  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
