1

Retirement of a Partner

  • Retirement occurs when a partner leaves the firm due to old age, health issues, or personal reasons.
  • The existing partnership ends, and a new one is formed among the continuing partners.
  • Accounting adjustments include new profit sharing ratio, gaining ratio, goodwill, revaluation, reserves, and settlement of dues.
2

Treatment of Goodwill

  • Goodwill is the value of a firm’s reputation and is based on past efforts of all partners.
  • Retiring partner is entitled to his share of goodwill.
  • Goodwill is not recorded unless purchased; hence, it is adjusted through capital accounts.

Revaluation of Assets and Liabilities

  • Assets and liabilities are revalued at the time of retirement or death.
  • Revaluation Account is prepared to record changes in values.
  • Profit or loss on revaluation is shared by all partners in old profit sharing ratio.
