ADVANCED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING & REPORTING PROF. ROEL E. HERMOSILLA
WEEK 1 - ACCOUNTING FOR PARTNERSHIP
PARTNERSHIP FORMATION
There are no authoritative pronouncements concerning the accounting for partnership. The principles
described have evolved through accounting practice.
Partnership Formation
The partnership is a separate accounting entity (not to be confused with a separate legal
entity), and therefore its assets and liabilities should remain separate and distinct from the individual
partner’s personal assets and liabilities.
All assets contributed to the partnership are recorded by the partnership at their fair market
values. All liabilities assumed by the partnership are recorded at their present values.
Upon formation, the amount credited to each partner’s capital account must be equal to the
amount of cash contributed or equal to the fair market value of the noncash contributed or equal to the
difference between the fair market value of the assets (including goodwill, if any) contributed and the
present value of the liabilities assumed from the partner. The capital accounts represent the residual
equity of the partnership. The capital account of each partner reflects all of the activity of an individual
partner; contributions, withdrawals, and the distributive share of net income (loss). In some cases, a
drawing account is used as a clearing account for each partner’ transactions with only the net effect of
each period’s activity shown in the capital account.
Example: Partnership Formation
A and B form a partnership. A contributes cash of P50,000, while B contributed land with a fair
market value of P50,000 and the partnership assumes a liability on the land of P25,000.
The entry to record the formation of the partnership is
Cash P50,000
Land 50,000
Liabilities P 25,000
A, capital 50,000
B, capital 25,000
Sometimes, a partner will contribute intangible benefit to the partnership like good management skills,
good business reputation, business connections, or anything that will bring in higher income to the
business. The partners may agree to quantify this in the form of either goodwill or bonus.
Example: C and D agreed to form a partnership, with C contributing P100,000 cash and D contributing
P150,000 cash. The partners agreed that C will also contribute an intangible benefit to the business for
C to have an initial equal interest in the partnership.
If the bonus method is to be used, the entry in the partnership books must be:
(1) To record the initial contribution of partners:
Cash P250,000
C, Capital P100,000
D. Capital 150,000
(2) To record the bonus recognized:
D, Capital P25,000
C, Capital P25,000
