Accounting for Partnership Dissolution Accounting for a partnership is influenced by the propriety theory, which views partnership not as a distinct entity, but rather, as a ‘group of individual investors.” Measuring changes in the equity of the individual partners is a major aspect of partnership accounting. Because owne’ship changes result in the dissolution of the partnership, this provides an excelent opportunity for structure of the partnership which is presumed to be arm's length transactions that reflect the current value of the partnership. Capttal Interest versus Profit and Loss Interest ‘n preparing partnership agreement, the partners must recognize that there is a dsinction between a partner's capital interest and his/her interest in income and losses subsequently reported in the partnership. Apartner's capital interest is a claim against the net assets of the partnership as shown ty the balance in the partner's capital account. An interest in profit and loss determines how the partner's capital interest will increase or decrease as a result of wbsequent operations. hhsome cases, the relationship of the capital accounts fo one another does not corespond with the partner's profit and loss ratio. Capital balances are historical cost figures, As describe earlier, a partner's capital interest may change over time because ey result from contributions ond withdrawals made throughout the life of the business % well as from the allocation of partnership income. Therefore, any correlation between a partner's recorded capital at a particular point in time and the profit and fs percentage would probably coincidental. Fr example, Mr, X became a pariner by having a capital of P40,000 out of a total SOpital of P100,000. Mr. X received o forty-percent (40%) capital interest in the Satheship, but he was given a thirty-five percent (35%) interest in profit and loss. ‘adgnment of an interest foo Third Party A assigns his/her interest In the Partnership Is not dissolved when a partner partnership otha party, because such an assignment does nof fiself change the relationship of e pariners.

The following should be noted: . 1. The amount of the capital transfer is equal to the book value of A's capital at the time of the assignment, and is independent of the consideration received by A. 2. If the book value of A's capital is P22,500 (30% x P75,000), then the amount of the transfer entry is P22,500, regardless of whether C pays A P22,500 or some other amount. The remaining discussions of this chapter consider the problems that arise upon dissolution as a result of the: 1. Admission of a new partner: Q._ by Purchase of Interest, and b. by Investment 2. Withdrawal or retirement of a partner, 3. Death or incapacity of a partner, and 4. Incorporation of a partnership Partnerships commonly deviate from GAAP in the following areas: |. the use of the cash basis instead of the accrual basis, 2. the use of prior period adjustments, 3: the use of current values instead of historical cost (usually in connection with o change in ownership), and 4, the recognition of goodwill (usually in connection with a change in ownership). Valuation - An Issue When there iso change in the ownership of the partnership, the problem of assgring @ fair valve of the firm arises. It is a question as to whether or not the assets and libillies of the continuing partnership should be revalued, There are two approaches under this particular issue: |.

Proponents of this approach would retain the historical cost canying value.

They argue that recording an increase in fair value for external reporting is not in accordance with substance over form principle. That is, even though the partnership may be legally dissolved, the economic substance of some types of dissolution is that the business activity continues without interuption which means the new partnership is merely an extension of the old. eflect the concept of legal and business entities, respectively. These alternative views 1 a is text does not emphasize either.

Absence of revaluation approach (or bonus procedure - GAAP). Existing book values should not be adjusted to fair value unless such adjustmenis would have otherwise been allowed by GAAP: 1. Recognition of Decreases in Net Asset Revaluations (GAAP). Foloning the principle of conservatism (prudence), decreases or write-downs in the value of assets may be recognized even though they are not realized, o Recognition of unrealized losses is not unique to Partnership accounting Gnd is not in conflict with GAAP. Even if there is no dissolution, unrealized losses suggested by economic events should be fecognized. For example, PAS No. 36, “Impairment of Assets", Presents procedures for recognizing impairments of fixed assets and currently held goodwil Net asset revaluations performed using the appropriate accounting standards are in accordance with GAAP. b.2, Non-Recognition of Increases in Net Asset Revaluations (Non-GAap). There are no GAAP standards that provide for increases in.the value of Nonfinancial assats or recognition of new goodwill, solely due to a change in partnership membership. The use of absence of revaluation approach {or bonus procedure) does Prevent the recognition of asset appreciation, which would otherwise not be allowed by GAAP. Admission of a New Partner Anew partner can be admitted with the consent of all partners in the business. Such an admission brings about a new association of individuals and represents the formation of new partnership: the original partnership is considered dissolved by common consent. A Parinership agreement is binding only while the relationship between the original Parties to the agreement remains unchanged. A new agreement should be drawn up that. specifies the pariners' interests upon formation of the Partnership, the distribution of Profits and losses among partners, ond all of the other considerations relative to the new association.

An incoming partner may acquire an interest in the Partnership based on the following situations: |. No bonus (absence of revaluation) or no revaluation (goodwill) approach; 2.

The bonus approach generally follows the book-value method, that is, existing book values should not be adjusted to current values unless Such adjustments would have otherwise been allowed by GAAP. lhetefore, when a partner is admitted to an existing partnership, the total (agreed) opital of the new partnership consists of the following: The book value of the previous partnership less; 7 - 2.
