VII – Admission By Investment Comparing Bonus and Goodwill

b. Prefer bonus method due to ZZ’s gain of P70,000
c. Prefer goodwill method due to ZZ’s gain of P70,000
d. Be indifferent for the goodwill and bonus methods are the same
Answer - a
Bonus Method: Goodwill Method
CC AC Bonus CC AC Goodwill
XX 300,000 331,500 31,500 3/5 XX 300,000 426,000 126,000
YY 240,000 261,000 21,000 2/5 YY 240,000 324,000 84,000

790,000 790,000 -0- 790,000 1,000,000 210,000
For purposes of comparing bonus and goodwill, goodwill is assumed not realized and it should be written-
off outright as a loss, therefore:
XX YY ZZ
Capital balances if Goodwill Method is used P426,000 P 324,000 P 250,000
Less: Write-off of Goodwill (equally) __70,000 __70,000 __70,000
Capital balance after write-off of goodwill P356,000 P 254,000 P180,000
Capital balance if Bonus Method is used 331,500 261,000 _197,500
Gain (loss) if Bonus Method is used P 24,500 P( 7,000) P 17,500
VIII – Admission by Investment Comparing Bonus and Goodwill
XX and YY are partners who have capital of P300,000 and P240,000 sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. ZZ is
admitted as a partner upon investing P250,000 for 25% interests in the firm, white the other partners continue
to participate profits and losses in their original ratio. Given the choice between goodwill and bonus
method, ZZ will:
a. Prefer bonus method due to ZZ’s gain of P17,500
b. Prefer bonus method due to ZZ’s gain of P70,000
c. Prefer goodwill method due to ZZ’s gain of P70,000
d. Be indifferent for the goodwill and bonus methods are the same.
Answer - d
For purposes of comparing bonus and goodwill, goodwill is assumed not realized and it should be written-off outright
as a loss, therefore:
XX YY ZZ
Capital balances if Goodwill Method is used P 426,000 P 324,000 P 250,000
Less: Write-off of Goodwill (45%:30%:25%) ___94,500 ___63,000 ___52,500
Capital balance after write-off of goodwill P 331,500 P 261,000 P 197,500
Capital balance if Bonus Method is used __331,500 __261,000 __197,500
Gain (loss) if Bonus Method is used P -0- P -0- P -0-
The revised new profit and loss ratio are as follows:
XX: (75% x 3/5)……………………………………………………… 45%
YY: (75% x 2/5)……………………………………………………… 30%
ZZ: ……………………………………………………………………… 25%
Note: For purposes of comparing bonus and goodwill, and the goodwill is assumed not realized and the old partners still continue to
use the original profit and loss ratio (revised new profit and loss ratio based on the original profit and loss ratio of the old partners), the
partner selecting the alternative may choose either bonus or goodwill method, anyway, it may result to the same amount of capital
balance (refer to Problem VIII). However, such is not the case, where partners used an entirely new profit and loss ratio (refer to
Problem VII).

The partnership of Urich, Volks, and Wales was liquidated. The partners have shared profits and losses in the
ratio of 3:4:3. Prior to liquidation, the capital balances were the following:
Urich…………………………….. P(30,000)
Volks…………………………….. 60,000
Wales…………………………… ( 5,000)
Cash and other assets totaled P100,000 with liabilities amounting to P75,000. Liquidation left the partnership
with P60,000, not enough to pay liabilities. Each partner can contribute P10,000 (but not more) from
personal assets. Determine how much cash Urich receives or pays-in (invest) as a result of the liquidation.

Vulnerability Rankings: 1st (Most Vulnerable) – Partner A (first to suffer loss)
2nd – Partner D
3rd – Partner C
4th (Least Vulnerable) – Partner B
The vulnerability ranks indicate that partner A is most vulnerable to losses because his equity were reduced
to zero with a partnership liquidation loss of P81,000. Partner B is least vulnerable because his equity is
sufficient to absorb his share of liquidation losses up to P129,000.
This interpretation helps explain why partner B received all the cash distributed to partner on the first
installment distribution (August 20x4).
Incidentally, the cash priority program developed will yield the same cash payment as the process of
computing safe payments each time cash is available.
The first P84,000 available is, of course paid to the creditors. Cash may be held back from distribution if it is
anticipated that additional expenses will be incurred and unrecorded liabilities will be discovered.
The distribution of cash in excess of the reserve amount proceeds as determined. Partner B will receive all
of an additional ash up to P5,400.
Additional cash in excess of P5,400 and up to P7,800 is distributed 50:50 to partners B and C. Any amount
in excess of P7,800 up to P16,800 is distributed 1: 1: 1 to partners B, C, and D, respectively. After P16,800
(P5,400 + P2,400 + P9,000) has been distributed to the partners, the capital accounts are in the desired profit
and loss ratio of 4:2:2:2. Any further distributions to the partners are made in accordance with the profit and
loss ratio.
Even though both methods produce the same results, the cash payment priority program is more
informative to both personal and partnership creditors, and to the partners. Interested parties now know
the order in which the individual partners will receive cash and the amounts that each may receive at
each period of the distribution process.
One requirement that must be satisfied in the development of the advance plan is that the partners must
share income in the same ratio that they share losses.
If this were not the case the potential amount of a new loss would need to be computed after every
allocation to the partners’ capital accounts.
This occurs because the allocation of liquidation gain alters the order of cash distribution computed in the
priority program.
