Week 2

Reconstitution of Partnership - Admission, Retirement and Death of a Partner (goodwill, revaluation, sacrifice and gain ratios)

  • Compute sacrifice ratio and gain ratio in four admission and retirement scenarios, including one where the ratio is inferred from capitals

  • Prepare revaluation account, partners' capital accounts and the opening balance sheet on admission of a partner

  • Post the treatment of accumulated reserves, revaluation profit and goodwill raised and written off through the capital accounts
