Answer: B
Solution:
Interest: ($500,000 x 10%) = $50,000
Salary: ($10,000 + $20,000) = $30,000
Bonus: Condition not met = $0

Total allocations = $80,000 and over-allocations =

$80,000 - $60,000 = $20,000

12. If the partnership experiences a net loss of $20,000 for the year, what will be the final amount

Interest allocation: $20,000 Interest allocation: $30,000
Salary allocation: $10,000 Salary allocation: $20,000

There is a total of $80,000 for positive allocations. To bring them down to a $20,000 loss, a
residual adjustment of ($100,000) is needed which is allocated ($40,000) to Blossom and ($60,000)
to Carmella. After these amounts are assigned to the partners, each partner’s capital
account will be reduced by a net $10,000.
Problem 7
A summary balance sheet for the Mark, Nick, and Olive partnership appears below. Mark, Nick, and
Olive share profits and losses in a ratio of 2:3:5, respectively.

Assets
Cash $ 50,000 Equities
Inventory 62,500
Marketable securities 100,000 Mark, capital $ 212,500
Land 50,000 Nick, capital 200,000
Building-net 250,000 Olive, capital 100,000
Total assets $ 512,500 Total equities $ 512,500

The partners agree to admit Peperoni for a one-fifth interest. The fair market value of partnership land is
appraised at $100,000 and the fair market value of inventory is $87,500. The assets are to be revalued
prior to the admission of Peperoni and there is $15,000 of goodwill that attaches to the old partnership.

13. By how much will the capital accounts of Mark, Nick, and Olive increase, respectively,
due to the revaluation of the assets and the recognition of goodwill?
a. The capital accounts will increase by $25,000 each.
b. The capital accounts will increase by $30,000 each.
c. $18,000, $27,000, and $45,000.
d. $20,000, $25,000, and $30,000.

Answer: C
The assets will be valued upward by $90,000 which, allocated on a 2:3:5 basis, yields $18,000 to
Mark, $27,000 to Nick, and $45,000 to Olive.

14. How much cash must Peperoni invest to acquire a one-fifth interest?
a. $117,500.
b. $120,500.
c. $146,875.
d. $150,625.

Answer: D
After the revaluation, the assets will be recorded at $602,500. If Peperoni is admitted for a one-
fifth interest, the $602,500 represents 80% of the total implied capital. Dividing $602,500 by 80%
gives a total capitalization of $753,150 for which $150,625 is required from Peperoni for a 20%
interest.

a. 1:2:4:2.
b. 2:3:5:2.
c. 3:4:6:2.
d. 4:6:10:5

Answer: D
Each of the original partners has given up 20% of their interest to Peperoni. Their profit and loss
sharing ratios will therefore be 80% of what they were before the admission of Peperoni.
Mark 20% x 80% = 16%
Nick 30% x 80% = 24%
Olive 50% x 80% = 40%
Peperoni = 20%
Expressed as: 4:6:10:5

16. The XYZ partnership provides a 10% bonus to Partner Y that is based upon partnership income,
after deduction of the bonus. If the partnership's income is $121,000, how much is Partner
Y's bonus allocation?

a. $11,000.
b. $11,450.
c. $11,650.
d. $12,100.

Answer: A
a B = .1x($121,000 - B)
B = $12,100 - .1B
1.1B = $12,100
B = $11,000
B = .1x ($121,000 - B)
B = $12,100 - .1B
1.1B = $12,100
B = $11,000

Problem 9
Albion and Blaze share profits and losses equally. Albion and Blaze receive salary allowance of

balances. Average capital balances are calculated at the beginning of each month balance regardless of
when additional capital contributions or permanent withdrawals are made subsequently within the
month. Partners’ drawings are not used in determining the average capital balances. Total net income for
2006 is $120,000.

January 1 capital balances $ 100,000 $ 120,000
Yearly drawings ($1,500 a month) 18,000 18,000
Permanent withdrawals of capital:
June 3 ( 12,000 )
May 2 ( 15,000 )
Additional investments of capital:
July 3 40,000
October 2 50,000

c. $110,667 and $119,583.
d. $126,667 and $105,333.

Answer: C
Albion: [($100,000 x 6) + ($88,000 x 1) + ($128,000 x 5)]/12 = $110,667
Blaze: [($120,000 x 5) + ($105,000 x 5) + ($155,000 x 2)]/12 = $119,583

18. If the average capital for Albion and Blaze from the above information is $112,000 and

distributions are completed?

a. $70,000.
b. $73,100.
c. $75,000.
d. $80,000.

Answer: B
Capital: ($112,000 + $119,000)x(10%) = $23,100
Salary: ($20,000 + $30,000) = $50,000
Total: $23,100 + $50,000 = $73,100

19. If the average capital balances for Albion and Blaze are $100,000 and $120,000, what
will the final profit allocations for Albion and Blaze in 2006?
a. $50,000 and $70,000.

Blaze: ($120,000 x 10%) + $30,000 + $24,000 = $66,000
