Adjustment of old partner’s Capital on the basis of new partner capital or New profit-sharing Ratio:
Sometimes, during the admission of a new partner, old partners decide to adjust the firm’s entire capital according to the new profit-sharing ratio. In such case, the entire capital of the new firm will be determined on the basis of the new partner’s capital and his profit sharing ratio. Therefore the capital of other partners is ascertained by dividing the total capital as per his profit sharing ratio. If the old (existing) capital of the partner after adjustment is in excess of his new capital, the excess amount is withdrawn by partner or transferred to the credit of his current account. If the old(existing) capital of the partner is less than his new capital, the partner brings the short amount or makes transfer to the debit of his current account.
Adjustment of old partner’s Capital on the basis of new partner capital:
Step 1. Calculate total capital of new firm on the basis of new partner’s capital i.e.
New partner’s capital× Reciprocal of proportion of share profit of new partner.
Step 2. Calculate the new capital of old partners by dividing the total capital in their new
profit sharing ratio.
Step 3. Calculate the adjusted closing capitals of old partners (i.e. after all adjustments have
been made)
Step 4. Calculate the surplus /deficiency in each of the old partner’s capital accounts by
comparing the new capital with their adjusted old capital which is adjusted through cash or
transferred to their Current A/c.
Adjustment of Surplus/Deficiency through Cash:
(a) If Capital of Old Partners falls short (Deficit), bring in cash:
Cash/Bank A/c ….Dr.
To Partners’ Capital A/c
(b) If capital of old partner has a surplus, withdraw cash:
Partners’ Capital A/cs ….Dr.
To Cash/Bank A/c
Adjustment of Surplus/Deficiency through Partner’s Current Account:
