared
- A partnership agreement is usually drawn up to regulate the operations of the
business
- All partners must consent before decisions are made
- Usually formed by relatives or friends
The Importance of a partnership business
- Reduces risk of failure as losses can be shared by all the partners and
partners bring different expertise to the business
- More capital can be raised which can be used to expand the business
- Responsibilities are shared which leads to efficiency in the business
The Features of a Partnership Agreement
1. State the profit-sharing ratio; indicating the share of each partner in profits or
losses of partnership (not shared in proportion to capital contribution but
according to the agreement)
2. State salary if any to be paid to partners
3. It states the capital contribution to be made by each partner
4. States interest rate to be paid on partners’ capital contributions. Interest on
capital compensate partners who contribute more capital as profit sharing is
not based on capital contributions.
5. States the rate to be paid on drawings to discourage partners from making
excessive drawings from the partnership. Excessive drawings can result in
cashflow problems.

1
 6. States the terms of admission of a new partner (whether goodwill is to be
considered or not)
7. The procedure to be followed if one partner leaves the company (due to
death, retirement, leaving etc

The position of the partnership when there is no partnership deed

1. Profits/losses to be shared equally
2. There will no interest on drawings
3. There will be no interest on capital, however, partners who invested in
partnership in excess of capital contribution agreed are entitled to interest at
the rate of 5% per annum. For example, Partners of a business agreed to
contribute P50 000 each. Partner X contributed P75 000. When profits are
shared, partner X will get 5% extra on excess capital contributed. Excess
capital contributed is P75 000 – P50 000 = P25 000, 5% of P25 000.
4. Interest on partner’s loan will attract a rate of 5% (charged in the income
statement as an operational business expense- it is not appropriated)
5. Salaries are not allowed

The Importance of a partnership deed

1. It helps to avoid disputes and misunderstandings as partners have

documents that regulate their actions in the business
2. The partnership can operate smoothly and peacefully to be able to achieve
planned objectives as the deed is the guideline for the partnership

- It shows the salaries earned by partners
- It shows interest on capital

Why Partners charge interest on drawings

1. To discourage partners from making excessive drawings
2. Interest on drawings increases their capital share
3. Interest in drawings increases the profit share

The Difference between Fixed and fluctuating capital account.

Fixed Capital Account
Shows amount introduced/ invested by each partner at the beginning of the
partnership. If there is any additional capital introduced, it is recorded in this account.
The importance of a fixed capital account
- It helps to know the amount introduced by each partner/ capital contributions
of each partner are readily available
- Advantage of keeping this account is that interest can be calculated on
partner’s fixed capital contributions
- It is only used/kept together with a current account

Fluctuating Capital Account

Where all transactions are recorded in partners’ capital accounts. The capital
accounts of partners changes with current entries made (eg drawings, interest on
drawings, interest on capital, share of profit, salary to partners). The balances of

NB: Interest on loan issued by a partner

- It appears in the income statement as an expense, however, if not issued on
cash to the partner concerned, it must be added to increase the partner’s
capital share.
- A fluctuating capital account will never have a negative (debit) balance
because the partner’s fixed capital (capital invested) is included as compared
to the current account.
- Fixed capital account and current account are put in one account- hence
called fluctuating capital account as partner’s balances will keep on changing.

WHY BUSINESSES PREFER KEEPING FIXED CAPITAL ACCOUNTS PLUS

CURRENT ACCOUNTS OVER TO FLUCTUATING CAPITAL ACCOUNTS.
When partners are taking greater amounts than the share of the profits that they are
entitled to, this will be shown by a debit balance on the current account hence acts
as a warning to the concerned partner to reduce drawings.

 GOODWILL

Objectives
1. Explain the meaning of goodwill
2. Prepare the accounting entries of goodwill on admission of a new partner
3. State the accounting differences between a sole trader and a partnership

Goodwill is an amount representing the added value to a business of such factors

as; customer loyalty, good reputation, market penetration and expertise.
Reasons Why Goodwill is paid
1. The business has many regular customers who will continue to deal with new
owner
2. The business has good contacts with suppliers
3. The business has a good reputation
4. The business has well trained, efficient and reliable employees
5. It has well-known brand names that have not been valued and included as
assets

NB: If the business has a bad reputation, inefficient labour force or any negative
characteristic, the owner would not be paid for goodwill on selling the business.
How Goodwill Is Calculated
There is no single way of calculating goodwill. Different industries/occupation have
own customary way of calculating goodwill.
i. Retail businesses normally value goodwill at the average weekly sales for
the past year multiplied by a given figure. The given figure differs between
types of business and often changes gradually in the same type of
business in the long term.
ii. Professional firms like accountants’ value goodwill as being the gross
annual fees times a given number.
iii. The average net annual profit for a specified past number of years
multiplied by an agreed number. This is often said to be X years purchase
of Net Profits.
iv. The super profits methods: what is left of the net profits after allowances
have been made for.

Goodwill in partnership; normally not entered in the books unless if it has been
purchased. However, partners own a share in goodwill in the same ratio in which
profits are shared. The account will be opened and closed.

8
WHEN IS GOODWILL CALCULATED?
1. When a new partner is admitted
2. When a partner dies
3. When old partners change profit & loss sharing ratio
4. When the business is sold

1. GOODWILL ON ADMISSION OF A NEW PARTNER

Reasons for admitting a new partner

1. The firm has grown, and someone is needed with different skills
2. To replace partners who left the firm due to death/ retirement

When a new partner is admitted to a partnership, he would be buying not only a

share of the recorded assets of the business but also a share of the unrecorded
goodwill in the business. Remember goodwill in the business comes about due to
the excellence or good reputation of the business. It is essentially the value of the
business as a whole over and above the value of the recorded Net Assets.

The Accounting records: Date of admission used in accounts. End of year date not
used as goodwill account is NOT to be maintained.
1. Immediately before the admission of the new partner, the amount of goodwill
that the old partners have built up must be recognized and shared between
the partners using the old profit & loss ratio.
- Dr goodwill account with the estimated amount of goodwill
- Cr old partner’s capital accounts with the old profit-sharing ratio

2. The new partner will then be admitted and the cash that s/he brings into
partnership is accounted for by;
- Dr Cas/Bank account
- Cr new partner’s capital account

3. Finally, the goodwill must be eliminated from the books and this is done by
- Dr new partners’ capital accounts in new profit-sharing ratio
- Cr the goodwill account with the value of goodwill

9
 EXAMPLE
Peter and Paul have been in a partnership for several years sharing profits equally.
The balance in Peter’s capital account is P100 000 and for Paul is P80 000. They
decided to admit a new partner, Phill, on 5th April to their partnership. Phill will
contribute P60 000 in cash and the new profit-sharing ratio will be 2:2:1. The
goodwill in the partnership is estimated to be P30 000 and the goodwill account is
not to be maintained.
Required
Write up the partners ‘capital accounts to reflect admission of Phill.

Why is goodwill charged when admitting a new partner?

It compensates partners for losing because of changing ratios of profits and losses. (
The new partner has to pay part of the goodwill to compensate old partners)

B. GOODWILL ON PURCHASE OF A BUSINESS/WHEN A BUSINESS IS SOLD.

Objectives
1. Explain the factors that may affect the purchase price of a business

11
 2. Calculate the goodwill and adjust for the revaluation of assets for a business
purchased
3. Explain the need to revalue some of the assets of a business purchased
4. Differentiate between the purchase of a business by a sole trader and the
amalgamation of two sole traders ‘s businesses
5. Record the purchase of a business in the buyer’s books of account
6. Prepare the statement of financial position which has bought another
business or two businesses which have amalgamated.

Factors that may affect the purchase price

1. Goodwill (all factors affecting goodwill inclusive)
2. The value of assets taken over
3. The value of liabilities taken over
4. Profitability of a business
5. The actual purchase price payable to the vendor/the seller (net assets value)
The Need to revalue some assets of a business when its purchased
1. Some non-current assets were bought long ago, their values need to be
revalued to reflect current market values. For instance, inflation has increased
prices, depreciation lowers prices
2. Some non-current assets are absolute (out of fashion), their prices
3. Inventory may have slow lines; goods low in demand which may end up
expiring on shelf, hence a need to reduce prices
4. Some inventory maybe stoles while the books/records reflect a certain
amount which is not existing, hence a need to reduce the value
5. Some inventory must be revalued to reflect the current market prices e.g cell
phones
6. Some trade receivables maybe close to being bad debts hence a need to
revalue and make provisions for bad debts.
When is Revaluation Done?
1. When partnership is sold
2. When a new partner is admitted
3. When a partner leaves the firm
4. When partners change profit & loss sharing ratio

Valuation must be done so that the value of assets and liabilities become realistic
hence when calculating goodwill and preparing final statements use new
values.

Profit or Loss on Revaluation

12
 - The gain/loss made on revaluation is shared between old partners in their old
profit-sharing ratio
- If the revaluation shows no difference in assets values, no further action is
needed.

If it’s a profit/Gain pg 513 14th edition

New total valuation of assets P90 000
Old total valuation of assets (P60 000)
Gain on revaluation P30 000

If it’s a loss
New total valuation of assets P40 000
Less: Old total valuation of assets (P50 000)
Loss on revaluation (P10 000)

Accounting Entries for Revaluation

Once assets have been valued, you need to record the changes, gains and losses in
the ledger accounts of partnership. That is, open revaluation account and update the
concerned assets accounts.

Revaluation Account: an account used to record gains and losses when assets are
revalued. ( Frank wood, 14th edition chapter 34)
Step 1

Assets Showing a gain on revaluation

Dr asset account with revaluation: increase amount
Cr revaluation account with concerned asset e.g., premises
Assets showing a loss on revaluation
Dr revaluation account
Cr asset account with revaluation: reduction

Step 2

13
 - Add the two sides of the revaluation account
- If credit side is more than the debit side, there is profit on revaluation, share it
among the old partners using the old profit ratio.
Dr Revaluation account with “profit on revaluation”, showing how it was shared
between old partners
Cr Old partner’s capital accounts (as profit increases their capital share)
- If the Dr side is more than the Cr side, it means there is loss on revaluation,
share it among old partners using old profit-sharing ratio
Dr old partners’ capital accounts (current accounts- to reduce their capital share)
Cr loss to revaluation account, showing how it was shared among old partners.

SUMMARY
- Profits on revaluation of assets are credited to old partners’ accounts in the
old profit & loss sharing ratio as it increases their capital share
- Losses on revaluation of assets are debited to old partners’ capital accounts
in the old profit & loss sharing ratios as they decrease their profit share
- Assets accounts also show revalued amounts, profits will be debited as
(revaluation: increase, and losses credited as revaluation: reduction)
RATIONALE OF SHARING GAINS/LOSSES ON REVALUATION AMOMG
PARTNERS
The new partner should not enjoy the gains or suffer the losses that occurred before
his/her admission.

PURCHASE OF A BUSINESS BY ONE SOLE TRADER

The business of a sole trader maybe be sold to an existing sole trader, a partnership
business, or an existing company. In all cases, the transaction becomes a business
acquisition or business purchase. We will only study purchase of a business by a
sole trader.
- The seller or firm selling the business is referred to as the vendor
- The buyer or firm buying the business is referred to as the vendee

Purchase of a business Account

Dr Cr
Purchase Price Assets taken over

Liabilities taken over Difference btwn the two sides on Cr

side will be good will
Difference on debit side will be capital
reserve

Accounting entries
Step 1:
- Dr Purchase of business account with the purchase price offered
- Cr the vendor Account ( seller- trade payable)
Step 2
- Dr purchase of business account with liabilities taken over at their new values
if they have been revalued

19
 - Cr the liabilities account to reflect the increase in revaluation( If liabilities
accounts and revaluation accounts are to be opened)
Step 3.
- Cr purchase of business account with all the assets taken over at their new
values if they have been revalued.
- Dr the assets account to reflect increase in revaluation ( if assets accounts
and revaluation accounts are to be opened)

Step 4.
Total the account to determine Goodwill or capital reserve
- If the debit side is more than the credit side , the difference is recorded on the
Cr side as Goodwill.
- If the credit side is more than the Dr side, record the difference as capital
reserve on the Dr side. In that case there is negative goodwill

NB: Purchase of business account does not have a balance; it is closed off. It
represents the accounting equation. Assets acquired when a business is bought
must be equal to liabilities and capital taken over.

You can also use a formula to determine goodwill or capital reserve on purchase of a
business.

Good will = Purchase price – Net Assets

Purchase price – (Assets taken over – Liabilities assumed)

The purchase price must be compared with the net assets acquired. If the amount
paid exceeds the net assets acquired, then the excess amount is to be debited to
goodwill account.

In certain cases, the purchase price may be less than the net assets acquired.
Therefore, the excess amount(capital profit) is to be credited to the capital reserve
account.

AMALGAMATION
It is the joining of two or more businesses to form one business.

- When two traders decide to merge their separate businesses to form a

partnership then it is known as amalgamation of two sole traders.
- The entries and statement of financial position are prepared in the books of
partnership concern.

The difference between the purchase of a business by a sole trader and

amalgamation of two sole traders.

Differences Purchase by one sole trader Amalgamation of two sole

traders

1. Ownership - One owner - Two or more owners

2. Profit/ loss sharing. - Profits or losses go to

one person. - Profits or losses shared by
partners.
3. Identity - Loses identity.
- May retain identity.
4. Capital contribution - One person contributes
capital - Both partners contribute
