    Study Notes

    Goodwill Calculation

    • Goodwill can be calculated using different methods, including:
      • Years' Purchase of Average Profits: This method multiplies the average profits of a company by a predetermined number of years to arrive at the goodwill value.
      • Super Profits Method: This method calculates goodwill based on the excess profit a company earns above its normal rate of return on capital employed.
      • Capitalization of Average Profits: This method uses the average profits of a company and the normal rate of return to determine the capital employed and then calculates goodwill as the difference between the capital employed and the net assets.

    Partner Admissions and Revaluation

    • When a new partner is admitted to a firm, existing partners' capital accounts may need to be adjusted.
    • Revaluation Account: A revaluation account reflects changes in the value of assets and liabilities at the time of a new partner's admission.
      • It records any profits or losses resulting from the revaluation.
      • This account is closed by transferring the balance to the partners' capital accounts.

    Interest on Drawings

    • Drawings: These are amounts withdrawn by partners from the firm's capital during the year.
    • Interest on Drawings: This is an expense charged to partners for withdrawing funds before the end of the financial year.
      • Different methods for calculating interest on drawings include:
        • Direct Method: This method calculates interest for each individual drawing, taking into account the period during which the money was outstanding.
        • Product Method: This method calculates the total interest by multiplying the sum of the individual products of drawings and the period outstanding by the rate of interest.
        • Average Period Method: This method uses a simplified approach by calculating the average period for which drawings are outstanding and then multiplying by the total drawings and the interest rate.

    Partner’s Capital Accounts

    • Capital accounts track the investments and withdrawals of the partners.
    • They can be maintained under fixed or fluctuating capital methods, which affect how profits and losses are distributed and how new partner’s capital is allocated.

    Profit and Loss Appropriation Account

    • This account shows how profits and losses are distributed among partners, taking into account factors like interest on capital, drawings, salaries, and commissions.
    • It's a separate account from the profit and loss account, and is created to allocate profit/loss according to the partnership agreement.
