If it is agreed that the capital of all the partners should be proportionate to the new profit sharing ratio, how will you work out the new capital of each partner? Give examples and state how necessary adjustments will be made. |

Answer» The total capital of the firm may clearly be specified and it is agreed that the capital of each partner should be proportionate to his share in profits. In such a situation each partner’s capital (including the new partner’s capital to be brought by him) is calculated on the basis of his share in profits. By bringing in additional amount or withdrawal of excess amount, the final capital of each partner can be brought up to the required level. It may be noted that subject to agreement among the partners, surplus or deficiency in each old partners’ capital accounts can also be taken care of simply by transfer to their respective current accounts. |
