The Balance Sheet of The Reconstituted Firm Adjustment of Capital Accounts


Reconstitution of
Partnership Firm
Meaning

Partnership is the result of an agreement between persons for


sharing the profits of a business.

Any change in the partnership agreement brings to an end the


existing agreement and a new agreement comes into force.

The change in the agreement results in changes in the


relationship among the partners.

In such a case, although the firm continues, it amounts to the


reconstitution of the partnership firm.
A firm is reconstituted in the event of:

(i) Change in the profit-sharing ratio among the existing partners.

(ii) Admission of a partner or partners.

(iii) Retirement of a partner.

(iv) Death of a partner.

(v) Amalgamation of two or more partnership firms.


Change in
Profit Sharing
Ratio Among
Partners
😁😁😁
Meaning

The existing partners may agree to share profits and losses in a ratio that is
different from the earlier agreed profit-sharing ratio.

The change is necessitated due to the change in capital contribution or in active


participation in management.

Change in the profit-sharing ratio among the existing partners results in


reconstitution of the firm.

Change in Profit-sharing Ratio leads to dissolution of partnership and not of the


firm because the existing partnership agreement ends and the new agreement
comes into effect.
The issues that need to be addressed at the time of change in the profit-sharing ratio are:

1. Determination of Sacrificing Ratio and Gaining Ratio

2. Accounting of Goodwill

3. Accounting of Reserves, Accumulated Profits and Losses

4. Revaluation of Assets and Reassessment of Liabilities

5. Balance Sheet
Change in PSR –
The Sacrificing
Ratio
😁😁😁
Sacrificing Ratio

Whenever there is a change in the profit sharing ratio, one or more of the existing
partners have to surrender some of their old share in favour of one or more of other
partners. The ratio of surrender of profit sharing ratio is called sacrificing ratio. It is
calculated as follows:

Note: The purpose of calculating sacrificing ratio is to determine the amount of compensation to be
paid by the gaining partner (i.e., the partner whose share has increased as a result of change) to the
sacrificing partner (i.e., the partner whose share has decreased as a result of change). Such
compensation is usually paid on the basis of proportionate amount of goodwill.
Profits:

Ram Shyam
Mohan
Gaining Ratio

As a result of change in profit sharing ratio, one or more of the existing


partners gain some portion of other partners share of profit. The ratio of gain
of profit sharing ratio is called gaining ratio. It is calculated as follows:

The Accounting
of Goodwill
😁😁😁
AS - 26

It is a valuable intangible asset. It is amortised over its estimated useful life. Accounting
Standard-26 (AS-26), Intangible Assets prescribes that goodwill should not be
recognised in the books of account unless consideration is paid for it.
Therefore, self-generated goodwill is not recognised in the books of account whereas
purchased goodwill is recognised. It is not recognised because its value is subjective
and is not evidenced by payment, i.e., amount does not exchange hand. On the other
hand, purchased goodwill is recognised being evidenced by payment.

ACCOUNTING STANDARD-26 (AS-26), 'INTANGIBLE ASSETS’


According to AS-26, 'Intangible Assets' goodwill should be recognised in the books only when
consideration in money or money's worth has been paid for it. Thus, in case of admission or
retirement/death of a partner or change in the profit-sharing ratio among partners, goodwill is
not recognised in the books of the firm because consideration in money or money's worth is not
paid for it. It should be adjusted through Partners' Capital Accounts. And, if goodwill is
recognised (raised), it should be written off immediately.
Accounting
Treatment of
Goodwill
Meaning

A change in profit sharing ratio basically implies that one partner is purchasing from
another partner, a share of profits previously belonging to the latter. The purchasing or
gaining partner must compensate the sacrificing partner by paying the proportionate
amount of goodwill.

The partner whose profit share increases, is a gaining partner and he/she compensates
partner or partners whose profit share(s) has (have) decreased, i.e., sacrificing partner(s).
The compensation payable by the gaining partner for his gain to the sacrificing partner
or partners is known as 'Goodwill' or 'Premium for Goodwill'. It is paid by the gaining
partners for their gained profit share to the sacrificing partners in their sacrificing ratio.
Example

For example, Dharam and Karam are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3: 2. They
decide to share profits equally in future. Thus, Dharam will lose while Karam will gain
1/10th share.
Therefore, Karam should compensate Dharam for his gained profit share, i.e., 1/10th
share.
If the value of goodwill is 50,000, Karam will pay Dharam 5,000 (i.e., 50,000 × 1/10).

Kumar, Gupta and Kavita were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses equally.
The firm was engaged in the storage and distribution of canned juice and its godowns were
located at three different places in the city. Each godown was being managed individually by
Kumar, Gupta and Kavita. Because of increase in business activities at the godown managed by
Gupta, he had to devote more time. Gupta demanded that his share in the profits of the firm be
increased, to which Kumar and Kavita agreed. New profit-sharing ratio was agreed to be 1: 2: 1.
For this purpose, goodwill of the firm was valued at two years' purchase of the average profit of
last five years. The profits of the last five years were as follows:
4,00,000 & 4,80,000 & 7,33,000 & 33,000(Loss) & 2,20,000

You are required to:


(a) Calculate the goodwill of the firm.
(b) Pass necessary Journal entry for the treatment of goodwill on change in profit-
sharing ratio of Kumar, Gupta and Kavita.

X and Y were partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3: 1. They decided that
with effect from 1st April 2021, they would share profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3.
The partnership deed provides that in the event of any change in profit sharing ratio,
the goodwill should be valued at the total of two year's profits preceding the date the
decision became effective. The profits for 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 were
*60,000, 70,000 and 90,000 respectively. Pass the necessary Journal entry to give

Change in PSR –
The
Accumulated
Profits & Losses
😁😁😁
Meaning
Meaning

If, at the time of change in profit-sharing ratio, reserves, accumulated profits and losses
exist in the books of the firm, they are
transferred to the Partners' Capital/ Current Account
in their
old profit-sharing ratio
because reserves, accumulated (undistributed) profits and losses as on the date of
change in PSR were
earned before the reconstitution of the firm.

Accumulated Profits means Profits earned but not distributed or made using the share of
partners.

Accumulated Losses means losses accrued but not transferred to partner’s capital
account or loss/ expense yet not written off.

Deferred Revenue
Expenditure
Deferred Revenue Expenditure

It is a revenue expenditure which does not bring any asset into existence but its benefit
is expected to last in more than one accounting period. Deferred Revenue Expenditure
is written off over the period during which its benefit is likely to accrue. They are also
known as fictitious assets. At the time of change in profit-sharing ratio, Deferred
Revenue Expenditure is written off by debiting Partners' Capital or Current Accounts in
their old profit-sharing ratio.

The Journal entry is:


Partners' Capital (Current) A/c Dr.
To Deferred Revenue Expenditure A/c (OPSR)

1. Reserves, Accumulated Profits and Losses are distributed even if the question is
silent.

2. Workmen Compensation Reserve is a reserve set aside out of profit to meet the

3. Investments Fluctuation Reserve is a reserve set aside out of profit to meet the
fall in Value of Investments, i.e., when Market Value of Investment is lower than
its Book Value.

4. Deferred Revenue Expenditure is a revenue expenditure written off in more than


one accounting period. Deferred Revenue Expenditure to the extent not written
off is carried forward in the Balance Sheet. It being a fictitious asset is debited to
Partners' Capital Accounts in their old profit-sharing ratio at the time of change
in profit-sharing ratio.
Change in PSR –
The
Revaluation A/c
😁😁😁
Meaning
Meaning

Assets are revalued and the liabilities are reassessed when the profit-sharing
ratio changes and the gain (profit) or loss arising from it is credited or debited
to Partners' Capital Accounts in their old profit-sharing ratio.

The reason for revaluation of assets and reassessment of liabilities is that any
increase or decrease in the value of assets and liabilities up to the date of
change in profit-sharing ratio is for the period before the change in profit-
sharing ratio.

Therefore, it is shared by the partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.

Note: Revaluation Account Is Also Known As Profit And Loss Adjustment Account
The partners may decide to:

(i) Record revised (changed) values of assets and liabilities in the books

(ii) Not to record the revised values of assets and liabilities in the books
Record revised
(changed) values
of assets and
liabilities in the
books
Record revised (changed) values of assets and liabilities in the books

When revised (changed) values of assets and liabilities are to be recorded Revaluation
of assets and reassessment of liabilities are recorded in an account 'Revaluation
Account' or 'Profit and Loss Adjustment Account’.
(a) Increase in the value assets and decrease in the amount of liabilities are credited to
this account
(b) while decrease in the value of assets and increase in the amount of liabilities are
debited to this account.
(c) Unrecorded assets, if any, are credited and
(d) unrecorded liabilities are debited to this account.
(e) The balance in the account is gain (profit), if total of credit side is more than the
total of debit side and
(f) loss, if total of debit side is more than the total of credit side.
(g) Gain (Profit or loss so determined is credited or debited to Partners' Capital (or
Current) Accounts their old profit-sharing ratio.
