A partnership—a voluntary association Business with two or more owners Combines individual partners’ assets and liabilities (if any), talents and resources, and experience and knowledge Should have "Article of Partnership"—a contractual agreement that contains the rules of the partnership 4

A real estate appraiser now values the land at $700,000. Morris wants $500,000 capital in the new partnership, but Phillips objects. Phillips believes that Morris’s capital investment should be measured by the book value of his land. Phillips and Morris seek your advice. 1.Which value of the land is appropriate for measuring Morris’s capital—book value or current market value? 2. Give the partnership’s journal entry to record Morris’s investment in the business 15 Market value measures a partner’s capital investment in a partnership because the business is buying the asset at its current market value.

50. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. Liquidation–shuts down the firm by selling its assets and paying its liabilities Dissolves the partnership Adjust and close the books to establish final profits or losses Liquidation involves three steps: Sell the assets and distribute gains/losses to the partners’ capital accounts Pay all partnership liabilities Distribute remaining cash to the partners based on their capital balances Key–all accounts of the company are closed 50

51. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. Assume the following balances after adjusting and closing During liquidation, three scenarios: Assets are sold at a gain Assets are sold at a loss Assets are sold at a book value 51

52. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. Akers, Bloch, and Crane sell the noncash assets for $150,000 Partnership realizes a gain of $60,000 52

53. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. Partnership then pays off its liabilities: If cash balance is less than the liabilities, the partners contribute cash to cover them If cash balance is greater than the liabilities, the remaining cash is paid to partners 53

54. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. If sale of assets results in a loss, the partners accounts debited Liabilities are paid Partners divide the remaining cash Accounting follows the same pattern illustrated for selling assets for a gain 54

58. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. Similar to those of a proprietorship, with the following differences Income statement–has a section showing division of net income to the partners Balance sheet–has a capital account for each partner in owners’ equity section 58

59. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. The partnership agreement contains the rules under which the partnership will operate. A partnership has limited life and mutual agency, is taxed only at the individual level, has unlimited liability, and maintains separate capital accounts for each partner. A partnership can be a general partnership or an LLP (or LLC). Some small owner groups may also choose to be an S corporation, which is taxed like a partnership but has the protection of the separate corporate entity (limited liability). 59

60. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. When a partnership is started, each partner contributes assets and liabilities at their current market values. The partnership balance sheet is similar to other balance sheets you’ve learned about—the main difference is that there are separate capital accounts for each partner. The partnership agreement should specify how the partners will share profits and losses. If the agreement is silent, the partners share profits and losses equally. If the agreement has multiple steps, all steps must be applied each time the partnership allocates profits or losses. Each partner has a separate drawing account. That account is closed to the partner’s capital account during the closing process. 60

61. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. There are many ways a new partner may be admitted to an existing partnership. The new partner can purchase the book equity directly from an existing partner. The new partner can also contribute cash or other assets to the partnership and receive a certain amount of the new partnership’s capital (value). The difference between what the new partner contributes and the value the new partner receives in capital is either a bonus to the existing partners or a bonus to the new partner. 61

62. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. The treatment of a partner withdrawal is similar to the treatment of admitting a new partner. First, the partners can agree to a revaluation. Then, the withdrawing partner can be withdrawn at an amount either exactly equal to his or her capital balance or another amount, higher or lower than his or her capital balance. If the withdrawing partner is given an amount different than his or her capital balance, a bonus to either the remaining partners or to the withdrawing partner occurs. 62

63. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. To liquidate a partnership, first the partnership must perform the normal end-of-period closing of revenues, expenses, income summary, and drawing accounts. Then, the partnership sells its assets. Any gain or loss on the sale of the assets is allocated to the partners based on their profit-and-loss-sharing ratio from the partnership agreement. Next, the partnership pays off any liabilities it has. Last, if cash remains, the partners’ capital balances are paid. When a partnership is completely liquidated, all account balances are zero. 63

64. Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. The key difference in a partnership income statement and other types of company income statements is that the allocation of net income/loss is shown on the face of the statement. The key difference in the partnership balance sheet from other balance sheets is the individual capital accounts for each partner are listed in the equity section. 64
