CHAPTER 1 PROBLEMS
1. On July 1, 20X8, a partnership was formed by

Johnson and Smith. Johnson contributed cash. Smith, previously a sole proprietor, contributed
property other than cash including realty subject to a mortgage, which was assumed by the
partnership.
Smith's capital account at July 1, 20X8, should be recorded at
a. Smith's book value of the property at July 1,

20X8.
b. Smith's book value of the property less the mortgage payable at July 1, 20X8.
c. The fair value of the property less the mortgage payable at July 1, 20X8.
d. The fair value of the property at July 1, 20X8.
Solution. (c) For financial accounting purposes, non-cash contributions are recorded at the fair
market value of the net assets contributed as of the date of contribution.
2. Roberts and Smith drafted a partnership agreement that lists the following assets contributed at
the partnership’s formation:
Contributed by
Roberts Smith
Cash $20,000 $30,000
Inventory — 15,000
Building — 40,000
Furniture & Equipment 15,000 —
The building is subject to a mortgage of $10,000, which the partnership has assumed. The
partnership agreement also specifies that profits and losses are to be distributed evenly. What
amounts should be recorded as capital for Roberts and Smith at the formation of the partnership
Roberts Smith
a. $35,000 $85,000
b. $35,000 $75,000
c. $55,000 $55,000
d. $60,000 $60,000
Solution: (b) For financial accounting purposes, non-cash contributions are recorded at the fair
market value of the net assets contributed, as of the date of contribution. The mortgage balance
att/ ributable to the building reduces Smith’s capital by the amount of the mortgage assumed
by the partnership. Even though profits and losses will be split evenly, the capital balances do not
need to be in that ratio.

ACCTG 112
3. Abel and Carr formed a partnership and agreed to divide initial capital equally, even though
Abel contributed $100,000 and Carr contributed $84,000 in identifiable assets. Under the bonus
approach to adjust the capital accounts, Carr's unidentifiable asset should be debited for
a. $46,000
b. $16,000
c. $8,000
d. $0
Solution: (d) $0. Under the bonus method an unidentifiable asset (goodwill) is not recorded,
rather partners' capital balances are adjusted (bonus) to reflect their proper interest in capital.
4. Cor-Eng Partnership was formed on January 2, 20X4. Under the partnership agreement, each
partner has an equal initial capital balance accounted for under the goodwill method. Partnership
net income or loss is allocated 60% to Cor and 40% to Eng. To form the partnership, Cor
originally contribute assets costing $30,000 with a fair value of $60,000 on January 2, 20X4,
while Eng contributed $20,000 in cash. Drawings by the partners during 20X4 totalled $3,000 by
Cor and $9,000 by Eng. Cor-Eng’s20X4 net income was $25,000. Eng’s initial capital balance in
Cor-Eng is
a. $20,000
b. $25,000
c. $40,000
d. $60,000
Solution: (d) Under the partnership agreement, each partner has an equal initial capital balance,
and goodwill is to be recognized. Cor’s original capital balance will be $60,000, the fair market
value of the net assets contributed as of the date of contribution. Therefore, Eng’s original capital
balance will be $60,000, an equal amount, and goodwill of $40,000 will be attributed to Eng
($60,000 capital – $20,000 cash contribution).
5. Ayers and Smith formed a partnership on July 1,
20X8. Ayers contributed cash of $50,000. Smith contributed property with a $36,000 carrying
amount, a $40,000 original cost, and a fair value of $80,000.
The partnership assumed the $35,000 mortgage attached to the property. What should Smith's
capital account be on July 1, 20X8?
a. $36,000
b. $40,000
c. $45,000
d. $80,000
Solution. (c) The solution approach would be to prepare the journal entry to form the
partnership.

or losses 25% and 75% respectively. Nelson's capital account balance on February 28 is:
a. $190, 000
b. $160, 000
c. $172, 500
d. $150, 000
Solution: ($35,000 + $55,000 + $100,000 − $30,000 = $160,000)
7. A new partner is admitted to the ABC partnership by contributing land that to the partnership.
The land had cost the partner $50,000 approximately 10 years earlier and had a mortgage of
$35,000. The fair market value of the land was $95,000. The land should be recorded in the ABC
partnership at the following dollar amount:
a.$15,000
b. $60, 000
c. 95, 000
d. $40, 0000
Solution: fair market value will prevail over book value
8. Mr. Zoom and his very close friend, Mr. Boom, formed a partnership on January 1, 2009, with

5
ACCTG 112
400 and fair value of P4, 800 and inventory items, with book value of P2, 400 and fair value of
3, 200. During 2009 Boom made n additional investments of P1, 600 on April and P1, 600 on
June1, and withdrew P 4, 000 on September 1. Zoom had no additional investment or withdrawal
during the year. What was the average capital balance of Mr. Boom during 2009?
a. P8,000
b.P 9,600
c. 8, 800
d. 7,200
Solution: 4, 800 + 3, 200 = 8, 000x3 = 24, 000

1, 600+ 8, 000= 9, 600x2 = 19,200
1, 600+9, 600= 11, 200x 3 = 33, 600
11, 200- 4, 000= 7, 200x 4 = 28800
105, 600/12=8, 800

20X8 bonus amounted to
a. $12,600
b. $15,000
c. $16,500
d. $18,000
Solution: (b) Bonus = 10% (NIBT – B)

$3,000 for the year.
Solution: (c) Partners C and K are always credited or charged with the same amount of profit and
loss, and C's salary is always $3,000 greater than K's. Therefore, C will benefit $3,000 more than
K in all earnings or loss situations.
6.. The Wisper Company provides an incentive compensation plan under which its president is to
receive a bonus equal to 10% of the company's income in excess of $100,000 before deducting
income tax but after deducting the bonus. If income before income tax and bonus is $320,000

a. $20,000.
b. $22,000.
c. $32,000.
d. $44,000.
Solution:. (a) X = Net income applicable to 10% bonus
X = $320,000 – $100,000 – 10%X
X = $220,000 – 10%X 110%
X = $220,000
X = $200,000
Bonus = 10%X
= $20,000 (10% of net income in excess of $100,000 before tax, after bonus) or
B = .10 (Net income before taxes – $100,000)
B = .10 ($320,000 – Bonus – $100,000)
B = $32,000 – .1B – $10,000
1.1 B = $22,000
B = $20,000

a. $56,250
b. $60,000
c. $62,500
d. $75,000
Solution:. (b) Bonus = 25% (Net income – Bonus)

B = .25 ($300,000 – Bonus)
B = $75,000 – .25 Bonus
1.25B = $75,000
B = $60,000
9. The Low and Rhu partnership agreement provides special compensation to Low for managing
the business. Low receives a bonus of 15 percent of partnership net income before salary and
bonus, and also receives a salary of $45,000. Any remaining profit or loss is to be allocated

CHAPTER 3 PROBLEMS
1. The following balance sheet is presented for the partnership of Davis, Wright, and Dover who
share profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2 respectively:
Cash $ 60,000
Other assets 540,000
$600,000
Liabilities $140,000
Davis, Capital 280,000
Wright, Capital 160,000
Dover, Capital 20,000
$600,000
Assume that the assets and liabilities are fairly valued on the balance sheet and the partnership
decided to admit Hank as a new partner with a one-fifth interest.
No goodwill or bonus is to be recorded. How much should Hank contribute in cash or other
assets?
a. $120,000.
b. $115,000.
c. $ 92,000.
d. $ 73,600.
Solution. (b) $115,000. The investment by Hank must be an amount that, when added to the
present capital, represents one- fifth of the new total capital. This can be expressed as follows
(NC = new capital):
1/5 NC + $460,000 = NC
$460,000 = 4/5 NC
NC = $575,000
New capital $575,000 - old capital $460,000 = $115,000
2. Dunn and Grey are partners with capital account balances of $60,000 and $90,000,
respectively. They agree to admit Zorn as a partner with a one-third interest in capital and profits,
for an investment of
$100,000, after revaluing the assets of Dunn and
Grey. Goodwill to the original partners should be
a. $0

8. The assets and liabilities are fairly valued on the balance sheet. Alfa and Beda decide to admit
Capp as a new partner with a 20% interest. No goodwill or bonus is to be recorded. What amount
should Capp contribute in cash or other assets?
a. $110,000
b. $116,000
c. $140,000
d. $145,000
Solution(d) $145,000. The investment by Capp must be an amount that, when added to the
present capital ($580,000), represents one-fifth of the new total capital. This can be expressed as
follows (NC = New Capital):
NC = $580,000 + 1/5 NC
4/5 NC = $580,000
NC = $725,000
New Capital $725,000

Old Capital 580,000

10. Eagle and Falk are partners with capital balances of $45,000 and $25,000, respectively. They
agree to admit Robb as a partner. After the assets of the partnership are revalued, Robb will have
a 25% interest in capital and profits, for an investment of $30,000. What amount should be
recorded as goodwill to the original partners?
a. $0
b. $5,000
c. $7,500
d. $20,000
Solution: (d) Robb's investment of $30,000 for a 25% partnership interest represents an objective
basis for the determination of the fair value of the partnership and for the calculation of goodwill.
If $30,000 is 25% of the fair value of the partnership, then the total fair value is $120,000
($30,000 / 25%). The difference between the fair value of the partnership ($120,000) and the
total book value of the three partner's capital of $100,000 ($45,000 + $25,000 + $30,000) is
goodwill of $20,000.
