Study Notes
Partnership Dissolution and Liquidation
- A partner's withdrawal or retirement can be done in three ways:
- Selling interest to a new partner (Case 1)
- Selling interest equally to remaining partners (Case 2)
- Selling interest to the partnership at book value (Case 3)
Effects on Partners' Capital Accounts
- Before and after withdrawal/admission, the total contributed capital of the partnership remains the same

Death, Bankruptcy, or Incapacity of a Partner
- If a partner dies, becomes bankrupt, or becomes incapacitated within a year, all nominal accounts are closed on the date of the event
- The balance in the Income and Expense Summary account is closed to the drawing account of the affected partner
- The drawing account is then closed to the capital account
Partnership Dissolution
- Refers to the change in the relation of partners caused by a partner ceasing to be associated with the business
