Study Notes
Concept of Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm
- Partnership involves an agreement between two or more individuals to share business profits.
- Any change in the partnership agreement results in the reconstitution of the partnership firm.
- A new agreement is created with modified relationships and composition among partners while the firm continues operating.
Modes of Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm
- Admission of a new partner occurs when additional capital or managerial help is needed.
- A new partner can only be admitted with unanimous consent from existing partners.
- Example: If partners Hari and Haqque, sharing profits in a 3:2 ratio, admit John with a 1/6 share, the partnership is reconstituted.
Change in Profit Sharing Ratio
- Existing partners may alter their profit sharing ratio to reflect changes in roles or contributions.
- Example: If Ram, Mohan, and Sohan initially share profits in a 3:2:1 ratio and decide to share equally due to Sohan's additional capital, it results in a reconstitution.
Important Considerations During Admission of a New Partner
- Determine the new profit sharing ratio after the admission.
- Calculate the sacrificing ratio for existing partners who give up part of their profit share.
- Valuation and adjustment of goodwill before making the new agreement.
- Revaluation of assets and reassessment of liabilities to reflect current values.
- Distribution of accumulated profits or reserves among the partners.
- Make necessary adjustments to the partners’ capitals based on the new structure.
New Profit Sharing Ratio
- A new partner acquires their profit share from existing partners, typically proportionate to their original ratios unless otherwise agreed.
- Determining the new profit sharing ratio involves understanding how the new partner's share is distributed among the old partners.
- Example: In a scenario where Anil and Vishal share profits in a 3:2 ratio and admit Sumit for a 1/5 share, a new profit sharing ratio must be calculated accordingly.
Sacrificing Ratio
- The sacrificing ratio reflects the proportionate share lost by existing partners to accommodate the new partner.
- Essential for adjustments during the reconstitution process.
Goodwill Considerations
- Goodwill relates to the firm's reputation and potential profitability and must be valued during the admission of a new partner.
- Treatment of goodwill varies with circumstances, requiring careful valuation.
Asset and Liability Adjustments
- All assets must be reevaluated, and liabilities reassessed to provide a clear financial picture post-reconstitution.
- Adjustments to accumulated profits and losses must also be addressed to maintain equity among partners.
