business proprietorships. Algee contributed cash of P50,000. Belger contributed property with a
 P36,000 carrying amount, a P40,000 original cost, and P80,000 fair value. The partnership accepted
responsibility for the P35,000 mortgage attached to the property. Ceda contributed equipment with
a P30,000 carrying amount, a P75,000 original cost, and P55,000 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. c. Ceda.
b. Belger. 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 P50,000 P45,000 P55,000

Each partner values his contribution to the partnership at its fair market value. The fair market
value becomes the partner’s 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.

22. Abel and Carr formed a partnership and agreed to divide initial capital equally, even though Abel

a. P 46,000 c. P 8,000
b. P 16,000 d. P 0

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.
