To determine

New partner investment: A new partner may acquire a share of the partnership by investing in the business. In this case, the partnership receives the cash or other assets.

Three cases of investment are possible.

  1. The new partner investment equals to the new partner’s proportion of the partnership’s book value.
  2. The investment is more than new partner’s proportion of the partnership’s book value. This indicates that the partnership’s prior net assets are undervalued on the books or the unrecorded goodwill exists.
  3. The investment is for less than the new partner’s proportion of the partnership’s book value. This suggests that partnership’s prior net assets are overvalued on its books or the new partner may be contributing goodwill in addition to the other assets.

the amount new partner S must contribute in cash or other assets in each of the given cases.

In each of the following independent liquidating distributions in which the partnership also liquidates, determine the amount and character of any gain or loss to be recognized by each partner and the basis of each asset (other than cash) received. In each case, assume that distributions of hot assets are proportionate to the partners. Be sure to explain your rationale. a. Landon has a partnership basis of $40,000 and receives a distribution of $50,000 in cash. b. Mark has a partnership basis of $50,000 and receives $20,000 of cash and a capital asset with a basis to the partnership of $25,000 and a fair market value of $40,000.
The ABC Partnership is to be liquidated and you have been hired to prepare a Schedule of Cash Payments for the partnership as well as all required journal entries. Partners Alexa, Bitsy, and Coco share income and losses in the ratio of 4:3:3, respectively. Assume the following: 1. The noncash assets were sold for $70,000. 2. Liabilities were paid in full. 3. The remaining cash was distributed to the partners. (If any partner has a capital deficiency, assume that the partner is unable to make up for the capital deficiency.) Instructions Use the above information. a. Prepare a complete Schedule of Cash Payments. b. Prepare all necessary journal entries on the journal page below. ABC PARTNERSHIP Schedule of Cash Payments Balances Before Liquidation: Item Cash $25,000 + Noncash Assets $150,000 = Liabilities $50,000 + Alexa Capital $25,000 + Bitsy Capital $35,000 + Coco Capital $65,000
