Gilroy receives a 5% bonus of partnership income. Flores and Hansen receive salaries of $10,000 each. The partnership agreement of Flores, Gilroy, and Hansen provides all partners to receive a 5% interest on capital and that profits and losses be divided of the remaining income be distributed to Flores, Gilroy, and Hansen by a 1:3:1 ratio.

LO3 Exercise 3 The profit and loss sharing agreement for the Quade, Reid, and Scott partnership provides for a $15,000 salary allowance to Reid. Residual profits and losses are allocated 5:3:2 to Quade, Reid, and Scott, respectively. In 2006, the partnership recorded $120,000 of net income that was properly allocated to the partner's capital accounts. On January 25, 2007, after the books were closed for 2006, Quade discovered that office equipment, purchased for $12,000 on December 29, 2006, was recorded as office expense by the company bookkeeper. Required: Prepare the necessary correcting entry(s) for the partnership. LO3 Exercise 4 Evans, Fitch, and Gault operate a partnership with a complex profit and loss sharing agreement. The average capital balance for each partner on December 31, 2006 is $300,000 for Evans, $250,000 for Fitch, and $325,000 for Gault. An 8% interest allocation is provided to each partner. Evans and Fitch receive salary allocations of $10,000 and $15,000, respectively. If partnership net income is above $25,000, after the salary allocations are considered (but before the interest allocations are considered), Gault will receive a bonus of 10% of the original amount of net income. All residual income is allocated in the ratios of 2:3:5 to Evans, Fitch, and Gault, respectively. Required: 1.

Capital account balances on the first day of each month are used in determining weighted average capital, regardless of additional partner investment or withdrawal transactions during any given month.

The assets will be valued upward by $90,000 which, allocated on a 2:3:5 basis, yields $18,000 to McCune, $27,000 to Nall, and $45,000 to Oakely.

After the revaluation, the assets will be recorded at $602,500. If Pavic is admitted for a one-fifth interest, the $602,500 represents 80% of the total implied capital. Dividing $602,500 by 80% gives a total capitalization of $753,150 for which $150,625 is required from Pavic for a 20% interest.

If a $400,000 payment represents 50% of total capital, then twice that amount, or $800,000, is the implied total capital including goodwill. If the present total capital is $600,000, and the implied total capital is $800,000, the amount of goodwill to record is $200,000. This goodwill is allocated 60% to Cesar and 40% to Damon. After the first entry is posted, the balances in the Cesar and Damon capital accounts will be $420,000 and $380,000, respectively. If onehalf of each partner’s interest is given to Egan, Cesar’s capital account is reduced by $210,000, and Damon’ capital account is reduced by $190,000. Requirement 2 Goodwill Cash Egan, capital

If we focus on the current capital of the partnership, $600,000, and say that it is fairly valued, then, if it represents 50% of final capital after Egan’s investment, final capital should be $1,200,000. Egan’s share of final capital will be $600,000, and, if Egan invests $500,000 for this interest, there must be $100,000 of goodwill that is allocated to Egan.

After Egan’s investment, total capital will be $1,300,000, and goodwill is therefore $100,000.

Exercise 8 Requirement 1 The assets of the partnership must be adjusted to fair market value. Land will increase by $100,000, and Inventory by $75,000. The profit and loss ratio elements add up to 25. Partner Ivory will then be allocated 9/25 of the $175,000, etc. Land Inventory Ivory, capital Jacoby, capital Kato, capital

Requirement 2 The partnership's total assets after revaluation are $900,000. If Lange acquires a 10% interest, it implies that the $900,000 represents 90% of the partnership’s value after Lange's investment. Therefore, $900,000/90% = $1,000,000, and $1,000,000 x 10% = $100,000. The entry to record Lange’s investment would be: Cash
