Upon the formation of a partnership, Smith contributed 70% of the net assets, while Jones contributed 30%. However, Jones has special expertise in the business undertaken by the partnership. In recognition of this fact, the partnership agreement specifies that Jones is entitled to an additional 10% of the net assets of the business.

Even though Smith contributed 70% of the partnership’s net assets financially and Jones only 30%, the agreement specifies that Jones is to have an additional 10% share, raising his portion of capital to 40%. Therefore, Smith’s portion of partnership capital is reduced to 60%. Incorrect Question 4 0 / 1 pts Which of the following would not be (True) in the event that a newly admitted partner pays more than book value for his/her investment in a partnership? Assign a bonus to the prior partners Record unrecognized goodwill and allocate it to the prior partners Record no revaluations, bonus, or goodwill Revalue net assets up to market value and allocate to prior partners Try again. If a new partner pays more than book value for his investment in a partnership, the excess of cost over book value may be due to unrecognized goodwill or to undervalued assets. In accounting for his/her admission to the partnership, there are three methods that can be used: (1) revalue net assets; (2) recognize goodwill; and (3) use the bonus method. Under all three
methods, the revaluation of net assets, recognized goodwill, or bonus is allocated to the prior partners, since the cost of the new partner’s investment exceeds its book value. The only case in which no revaluation, bonus, or goodwill is recorded is when the new partner’s investment cost equals its book value. Please review Chapter 13.

Even though Sally contributed 70% of the partnership’s net assets financially and Mary only 30%, the agreement specifies that Jenny is to have an additional 15% share. Therefore, Sally’s portion of partnership capital is reduced to 59.5% and Mary’s to 25.5%.
