Question
On August 1, AA and BB pooled their assets to form a partnership, with the firm to take over their business assets and assume the liabilities. Partners capitals are to be based on net assets transferred after the following adjustment. Profit and loss are allocated equally.BB’s inventory is to be increased by P4,000; an allowance for doubtful accounts of P1,000 and P1,500 are to be set up in the books of AA and BB, respectively; and accounts payable of P4,000 is to be recognized in AA’s books. The individual trial balances on August 1, before adjustments follows:AA BBAssets P75,000 P113,000Liabilities 5,000 34.500What is the capital of AA after the above adjustments?
Solution
To calculate the capital of AA after the adjustments, we first need to calculate the net assets of AA before adjustments. This is done by subtracting liabilities from assets.
AA's assets = P75,000 AA's liabilities = P5,000
Net assets of AA before adjustments = Assets - Liabilities = P75,000 - P5,000 = P70,000
Next, we need to adjust AA's net assets based on the information given. The adjustments for AA include an increase in accounts payable of P4,000 and an allowance for doubtful accounts of P1,000.
Adjusted net assets of AA = Net assets before adjustments - Increase in accounts payable - Allowance for doubtful accounts = P70,000 - P4,000 - P1,000 = P65,000
Therefore, the capital of AA after the adjustments is P65,000.
