DISSOLUTION OF A PARTNERSHIP
(b) Asset Revaluation Method. Under this method, the assets of the partnership are revalued before
the admission of new partner. The sum of the adjusted capital of the old partners plus the amount invested by
the new partner is equal to the total contributed capital.
For example, a new partner invested P40,000 for a 20% interest in a new partnership’s capital. The old
partners’ capital amounted to P220,000. If the amount invested by the new partner is the basis in determining
the total capital of the firm, the total agreed capital must be P200,000 (P40,000/20%). Of the P200,000,
P40,000 is traceable to the new partner while the P160,000 is traceable to the old partners. It appears that the
assets of the old partnership are overvalued.
ILLUSTRATION:

Accounts Payable P340,000
Dayag, Capital 420,000
Guererro, Capital 380,000
Total P1,140,000 P1,140,000
Prior to the admission of Punzalan, the parties agreed that the following adjustments shall be made:
1. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounting to P20,000 is to be established while accounts amounting to
P10,000 is to be written off.
2. 5% of the merchandise inventory is obsolete with no market value while the rest is to be revalued to
their net realizable value of P400,000.

Required: Determine the capital balances of Dayag, Guererro, and Punzalan immediately after the admission.
ADMISSION OF A NEW PARTNER BY PURCHASE OF INTEREST
A partner may sell his interest to a new partner. The purchase of interest from one or more partners is
a personal transaction between the seller and the purchaser. Thus, the amount paid by the purchaser is not
reflected in the books of the partnership and no gain or loss is recognized in the books.
The only entry to record the purchase of interest is to debit the capital account of the seller and credit
the capital account of the buyer. In admission by purchase, the total assets and capital of the partnership is not
changed.
