Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm – Retirement/Death of a Partner 3 LEARNING OBJECTIVES After studying this chapter you will be able to: • calculate new profit sharing ratio and gaining ratio of the remaining the partners after retirement/death of a partner; • describe the accounting treatment of goodwill in the event of retirement/ death of a partner; • make the necessary entries in respect of unrecorded assets and liabilities; • make necessary adjust- ment for accumulated profits or losses; • ascertain the retiring/ deceased partner claim against the firm and explain the mode of its settlement; • prepare the retiring partner’s loan account, if required; and • prepare the deceased partner’s executor’s account in the case of death of a partner and the balance sheet of a reconstituted firm.
You have learnt that retirement or death of a partner also leads to reconstitution of a partnership firm.

On the retirement or death of a partner, the existing partnership deed comes to an end, and in its place, a new partnership deed needs to be framed whereby, the remaining partners continue to do their business on changed terms and conditions.

There is not much difference in the accounting treatment at the time of retirement or in the event of death.
In both the cases, we are required to determine the sum due to the retiring partner (in case of retirement) and to the legal representatives (in case of deceased partner) after making necessary adjustments in respect of goodwill, revaluation of a assets and liabilities and transfer of accumulated profits and losses.

In addition, we may also have to compute the new profit sharing’s ratio among the remaining partners and so also their gaining ratio, This covers all these aspects in detail.
3.1 Ascertaining the Amount Due to Retiring/ Deceased Partner The sum due to the retiring partner (in case of retirement) and to the legal representatives/ executors (in case of death) includes: (i) credit balance of his capital account; (ii) credit balance of his current account (if any); (iii) his share of goodwill; (iv) his share of accumulated profits (reserves); (v) his share in the gain of revaluation of assets and liabilities; Rationalised 2023-24 108 Accountancy – Not-for-Profit Organisation and Partnership Accounts (vi) his share of profits up to the date of retirement/death; (vii) interest on his capital, if involved, up to the date of retirement/death; and (viii) salary/commission, if any, due to him up to the date of retirement/death.
The following deductions, if any, may have to be made from his share: (i) debit balance of his current account (if any); (ii) his share of goodwill to be written off, if necessary; (iii) his share of accumulated losses; (iv) his share of loss on revaluation of assets and liabilities; (v) his share of loss up to the date of retirement/death; (vi) his drawings up to the date of retirement/death; (vii) interest on drawings, if involved, up to the date of retirement/death.
Thus, similar to admission, the various accounting aspects involved on retirement or death of a partner are as follows: 1.

Ascertainment of new profit sharing ratio and gaining ratio; 2.

Treatment of goodwill; 3.

Revaluation of assets and liabilities; 4.

Adjustment in respect of unrecorded assets and liabilities; 5.

Distribution of accumulated profits and losses; 6.

Ascertainment of share of profit or loss up to the date of retirement/death; 7.

Adjustment of capital, if required; 8.


Settlement of the amounts due to retired/deceased partner; 3.2 New Profit Sharing Ratio New profit sharing ratio is the ratio in which the remaining partners will share future profits after the retirement or death of any partner.

The new share of each of the remaining partner will consist of his own share in the firm plus the share acquired from the retiring /deceased partner.
Consider the following situations : (a) normally, the continuing partners acquire the share of retiring or deceased partners in the old profit sharing ratio, and there is no need to compute the new profit sharing ratio among them, as it will be same as the old profit sharing ratio among them.
In fact, in the absence of any information regarding profit sharing ratio in which the remaining partners acquire the share of retiring/deceased partner, it is assumed that they will acquire it in the old profit sharing ratio and so share the future profits in their old ratio.

For example, Asha, Deepti and Nisha are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1.

If Deepti retires, the new profit sharing ratio between Asha and Nisha will be 3:1, unless they decide otherwise.
(b) The continuing partners may acquire the share in the profits of the retiring/deceased partner in a proportion other than their old ratio, In that case, there is need to compute the new profit sharing ratio among them.

For example: Naveen, Suresh and Tarun are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2.

Suresh retires from the firm and his share was Rationalised 2023-24 Retirement/Death of a Partner 109 required by Naveen and Tarun in the ratio 2:1.
In such a case, the new share of profit will be calculated as follows: New share of Continuing Partner = Old Share + Acquired share from the Outgoing Partner Gaining Ratio 2 : 1 Share acquired by Naveen Share acquired by Tarun Share of Naveen Share of Tarun = = = = = = 2 3 2 3 1 3 1 3 of 3 10  3 10 = 2 10 of 3 10  3 10 = 1 10 5 2 7 + = 10 10 10 2 1 + 10 10 = 3 10 Thus, the new profit sharing ratio of Naveen and Tarun will be = 7 : 3.
(c) The contributing partners may agree on a specified new profit sharing ratio: In that case the ratio so specified will be the new profit sharing ratio.

3.3 Gaining Ratio The ratio in which the continuing partners have acquired the share from the retiring/deceased partner is called the gaining ratio.
Normally, the continuing partners acquire the share of retiring/deceased partner in their old profit sharing ratio, In that case, the gaining ratio of the remaining partners will be the same as their old profit sharing ratio among them and there is no need to compute the gaining ratio, Alternatively, proportion in which they acquire the share of the retiring/deceased partner may be duly spacified.
In that case, again, there is no need to calculate the gaining ratio as it will be the ratio in which they have acquired the share of profit from the retiring deceased partner.

The problem of calculating gaining ratio arises primarily when the new profit sharing ratio of the continuing partners is specified.
In such a situation, the gaining ratio should be calculated by, deducting the old share of each continuing partners from his new share i.e., new profit share minus old profit share, i.e., new profit share minus old profit share.

For example, Amit, Dinesh and Gagan are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5:3:2.

Dinesh retires.

Amit and Gagan decide to share the profits of the new firm in the ratio of 3:2.
The gaining ratio will be calculated as follows : Rationalised 2023-24 110 Accountancy – Not-for-Profit Organisation and Partnership Accounts Amit’s Gaining Share Gagan’s Gaining Share = 3 5  5 10 = 2 2  5 10    6 5 10  4 2 10   1 10 2 10 Thus, Gaining Ratio of Amit and Gagan = 1:2 This implies Amit gains 1 3 and Gagan gains 2 3 of Dinesh’s share of profit.
Gaining share of Continuing Partner = New share – Old share Do it Yourself Distinguish between Gaining Ratio and Sacrificing Ratio in terms of: 1.

Calculate new profit sharing ratio and gaining ratio if 1.

Madhu retires 2.

Neha retires 3.

Tina retires.

Solution Given old ratio among Madhu : Neha : Tina as 5 : 3 : 2 1.
If Madhu retires, new profit sharing Ratio between Neha and Tina will be Neha : Tina = 3:2 and Gaining Ratio of Neha and Tina =3:2 2.

If Neha retires new profit sharing Ratio between Madhu and Tina will be Madhu : Tina = 5:2 Gaining Ratio of Madhu and Tina = 5:2 3.

If Tina retires, new profit sharing ratio between Madhu and Neha will be: Madhu : Neha = 5:3 Gaining ratio of Madhu and Neha = 5:3 Illustration 2 Alka, Harpreet and Shreya are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2:1.
Alka retires and her share is taken up by Harpreet and Shreya in the ratio of 3:2.

Calculate the new profit sharing ratio.
Rationalised 2023-24 Retirement/Death of a Partner 111 Solution Gaining Given, Ratio of Harpreet and Shreya = 3:2 = 3 2 : 5 5 Old Profit Sharing Ratio of between Alka, Harpreet and Shreya 3:2:1 = Share acquired by Harpreet = Share acquired by Shreya = 3 5 2 5 of of 3 6 3 6 = = 9 30 6 30 New Share = Old Share + Acquired Share Harpreet’s New Share Shreya’s New Share = 2 9  6 30 = 1 6  6 30   19 30 11 30 New Profit Sharing Ratio of Harpreet and Shreya = 19:11 3 2 1 6 6 6 : : Illustration 3 Murli, Naveen and Omprakash are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 1 8 and .
Murli retires and surrenders 2/3rd of his share in favour of Naveen 3 1 , 8 2 and the remaining share in favour of Omprakash.

Calculate new profit sharing and the gaining ratio of the remaining partners.
Solution (i) Old Share (ii) Share Acquired by Naveen and Omprakash from Murli (iii) New Share = (i) + (ii) Naveen Omprakash 1 2 2 8 2 3 of 3 8  2 1  2 8 6 8 or 3 4 = = = 1 8 1 8 1 3 of 3 8  1 1  8 8 = 2 8 or 1 4 Thus, the New profit sharing Ratio = 3 1 : 4 4 or 3:1, and the Rationalised 2023-24 112 Accountancy – Not-for-Profit Organisation and Partnership Accounts Gaining Ratio = 2 1 : 8 8 or 2:1 [as calculated in (ii)].
Illustration 4 Kumar, Lakshya, Manoj and Naresh are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1 : 4.

Kumar retires and his share is acquired by Lakshya and Manoj in the ratio of 3:2.

Calculate new profit sharing ratio and gaining ratio of the remaining partners.
Solution (i) Old Share (ii) Acquired Share from Kumar (iii) New share = (i) = (ii) Lakshya Manoj Naresh 2 10 3 5 of 3 10 = 9 50 9 2  10 50 = 19 50 1 10 2 5 of 3 10 = 6 50 4 10 Nil Nil = 6 1  10 50 = 4 10  Nil = 11 50 = 20 50 The New Profit Sharing Ratio is 19 : 11 : 20 Gaining ratio is 3 : 2 : 0 Notes : 1.

Since Lakshya and Manoj are acquiring Kumar’s share of profit in the ratio of 3:2, hence, the gaining ratio will be 3:2 between Lakshya and Manoj.

Calculate the gaining ratio.

3.4 Treatment of Goodwill The retiring or deceased partner is entitled to his share of goodwill at the time of retirement/death because the goodwill has been earned by the firm with the efforts of all the existing partners.
Hence, at the time of retirement/death of a partner, goodwill is valued as per agreement among the partners the retiring/ deceased partner compensated for his share of goodwill by the continuing partners (who have gained due to acquisition of share of profit from the retiring/ deceased partner) in their gaining ratio.

The accounting treatment for goodwill in such a situation depends upon whether or, not goodwill already appears in the books of the firm.
3.4.1 When goodwill does not appear in the books When goodwill does not appear in the books of the firm, credit is given to the retiring partner for the share in goodwill by debiting the goodwill account to gaining partners capital accounts (individually) in their gaining ratio.

In such a situation his capital account will also be credited along with the retiring/deceased partner’s capital account in proportion to his sacrifice and the other continuing partners’ capital accounts will be debited based on their gain in the future profit ratio.

10,000 25,000 35,000 3.6 Adjustment of Accumulated Profits and Losses Sometimes, the Balance Sheet of a firm may show accumulated profits in the form of general reserve and/on accumulated losses in the form of profit and loss account debit balance.

The retiring/deceased partner is entitled to his/her share in the accumulated profits and is also liable to share the accumulated losses, if any.
These accumulated profits or losses belong to all the partners and should be transferred to the capital accounts of all partners in their old profit sharing ratio.

The following journal entries are recorded for the purpose.

(i) For transfer of accumulated profits (reserves), Reserves A/c Dr. To All Partners’ Capital A/c’s (Individually) (Reserves transferred to all partners’ capital account’s in old profit sharing ratio).
(ii) For transfer of accumulated losses All Partners’ Capital A/c’s (Individually) Dr. To Profit and Loss A/c (Accumulated loss transferred to all partners’ capital accounts in their old profit-sharing ratio) For example; Inder, Gajender and Harinder are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1.
Inder retires and the Balance Sheet of the firm on that date was as follows: Books of Inder, Gajinder and Harinder Balance Sheet as on March 31, 2017 Liabilities Creditors General Reserve Capital Accounts: Inder Gajender Harinder 1,00,000 55,000 50,000 Amount Assets (Rs.)

45,000 30,000 15,000 (General Reserves transferred to all partners’ capital accounts in the old ratio on Inder’s retirement) When Partner Retires in the Middle of the Year Normally retirement of a partner takes place at the end of accounting period.

But there can be a case where a partner decides to retire in the middle of the year.
In such a case the claim shall include share of profit or loss, interest on capital, interest on drawings if any, from the date of last balance sheet to the date of retirement.

Here, the main problem relates to the calculation of profit for the intervening period, i.e., the period from the date of last balance sheet and the date of retirement.
Let us understand by way of example: Maira, Shabnam and Vipul were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:4:1 profits for the year ending on March 31, 2019 was Rs.

1,00,000.

Vipul decides to retire on June 30, 2019.

The new profit sharing ratio of the firms is 1:1.

Vipul's share of profit for the period of from April 01 to June 30, 2019 shall be calculated as: Total profit for the year ending on 31st March, 2017 = Rs.
1,00,000 Vipul's share of profit: Proceeding Year's × Proportionate Period × Share of Deceased Partner = Rs.

1,00,000 3 4  12 10 = Rs.

In the absence of any agreement, Section 37 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 is applicable, which states that the outgoing partner has an option to receive either interest @ 6% p.a.

till the date of payment or such share of profits which has been earned with his/her money (i.e., based on capital ratio).

Hence, the total amount due to the retiring partner which is ascertained after all adjustments have been made is to be paid immediately to the retiring partner.
In case the firm is not in a position to make the payment immediately, the amount due is transferred to the retiring Partner’s Loan Account, and as and when the amount is paid it is debited to his account.

The necessary journal entries recorded are as follows.

Rationalised 2023-24 134 Accountancy – Not-for-Profit Organisation and Partnership Accounts 3.8 Adjustment of Partners’ Capitals At the time of retirement or death of a partner, the remaining partners may decide to adjust their capital contributions in their profit sharing ratio.

In such a situation, the sum of balances in the capitals of continuing partners may be treated as the total capital of the new firm, unless specified otherwise.
Then, to ascertain the new capital of the continuing partners, the total capital of the firm is divided amongst the remaining partners as per the new profit sharing ratio, and the excess or deficiency of capital in the individual capital account’s may be worked out.

Such excess or shortage shall be adjusted by withdrawal of contribution in cash, as the case may be, for which the following journal entries will be recorded.
(i) For excess capital withdrawn by the partner : Dr. Partners’ Capital A/c To Cash / Bank A/c (ii) For amount of capital to be brought in by the partner: Cash / Bank A/c To Partners’ Capital A/c Dr.

Consider the following situations: The adjustment of the continuing partner’s capitals may involve any one of the three ways as illustrated as follows : 1.

When the capital of the new firm as decided by the partners is specified.
Illustration 14 Mohit, Neeraj and Sohan are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 2 : 1 : 1.

Neeraj retires and Mohit and Sohan decided that the capital of the new firm will be fixed at Rs.

1,20,000.

The capital accounts of Mohit and Sohan show a credit balance of Rs.

82,000 and Rs.

41,000 respectively after making all the adjustments.

Calculate the actual cash to be paid off or to be brought in by the continuing partners and pass the necessary journal entries.

Deepa retires.

After making all adjustments relating to revaluation, goodwill and accumulated profit etc., the capital accounts of Asha and Lata showed a credit balance of Rs.

1,60,000 and Rs.

80,000 respectively.


It was decided to adjust the capitals of Asha and Lata in their new profit sharing ratio.

You are required to calculate the new capitals of the partners and record necessary journal entries for bringing in or withdrawal of the necessary amounts involved.

3.9 Death of a Partner As stated earlier, the accounting treatment in the event of death of a partner is similar to that in case of retirement of a partner, and that in case of death of a partner his claim is transferred to his executors and settled in the same manner as that of the retired partner.

However, there is one major difference that, while the retirement normally takes place at the end of an accounting period, the death of a partner may occur any time.
Hence, in case of a partner, his claim shall also include his share of profit or loss, interest on capital, interest on drawings (if any) from the date of the last Balance Sheet to the date of his death of these, the main problem relates to the calculation of profit for the intervening period (i.e., the period from date of the last balance sheet and the date of the partner’s death.
Since, it is Rationalised 2023-24 Retirement/Death of a Partner 141 considered cumbersome to close the books and prepare final account, for the period, the deceased partner’s share of profit may be calculated on the basis of last year’s profit (or average of past few years) or on the basis of sales.

For example, Bakul, Champak and Darshan were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5:4:1.

The profit of the firm for the year ending on March 31, 2017 was Rs.1,00,000.
Champak died on June 30, 2017.

Bakul and Darshan decided to share profits equally.

Champak’s share of profit for the period from April 1 to June 30, 2017, shall be calculated as follows: Total profit for the year ending on 31st March, 2017 = Rs.1,00,000 Champak’s share of profit : Proceeding Year’s Profit ´ Proportionate Period ´ Share of Deceased Partner = Rs.

Summary 1.

New Profit Sharing Ratio: New profit sharing ratio is the ratio in which the remaining partner will share future profits after the retirement or death of any partner.
New Share = Old Share + Acquired Share from the Outgoing partner 2.

Gaining Ratio: Gaining ratio is the ratio in which the continuing partners have acquired the share from the retiring deceased partner.

3.

Treatment of Goodwill: The basic rule is that gaining partner(s) shared compensate the sacrificing partner to the extent of their gain for the respective share of goodwill.
If goodwill already appears in the books, it will be written off by debiting all partner’s capital account in their old profit sharing ratio.

4.

Revaluation of Assets and Liabilities: At the time of retirement/death of a partner, there may be some assets which may not have been shown at their current values.

Similarly, there may be certain liabilities which have been shown at a value different from the obligation to be met by the firm.
Besides this, there may be unrecorded assets and liabilities which have to be recorded.

5.

Accumulated Profits or Losses: The reserves (Accumulated profits) or losses belong to all the partners and should be transferred to capital account of all partners.

6.

Retiring partner/deceased partner may be paid in one lump sum or installments with interest.
