Transcribed Image Text:On April 1, 2019, Harinder Singh and Maryka Jones formed a partnership. Of the total
$50,000 of initial capital, Harinder contributed $36,000, with Maryka contributing the
remainder. The partnership agreement specified that annually, interest of 6% would be
paid on each partner's opening capital account balance. Further, salaries of $30,000
would be paid to each partner annually, and any remaining profit or loss would be
allocated 60% to Harinder and 40% to Maryka.
Initial profit for the first year of operations, prior to any salary or interest payments, was
$110,000.
The partnership has decided to admit a third partner, Jessica Chen, a current employee.
Harinder, Maryka, and Jessica have agreed that Jessica will join the partnership on
April 1, 2022, based on the March 31, 2022, financial statements. The partnership's
balance sheet prepared under ASPE at March 31, 2022, was as follows:
Cash
$ 13,000
Receivables
28,000
Inventory
62,000
Property, plant, and equipment, net
122,000
$225.000
Current liabilities
$ 25,000
Harinder, capital
Maryka, capital
110,000
90,000
$225,000
Harinder and Maryka are considering two alternatives for admitting Jessica to the
partnership:
Proposal A:
Jessica will contribute to the partnership $45,000 of cash, as well as equipment that
cost Jessica $10,000 but has a current market value of $15,000. Jessica will receive
a 25% share of the profits and a 20% share of the capital.
Proposal B:
Jessica will pay $20,000 directly to each of Harinder and Maryka, to purchase part
of their share of the partnership. Harinder and Maryka will each transfer 20% of their
capital to Jessica, who will have a 25% share of the profits.
