Question 4.
Why do firm revaluate assets and reassess their liabilities on retirement or on the event of death of a partner?
Answer:
At the time of retirement/ death some of assets may not have been shown at their current values. Similarly, there may be certain liabilities which have been shown at a different from the obligation to be met by the firm. Besides this, there may be unrecorded assets and liabilities which have to be recorded.

It is necessary that the retiring/deceased partner is given a share of all profits that have arisen till his retirement or death and is made to bear his share of losses that have occurred till that period. This necessitates revaluation of assets and liabilities.

In other words, at the time of retirement or death of a partner, assets and liabilities of a firm are revalued on the reasons that they should be shown at current market value and the resultant profit and loss due to difference in the book value and market value be recofded in all partner’s capital accounts and the assets and liabilities comes at right value in the new balance sheet of the new firm.

Question 5.
Why a retiring/deceased partner is entitled to a share of goodwill of the firm?
Answer:
The outgoing partner i.e. retiring/deceased partner is entitled to his share of goodwill at the time of retirement or death because the goodwill has been earned by the firm with the efforts of all the partners. Therefore goodwill is valued as per agreement, at the time of retirement/death.

Due to retirement/death of any partner, the remaining partners make a gain because the future profit will be shared only between the continuing partners. Therefore, the remaining partners should compensate the retiring/deceased partner for his share of goodwill in the gaining ratio.

In absence of any agreement, Section 37 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 is applicable, which states that the retiring partner has an option to receive either interest as the rate of 6% p.a. till the payment of his/her amount due or such share of profits which has been earned with his/her money i.e. based on the Capital ratio. The necessary journal entries are as follows:

Question 2.
How will you compute the amount payable to a deceased partner?

Whenever partner dies, a partnership will come to end immediately, although the firm may continue with the remaining partners by purchasing the share of the deceased partner. When a partner dies, his representatives or the executors of his estate are entitled to all the rights like s.hare of goodwill, share in the gain of the revaluation of assets and liabilities, share in joint life policy, share of undistributed profits, reserves of the deceased partner.

The executors of deceased partner are entitled to the following :

• His share of got dwill;
• His share of profit till the date of death;
• His share of profit on revaluation of assets and liabilities;
• His share of accumulated profits and reserves

• His share of Joint Life Policy (if any)
• His salary and commission (if any).

The following deductions have to made from the above :

• His drawings, interest of drawings till the date of death;
• His share of loss till the date of death
• His share of loss on revaluation of assets and liabilities;
• His share of the reduction in the value of goodwill (if any).

The share of the deceased partner can be computed by preparing his capital account. The specimen of the deceased partner’s capital accoiint is as follows :

Executor’s A/c – Dr.
To Bank A/c
(For the payment made to executor of deceased partner)

When Interest is due :
Interest A/c – Dr.
To Executor’s A/c
When Instalment paid along with interest Executor’s A/c – Dr.
To Cash/Bank A/c

Question 3.
Explain the treatment of goodwill at the time of retirement or on the event of death of a partner?
Answer:
The retiring/deceased partner is entitled to his share of goodwill at the time of retirement/death because the goodwill has been earned by the firm with the efforts of all the partners. Therefore, goodwill is valued as per agreement, at the time of retirement/death.

Due. to retirement/death of any partner, the remaining partners makes a gain because the future profit will be shared only between the continuing partners. Therefore, the continuing partners should compensate the retiring/deceased partner for his share of goodwill in the gaining ratio.

The accounting treatment for goodwill depends upon whether the goodwill already appears in the books of the firm or not.
When goodwill does not appears in the books :
When goodwill does not appears in the books of the firm, there are four following ways to compensate the retiring/deceased partner for his share of goodwill :

(a) Goodwill is raised at its full value and retained in the books:
Goodwill A/c – Dr.
To All Partner’s Capital A/c’s (Individually)
(For the goodwill raised at its full value and credited to Capital A/c’s of all partners in their old profit sharing ratio)
The full value of goodwill appear in the new balance sheet.

(b) Goodwill is raised at its full value and written off immediately:
If it is decided that the goodwill will not appear in the balance sheet of the reconstituted firm, then following journal entries will pass:
(i) Goodwill A/c – Dr.
To All Partner’s Capital A/c’s (individually)
(For raising of Goodwill and credited to All Partner’s Capital A/c in their old profit sharing ratio)

(ii) Remaining Partner’s Capital A/c’s – Dr.
To Goodwill A/c
(For written off Goodwill between remaining partners in their new profit sharing ratio)

(c) Goodwill is raised to the extent of retired/deceased partner’s share and written off immediately:
(i) Goodwill A/c – Dr.
To Retiring/Deceased Partner’s Capital A/c (For the goodwill raised by share of 1 retiring/deceased partner)

(ii) Retiring/Deceased Partner’s Capital A/c – Dr.
To Goodwill A/c
(For the goodwill written off between the remaining partner’s in their gaining ratio)

(d) No Goodwill account is raised at all in firm’s books :
If the retiring/deceased partner’s share of goodwill is adjusted in the capital accounts of the remaining partners without opening a goodwill account, the following entry will required :

Remaining Partner’s Capital A/c – Dr.
To Retiring/Deceased Partner’s Capital A/c
(For the share of retiring/deceased partner in the goodwill adjusted through capital accounts in the gaining ratio)

When Goodwill is already appearing in the books:
(a) If the value of goodwill appearing is equal to the current value of goodwill of the firm :
Normally, no adjustment is required if both the amounts are same. Because goodwill stands credited in the accounts of all the partners including the retiring/deceased one.

(b) If the book value of goodwill is lower than its present value: if the book value is less than the current value, the difference will be debited to goodwill account and credited to Old Partner’s Capital Accounts in their old profit sharing ratio
Goodwill A/c – Dr.
To a All Pamter’s Capital A/c (individually)
(For goodwill raised to its present value)

(c) If the book value of Goodwill is more than the agreed or present value:
If the book value of goodwill is more than the present value, the difference will be debited to the All Partner’s Capital Account in their old profit sharing ratio and credited to the goodwill account.

All Partner’s Capital A/c (individually) – Dr.
To Goodwill A/c
(For goodwill brought down to its present value)

Alternatively:
1. First write off the existing goodwill appearing in the books:
All Partner’s Capital A/c (individually) – Dr.
To Goodwill A/c
(For write off goodwill to all partners in their old profit sharing ratio)

2. Adjust retiring/deceased partner’s share of goodwill through Capital Accounts:
Remaining Partner’s Capital A/c – Dr.
To Retiring/Deceased Partner’s Capital A/c
(For goodwill share of retiring/deceased partner adjusted to remaining partner’s capital Accounts in their gaining ratio)

Hidden Goodwill:
If the firm has agreed to settle the retiring/deceased partner by paying him a lump sum, then the amount paid to him in excess of what is due to him based on the capital accounts balance after making all adjustments like accumulated profits and losses and revaluation profit or loss etc. shall be treated as his share of goodwill known as hidden goodwill.

Question 4.
Discuss he various methods of computing the share in profits in the event of death of a partners.
Answer:
The executors of the deceased partner will be entitled to his share of profit accrued upto the date of death. To avoid the preparation. of final accounts on the date of death, it is provided in the partnership deed that, in the event of the death of a partner, his share of the accurring profit upto to the date of death is to calculated on the basis of profits of the last year or on the basis of profits of last few years or on the basis of sales.

Therefore it is calculated by any one of the following methods :
(i) On the basis of time
(ii) On the basis of turnover

(i) On the basis of time : Here, we have to assumed that profit was uniform throughout the year. According to this method, profit may be calculated by any one of following method :

(a) On the basis of last year’s profit:
Profit of the firm till the date of death of partner
\(=\frac{\text { Previous YearProfit }}{12} \)
Balance Sheet to the date of death
Share of Deceased Partner = Profit of the firm till the date of death x Deceased Partner’s Share.

(b) On the basis of average profits :
\(\text { Average Profit }=\frac{\text { Total Profit of given years }}{\text { No. of years }}\)
Profit of the firm till the daite of death of pamter
\(=\frac{\text { Average Profit }}{12} \times\) Number of month ftom last.
Balance Sheet to the date of death Share of Deceased Partner = Profit of the firm till the date of
death of partner x Deceased Partner’s Share.

Example: Shubu, Shuchita and Puneeta were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio 5:3:2. Shuchita dies on 30th June, 2006 i.e. six months after closing of the books. Profit for last three years:

Years —– Rs.
2003 —– 50,000
2004 —– 40,000
2005 —- 30,000

Compute the Shuchita’s share of profit on the date of death:
(i) On the basis of immediately preceding year’s profit.
(ii) On the basis of average profits of the preceding three years.
Solution :
(i) Profit of the firm till the date of death of partner
\(=\frac{\text { Previous Year Profit }}{12}\) No. of months from last
Balance Sheet to the date of death

(ii) On the basis of turnover (or sales):
Profit of the firm till the date of death of partner

Average Profit of a given No. of years OR Previous Year’s Profit
\(=\frac{\times \text { Sale from the date of last Balance Sheet till the date of death }}{\text { Sale of Last Year }}\)

Share of Deceased Partner = Profit of the firm till the date of death x Deceased Partner’s Share

Example : A, B and C are partners sharing profit in the ratio of 3 :2 :1. B dies on 1 st July 2006, whereas books of accounts are closed on 31st March, every year. Sale of last year amount to Rs. 4,00,000 and that from 1st April to 30th June, 2006 to Rs. 1,50,000. The previous year profit amounted Rs. 40,000. Compute B’s share of profit in the firm from 31st March to 30th June, 2006 on the basis of sales.
