The building is subject to a mortgage of $10,000, which the partnership has assumed. The
partnership agreement also specifies that profits and losses are to be distributed evenly. What
amounts should be recorded as capital for Roberts and Smith at the formation of the
partnership?
Roberts Smith
a. $35,000 $85,000
b. $35,000 $75,000
c. $55,000 $55,000
d. $60,000 $60,000
Answer: (b) The requirement is to determine the amounts to be recorded as capital for Roberts
and Smith at the formation of the partnership. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the partners,
individual capital accounts should be credited for the fair market value (on the date of
contribution) of the net assets contributed by that partner. It is necessary to assume that the
amounts listed are fair market values. The amount of net assets that Roberts contributed is
$35,000 ($20,000 + $15,000). The fair market value of the net assets Smith contributed is
$75,000 ($30,000 + $15,000 + $40,000 $10,000). The partners profit and loss sharing ratio
does not affect the initial recording of the capital accounts.
7. On April 30, year 1, Algee, Belger, and Ceda formed a partnership by combining their
separate business proprietorships. Algee contributed cash of $50,000. Belger contributed
property with a $36,000 carrying amount, a $40,000 original cost, and $80,000 fair value. The
partnership accepted responsibility for the $35,000 mortgage attached to the property. Ceda
contributed equipment with a $30,000 carrying amount, a $75,000 original cost, and $55,000
fair value. The partnership agreement specifies that profits and losses are to be shared equally
but is silent regarding capital contributions. Which partner has the largest April 30, year 1
capital account balance?
a. Algee.
b. Belger.
c. Ceda.
d. All capital account balances are equal.
Answer: (c) The requirement is to determine which partner has the largest capital account
balance. Use the solutions approach to solve the problem.
Algee Belger Ceda
Partner contribution 50,000 80,000 55,000
Less: Liabilities assumed
by the partnership 0 (35,000) 0
Ending capital balance $50,000 $45,000 $55,000
Each partner values his contribution to the partnership at its fair market value. The fair market
value becomes the partners balance in his capital account and is basis to the partnership under
generally accepted accounting principles. Any liabilities assumed by the partnership, reduces
the partners capital balance by the amount assumed.
8. Abel and Carr formed a partnership and agreed to divide initial capital equally, even though
Abel contributed $100,000 and Carr contributed $84,000 in identifiable assets. Under the bonus
approach to adjust the capital accounts, Carrs unidentifiable asset should be debited for
a. $46,000
b. $16,000
c. $ 8,000
d. $0
Answer: (d) Under the bonus method, unidentifiable assets (i.e., goodwill) are not recognized.
The total resulting capital is the FV of the tangible investments of the partners. Thus, there
would be no unidentifiable assets recognized by the creation of this new partnership.

to admit Mac as a new partner, with a 20% interest. No goodwill or bonus is to be recorded. How much
Mac contributes to cash or other assets?
a) P 350,000
b) P 280,000
c) P 355,000
d) P 284,000
Solution and Explanation
1. D. The requirement is Munoz capital account balance upon formulation of the partnership. As in the
case with all entities, investment in the capital of a partnership should be measured at the fair market
value of the assets contributed. In this case, the FMV of the land would be measured at the fair market
value by its sales price on the date of sale (P50,000) which is also the date of the partnership formation.
Recording the land of Munoz cost would result in the partners sharing the gain from the sale in
accordance with their profit and loss ratio. This is not equitable since the gain accrued while the land
was held by Monuz.
2. A. Under the admission by purchase only the transfer of the capital purchase by the selling partner
(Liz) to the buying partner (Sunshine) is recorded. Therefore 50% of the capital of Liz (P24,000) or P
12,000 is to be debited to her capital account.
3. A. P 290,000.00
Note that the profit and loss sharing ratio is irrelevant to the solution of this problem.
