P 15-5 | Adjusting Entries for Partner
Admisson | |||||||||
The CAB Partnership, although
operating profitably, has had a cash flow problem. Unable to meet
its | ||||||||||
current commitments, the firm
borrowed $34,000 from a bank giving a long-term note. During a
recent | ||||||||||
meeting, the partners decided
to obtain additonal cash by admiting a new partner to the firm.
They feel | ||||||||||
that the firm is an
attractive investment, but that proper management of their liquid
assets will be required. | ||||||||||
Meyers agrees to invest cash
in the firm if her chief accountant can reiew the accounting
records of the partnership. | ||||||||||
The balance sheet for CAB Partnership as of Decemer
31, 2008, is as follows: | ||||||||||
Assets | ||||||||||
Cash | 8,000 | |||||||||
Accounts Receivable | 33,600 | |||||||||
Inventory (at cost) | 35,750 | |||||||||
Land | 27,000 | |||||||||
Building (net of
depreciation) | 41,600 | |||||||||
Equipment (net of
depreciation) | 27,250 | |||||||||
Total | 173,200 | |||||||||
Libalities and
Capital | ||||||||||
Accounts Payable | 32,450 | |||||||||
Other Current liabilites | 6,750 | |||||||||
Long-term note (8% due
2008) | 34,000 | |||||||||
Cox, Capital | 37,500 | |||||||||
Andrews, Capital | 25,000 | |||||||||
Bennet, Capital | 37,500 | |||||||||
Total | 173,200 | |||||||||
The review of the accounts
resulted in the accumulation of the following information: | ||||||||||
1) Approximately 5% of the
accounts receivable are uncollectible. The old partnership had been
using | ||||||||||
the direct write-off method of
accounting for bad debts. | ||||||||||
2) Current replacement cost of
the inventory is $41,250. | ||||||||||
3) The market value of the
land based on a current appraisal is $65,000. | ||||||||||
4) The partners had been
using an unreasnably long estimated life in establishing a
depreciation policy | ||||||||||
for the building. On the
basis of sound value (current replacement cost adjustment for
use.), the value | ||||||||||
of the building is
$32,750. | ||||||||||
5) There are unrecorded
accrued liabilities of $3,275. | ||||||||||
The
parthners agree to recognize the foregoing adjustments to the
account. Cox, Andrews, and | ||||||||||
Bennet share profits
40.30.30. After the admission of Meyers, the new profit agrement is
to be 30.20.30.20. | ||||||||||
Meyers is to recive a 25%
capital interest in the partnership after she invest sufficient cas
to increase | ||||||||||
the total capital interest to
$150,000. Because of the uncertainty of the business, no goodwill
is to be | ||||||||||
recognized before or after
Meyers is admitted. | ||||||||||
Required: | ||||||||||
A) Prepare the necessary
journal entries on the books of the old partnership to adjust the
accounts. | ||||||||||
B) Record the admisson of
Meyers. | ||||||||||
C) Prepare a new balance sheet
giving effect to the foregoing requirements. | ||||||||||
