Ramadhin, Statham and Trueman formed a partnership on 1 January 2016. The draft profit for the year ended 31 December 2016 before appropriation was $232 000, but did not account for the following: A non-current asset costing $20 000 was purchased on 1 July 2016. No depreciation has been charged on this asset. The partnership’s policy is to charge depreciation at 20% using the reducing balance method on all assets. A full year’s depreciation is charged in the year of purchase and none in the year of disposal. Some inventory which had been valued at a cost of $15 000 had been damaged. The mark-up on inventory is 100%. The damaged inventory could only be sold for 20% of the normal selling price. REQUIRED Calculate the adjusted profit for the year ended 31 December 2016 before appropriation. Additional information On 1 January 2016 Ramadhin, Statham and Trueman had introduced capital of $600 000 in their agreed profit and loss sharing ratio of 3 : 2 : 1 respectively. The other terms of the partnership agreement were as follows: Interest of 6% per annum is to be paid on the opening capital account balances. Each partner is to take drawings of $10 000 per annum. Interest is to be charged on total annual drawings at 4% per annum. Trueman is to receive a salary of $1000 per month. REQUIRED Prepare the partnership appropriation account for the year ended 31 December 2016. Explain why partners may value goodwill and revalue the assets when one partner retires. Additional information Trueman received an offer of employment which would provide him with a gross annual income of $50 000. He decided to accept the offer and leave the partnership on 31 December 2016. At that date goodwill was valued at $12 000. It was also agreed that the partnership assets should be revalued at $7500 less than their net book values. Trueman agreed to leave 40% of the balance due to him as a loan to the partnership at an interest rate of 10% per annum. The remainder was paid to him from the business bank account. REQUIRED Prepare a statement showing the amount that Trueman received on leaving the partnership. Assess whether or not Trueman was correct in his decision to leave the partnership. Justify your answer by discussing the financial and non-financial factors involved. Additional information Trueman asks Ramadhin and Statham for an early repayment of his loan to the partnership.
