What to Focus On
- The outgoing partner’s claim includes both additions and deductions.
- Goodwill, reserves, revaluation, and profit share all affect the final amount.
- The final settlement depends on whether the partner retires or dies.
- New share = old share + acquired share.
- Gaining ratio is found only when the new ratio is given.
- A continuing partner may neither gain nor sacrifice.
- Goodwill compensation is based on gain in future profits.
- If goodwill is absent from books, directly adjust capital accounts.
- If goodwill already appears, first write it off in old ratio.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The new profit sharing ratio and the gaining ratio are the same thing.
If one partner retires, every continuing partner automatically gains.
If the continuing partners specify a new profit sharing ratio, the old ratio should still be used for goodwill and other adjustments.
