Transcribed Image Text:On January 2, 2017, ROYAL and BLUE decided to pool their assets and form a

of 45% and 55% for Royal and Blue, respectively. Their balance sheets on December

The firm is to take over business assets and assume business liabilities. Capitals are
to be based on net assets transferred after the following adjustments:
a. The accounts receivables of ROYAL and BLUE are both fairly valued.
b. Interest of P360 are accrued on the notes receivable; and P450 are accrued on the
notes payable.
c. The inventory of ROYAL should be valued at P7,200, while that of BLUE, P6,400.
d. The prepaid insurance still amounted to P800.
e. The machinery is under-depreciated by P960.
f. The furniture and fixtures is overstated by P1,280.
g. Accrued rent receivable of P1,200 is to be recognized in the books of BLUE.
After formation, the new capital of the partnership is based on the adjusted capital
balance of Royal, so that Blue may either withdraw or invest additional cash to make
the partners' capital balance in proportion to their profits and losses ratio.
