Assume that Partners A and B each report a Capital Account of $500,000. Partner C wants to join the partnership as an equal one-third partner. Because the partnership has been very profitable, Partners A and B require Partner C to contribute $800,000 in cash to the partnership in return for a one-third interest. Assume that Partners A and B share profits 60% and 40%, respectively, prior to the admission of Partner C. Assume that the partners believe that the payment by Partner C provides evidence of a previously unrecorded intangible asset in the partnership and the partners wish to record the intangible on the post-realignment partnership balance sheet. After admission of Partner C, Partners A and B retain their relative proportion of profit allocation after granting Partner C a 25% profit-allocation interest. Use the Goodwill Method to record the journal entry on the books of the partnership to reflect the admission of Partner C

Respuesta :

The journal entry shows that there'll be a debit of cash for $800,000.

How to illustrate the journal entry?

The capital to be contributed will be:

= ($500000 + $500000 + $800000)/3

= $1,800,000/3

= $600,000

Capital account, Partner A = ($800000 - $600000) × 60% = $120000

Capital account, Partner B = ($800000 - $600000) × 40% = $80000

Capital account, Partner C = $600000

The journal entry will be:

Debit Cash $800000

Credit Capital account, Partner A = $120000

Credit Capital account, Partner B = $80000

Credit Capital account, Partner C = $600000

(Being the capital account of partner and C is admitted as partner)
