For instance, a partnership agreement may allow a certain partner who is bringing in expertise or special skill to the partnership to have a capital credit greater than the fair value of his contributions, In such case, the additional credit to the partner's capital (ie., the ‘bonus’) is accounted for. as a deduction from the capital of the other partners, This accounting method is called the “bonus” method, Although, the credit to the partner's capital may vary due to a ‘bonus, the corresponding debit to the asset account must still be equal to the fai value of the contribution, The difference between the amount ste: | SEne A and B agreed to form o par-smershi contributed P40,000 cash whileBeontributed equipment with fair value of P100,000, However, due to the expertise that A wil be bringing to the partnership, the partners ‘agreed that they should initially have on equal interest in the partnership capital Actual contributions Bonus A 40,000 140kx50% zee B__100,000_140kx50%' Total 140,000 70,000 740,000 10.

This stipulation may give rise to adjustments to the initial contributions of the partners, Since technically there is no "bonus" being given to a certain partner, ony increase or decrease to the capital credit of o partner is not deducted from his co"parners’ capital accounts. Instead, the capital adjustment is accounted for as either: ‘©, Cash settlement among the partners’ or b, Additional investment or withdrawal of investment of a partner A and B agreed to form a partnership. The partnership agreement stipulates the following ‘Initial capital of P140,000. +A 60:40 interest in the equity of the partnership. A contributed P100,000 cash while B contributed P40,000 cash. Requirement: Which partner shall provide additional investment (or withdraw part of his investment) in order to bring the partners’ capital credits equal to their respective interests in the equity of the partnership?
