New partners investment:a new partner acquires a share in partnership by investing in the business in the form of cash or other assets. There are three possible cases when a new partner invests in partnership.

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

The case in which new partner’s capital credit is less than, more than or equal to the amount invested by him.
