Module 1.3
Partnership Dissolution
Learning Objectives
• State the causes of partnership dissolution.
• Account for the effects of partnership dissolution on the partnership equity.
Dissolution is the change in the relation of the partners caused by any partner ceasing to be
associated in the carrying on of the business.
Admission of partner
The admission of a new partner may be effected either through:
1. Purchase of interest in the partnership, or
2. Investment in the partnership
Purchase of interest
• A personal transaction between and among the partners
• Any consideration paid or received is not recorded in the partnership books
• Only a transfer within equity is made to establish the capital account of the new partner
and decrease the capital account(s) of the selling partner(s).
• No gain or loss shall is recognized in the partnership books.
Revaluation of assets
• When a partnership is dissolved but not liquidated, a new partnership is created. The
assets and liabilities carried over to the new partnership are restated to fair values.
• Any adjustment to the assets and liabilities is allocated first to the existing partners
before recording the admission of the new partner.
• This is a transaction between the new partner and the partnership. Any consideration
paid by the incoming partner is recorded in the partnership books.
• No gain or loss shall be recognized
• When a partner withdraws, retires or dies, his interest may be purchased (a) by one or all
of the remaining partners or (b) by the partnership.
• The interest of the withdrawing, retiring, or deceased partner shall be adjusted for the
following:
a. his share of any profit or loss during the period up to the date of his withdrawal,
retirement or death; and
b. his share of any revaluation gains or losses as at the date of his withdrawal,
retirement, or death.
• Purchase by one or all of the remaining partners
This is a transaction between and among the partners (or deceased partner’s estate). As such,
the settlement amount is not recorded in the books. The only entry to be made in the
partnership books is a transfer within equity.
• Settlement by the partnership
This is a transaction between the retiring or withdrawing partner (or deceased partner’s estate)
and the partnership. As such, the settlement amount is recorded in the books.
Incorporation of a partnership
• On date of incorporation:
a. The partners’ capital balances are adjusted for their respective shares in any
profit or loss and revaluation gains or losses as at the date of incorporation. The
adjusted capital balances may be used in determining the number of shares to be
issued to each partner.
b. Normally, the books of the partnership are closed and new books are set-up for
the corporation.
