EXAMPLE of BONUS METHOD

Net Assets PtrA Ptr B New Ptr 1/6
130 30 100 –
+ 50 50
=180
x 1/6 12 8 (20) **
=30 30
** Plug is bonus to allocate to old ptrs only.
New ptr percentage x Net Assets =
New Ptr Balance AND New Ptr buy-in amt minus New Ptr Bal. = Bonus to exist. ptrs

A

EXAMPLE of GOODWILL METHOD

Net Assets Ptr A Ptr B New Ptr
130 100 30
+ 50 50/.20=300
=180
(120)*
=300

*Plug GW and allocate to old ptrs only.
Det new Adj. Cap Bal by dividing new buy in amt by new ptrs percntg.

Q

Calculate Partnership’s New percentages with addition of a partner buying a 20% interest. Assume orignial ratio is 3:2.

A

Subtract new ptr’s percentage from 100 then
Multiply result by each ptrs original percentag

Partners were 60/40 = 100%
New ptr is 20%. 100 - 20 = 80%
80% x .60 = 48
80% x .40 = 32

Q

EXPLAIN CALCULATION FOR ALLOCATION
OF EARNINGS, PROFITS AND LOSSES IN A
PARTNERSHIP given the following:

Profits: shared equally
Losses: 60:40
Salaries: 55k: 45k
Earnings: 80,000

A
  1. Determine each partner’s portion of loss or gain beginning
    a) Earnings - Salaries = Total Loss/Gain
    b) Tot Loss/Gain x Ptr Prcntg = Ptr portion L/G.

Earnings total: 80,000
Less Salaries total 55+45 = (100,000)
a) Total Loss (20,000)

b) so, 60% of (20,000) = (12,000)
40% of (20,000) = (8,000)

next, Salary +/- gain or loss =
Alloc. of Earnings:

55,000 - 12,000 = 43,000 to Ptr A
45,000 - 8,000 = 37,000 to Ptr B

Q

CALCULATE COST FOR NEW PARTNER TO ENTER AT 1/6th
INTEREST, USING THE

                                      EXACT METHOD
A

Net Assets PtrA Ptr B New Ptr
130 100 30
+ 26 (plug) no allocation 26 = 156
= 156

  1. Existing Cap Bal / (1 - new ptr prcnt) = New Cap Bal
  2. New Cap Bal - Prev. Cap Bal = Exact Buy In Cost

EX: 130 / (5/6) = 156
156 -130 = 26

Q

Caluculate the capital balance in the partnership based on weighted average capital balance

(10% interest per year s/b credited to each partner on basis of weighted average capital balances)

A

Balance 1/1 140,000
Additional invstmt 7/1 40,000
Partner w/drawl 8/1 (15,000)
Balance 12/31 165,000

1-1 to 6-30 140,000 x 6/12 = 70,000
7-1 to 7/31 180,000 x 1/12 = 15,000
8/1 to 12/31 165,000 x 5/12 = 68,750
add totals 153,750

153,750 x .10 = interest to credit

Q

Describe the Installment Method

A

WHY - Used when risk of loss from nonpayment exists.

WHAT: Recognition of some part of the sale is deferred.

WHEN:- Payment over more than one tax year

HOW: (to calc. Gross Profit Realized)
1.) Determine Gross Profit Percentage on sale
2.) Multiply GPP x Amts Collected
= Gross Profit Realized

Q

Formula for Gross Profit Percentage used in Installment Sale.

A

SALE PRICE OF PROP
- BASIS**
= ADJUSTED BASIS

Adj Basis / Contract Price* = GROSS PROFIT percentage

  • Contract Price = Selling price less any mortgage/debt that buyer assumes.

** Purchase Price, Improvements, depreciation, casualty losss, selling expenses.

17
Q

Formula for Percentage of Completion Method.

A
  1. Tot Contract - Est Tot Costs = Est Tot Profit
  2. Cost to Date / Est Tot Costs = % of Completion
  3. Est Tot Profit x % of Comption = GP to date
  4. GP to date - GP to date at end of last period = GP in current period

Total Profit will always change!!!

*GP is added to Const in Progress (CIP) account

At year end, Billings and CIP are netted on balance sheet to report either
CA - Cost in excess of billings + profit
CL - Billings in excess of costs + profit

Anticipated losses are always recognized Immediately.

18
Q

COMPLETED CONTRACT METHOD

  • When is it Appropriate to Use?
  • When is profit Reported?
  • What account are costs and billings accunulated in?
  • Is it consistent with the matching concept?
A
  • Report no profit until job is finished (violates matching concept)
  • Still accumulate costs in CIP acct
  • Billings still accumulated in the Billings Acct
  • Considered inappropriate unless
    • Percentage of completion cannot be determined
    • Total costs cannot be estimated
19
Q

Percentage of Completion:

Quick Glance Formula

A

Total Const. Costs (act & est to complete)

= Percentage of Completion
x Tot Profit
(Actual + Estimated to Complete)
