Go through this Partnership Accounts-Retirement and Death of a Partner – CS Foundation Fundamentals of Accounting and Auditing Notes will help students in revising the entire subject quickly.

1. Retirement of a partner means when a partner leaves the firm.

2. A partner may retire in any of the following ways:

• with consent of all the partners.
• in accordance with an express agreement by the partners.
• where the partnership is at will, by giving notice in writing to all other partners of his intention to retire.

Note: Partnership at will is a type of partnership which does not have any fixed duration and can come to an end according to the will of the partners.

3. Due to retirement, only the old partnership comes to an end but the firm continues (in case of more than two partners).

A partner after retirement, is entitled to his share in the following:

• Share in goodwill
• Share in reserves
• Share in revaluation of assets/liabilities
• Share in accumulated profits
• Share in joint life policy (if any).

Accounting treatment on retirement of a partner involves the following:

• Calculation of new profit sharing ratio.
• Treatment of reserves and undistributed profits.
• Revaluation of assets and liabilities.
• Treatment of goodwill.
• Adjustment of capital by remaining partners.
• Payments to the retiring partner including his interest in the firm.

1. Calculation of New Ratio:

• When a partner retires, his share of profit is distributed among the remaining partners.
• As a result, the remaining partner’s share of profit increases.

Note- Gaining Ratio:
The ratio at which the remaining partners’gain the share of retiring partner, it is known as the gaining ratio.
It is calculated as follows:
Gaining Ratio = New Ratio – Old Ratio

Example:
A, B and C are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4:3:2. B retires and A and C decide to share profit/losses in future in the ratio of 5:4. Calculate gaining ratio.
Solution:
Gaining Ratio = New Ratio – Old Ratio
A’s gaining share = $$\frac { 5 }{ 9 }$$ – $$\frac { 4 }{ 9 }$$
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 9 }$$
C’s gaining share = $$\frac { 4 }{ 9 }$$ – $$\frac { 2 }{ 9 }$$
= $$\frac { 2 }{ 9 }$$
So gaining ratio between A and C is 1 : 2
This implies that A and C will gain the share of B in the ratio of 1 : 2.

Calculation of new profit sharing ratio:
If the remaining partners purchase the share of retiring partner in some specified proportions, then the fraction of share purchased by them is added to their old share to get the new share.

Example:
A, B and C were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:4:3. C retired and his share was taken up by A and B in the ratio of 3:2. Find out the new ratio.
Solution:
C’s share will be divided between A and B in the ratio of 3:2.
A will gain = $$\frac { 3 }{ 5 }$$ of $$\frac { 3 }{ 12 }$$
= $$\frac { 9 }{ 60 }$$
Hence, A’s new share = $$\frac { 5 }{ 12 }$$ + $$\frac { 9 }{ 60 }$$
= $$\frac { 34 }{ 60 }$$
B will gain = $$\frac { 2 }{ 5 }$$ of $$\frac { 3 }{ 12 }$$
= $$\frac { 6 }{ 60 }$$
Hence, B’s new share = $$\frac { 4 }{ 12 }$$ of $$\frac { 6 }{ 60 }$$
= $$\frac { 26 }{ 60 }$$
New Ratio = A $$\frac { 34 }{ 60 }$$ : B $$\frac { 26 }{ 60 }$$ or 17 : 13

Note : If the new profit sharing ratio of remaining partners are not given, it will be assumed that the remaining partners continue to share profits and losses in old ratio.

2. Treatment of undistributed profits and reserves:

• The retiring partner is entitled to the accumulated profits and reserves appearing in the firm.
• At the time of retirement these reserves should be transferred to all the old partners in the old profit sharing ratio.
• Journal Entries:

(i) For distributing reserves and accumulated profits:
General Reserve A/c Dr.
Reserve Fund A/c Dr.
Profit/Loss (Cr. balance) A/c Dr.
To All Partners Capital A/c (in old ratio)

(ii) For distributing accumulated losses:
All Partners Capital A/c Dr.
To P/L A/c (Dr. balance) (old ratio)

(iii) For transferring specific funds:
Workmen Compensation Fund A/c Dr.
Instrument Fluctuation Fund A/c Dr.
To All Partners Capital A/c

Alternatively, instead of transferring full amount to all the partners, only the share of profit of retiring partner shall be transferred to his capital A/c.

Reserves and Profit A/c Dr.
To Retiring Partners Capital A/c.
(share of retiring partner).

3. Revaluation of Assets and Liabilities:

• Retirement of a partner is a form of reconstitution of the firm and hence, revaluation of assets and liabilities is required.
• The purpose of revaluation is that the retiring partner should get the benefits from the change in the value of assets and liabilities.
• Revaluation of assets and liabilities will be carried out in the same way as in case of admission.
• If value of assets and liabilities have to be changed – Revaluation A/c will be prepared.
• If assets and liabilities are to be shown at original figures then Memorandum Revaluation Account is prepared.
• Profit from revaluation will be transferred to old partners in old ratio.
• Revaluation A/c Dr. – To All-Partners Capital A/c (old ratio)
• Loss from revaluation shall be debited to Partners Capital Account.
• All Partners Capital A/c Dr. To Revaluation A/c (old ratio)

4. Treatment of Goodwill:

• Goodwill earned by the firm is the result of the efforts of all partners and the goodwill shall be distributed among all the partners at the time of retirement.
• As already studied in the previous unit, Goodwill A/c cannot be raised in the books of account until it is purchased.
• Hence in case of retirement, adjustment for goodwill will be made through Partner’s Capital A/c.
Continuing Partners Capital A/c Dr.
To Retiring Partners Capital A/c
(in gaining ratio with the share of goodwill of retiring partner)
• Goodwill A/c is not opened only Capital A/c of the partners may be debited and credited with the necessary accounts.

5. Capital in Profit Sharing Ratio:
After retirement of a partner, the remaining partners may decide that their capitals be in their new profit sharing ratio. The adjustments in the capital accounts for this purpose may be made either by bringing in or payment of cash or through current accounts.

6. Purchase of retiring partner’s share by remaining partners:
The retiring partner’s share may be purchased by the remaining partners in an agreed ratio. In such case, retiring partner’s capital account is closed by transfer to the remaining partner’s capital accounts in the ratio in which they agree to purchase his share.

7. Computation of retiring partner’s interest in the firm:
(i) Retiring partner’s interest represents the amount due to retiring the partner in the firm.

Installments may be paid in the following ways –
(i) Decreasing payment method:
Here the total amount due is divided in equal installments and amount of installment plus interest on the outstanding balance is paid out.
It is so called because as and when the payment is made the outstanding balance goes on decreasing. Due to this, interest also reduces.

(ii) Equal Payment Method:
Here the total amount to be paid is divided in number of equal installments such that every payment (installment + interest) is equal.
Hence, it is known as equal payment method.

Death of a Partner:

(a) 01 : 01
(b) 02 : 02
(c) 07 : 08
(d) 03 : 05
Answer:
(c) 07 : 08
A’s old ratio = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$
B’s old ratio = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$
C’s old ratio = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$
Gaining ratio of A and C = 2 : 3
Gaining share of A = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ x $$\frac { 2 }{ 5 }$$ = $$\frac { 2 }{ 15 }$$
Gaining share of C = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ x $$\frac { 3 }{ 5 }$$ = $$\frac { 3 }{ 15 }$$
A’s new ratio = Old ratio + Gaining ratio
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ + $$\frac { 2 }{ 15 }$$ = $$\frac { 7 }{ 15 }$$
New Ratio between A and C = $$\frac { 7 }{ 15 }$$ : $$\frac { 8 }{ 15 }$$ = 7 : 8

(a) 1 : 1
(b) 2 : 3
(c) 7 : 8
(d) 3 : 5.
Answer:
(c) 7 : 8
Calculation of New Profit or Loss Sharing Ratio
Old Ratio of A, B and C partners is 1 : 1 : 1
After retirement of B, his share is distributed between A and C in 40 : 60.
Therefore, New Ratio of A’s = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ + ($$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$x$$\frac { 4 }{ 10 }$$)
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ + $$\frac { 4 }{ 30 }$$ = $$\frac { 14 }{ 30 }$$ = $$\frac { 7 }{ 15 }$$
C’s = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ + ($$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ x $$\frac { 6 }{ 10 }$$)
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ + $$\frac {6}{ 30 }$$ = $$\frac {16}{ 30 }$$ = $$\frac {8}{ 15 }$$
New share between A and C is 7:8
Thus option (c) is Right.

B’s new shares (after purchase of retiring partner) : $$\frac { 90 }{ 160 }$$ – $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ = $$\frac { 110 }{ 480 }$$
B’s gain : $$\frac { 110 }{ 480 }$$ = $$\frac { 50 }{ 480 }$$ = $$\frac { 50 }{ 110 }$$ = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$
Hence, ratio of gain between A & B is 1 : 2; option (c) is correct.

(a) Old profit Sharing ratio
(b) Gaining ratio
(c) Sacrificing ratio
(d) New profit sharing ratio.

77. A, B and C were partner ‘B’ died and his share was taken over by A & C equally and later ‘P’ was enter for ‘1/4’ share. Find the new profit sharing ratio.
(a) 3 : 3 : 2
(b) 1 : 1 : 2
(c) 4 : 3 : 2
(d) None of the above
Answer:
(a) 3 : 3 : 2
A : B : C
$$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ : $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ : $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$
B died and his share taken by A & B equally hence
B = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ x $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ → $$\frac { 1 }{ 6 }$$
A’s share = Old Ratio + Gaining Ratio
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ + $$\frac { 1 }{ 6 }$$ → $$\frac { 2+1 }{ 6 }$$ → $$\frac { 3 }{ 6 }$$ = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$
C’s Share = Old + Gaining
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ + $$\frac { 1 }{ 6 }$$ → $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$
P is admitted for $$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$th share.
1 – $$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$ → $$\frac { 3 }{ 4 }$$
A’s share = $$\frac { 3 }{ 4 }$$ x $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ → $$\frac { 3 }{ 8 }$$
C’s share = $$\frac { 3 }{ 4 }$$ x $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ → $$\frac { 3 }{ 8 }$$
P’s Share = $$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$
Hence, new Ratio of A : C : P = $$\frac { 3 }{ 8 }$$ x $$\frac { 3 }{ 8 }$$ → $$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$
i.e. 3 : 3 : 2
