Admission of new partner—Revaluation
Assume that Partners A and B have Capital Accounts equal to
$720,000 and $360,000, respectively. Partner C wants to join the
partnership as one-third partner. Partner C contributes $1,530,000
in cash to the partnership in return for a one-third interest.
Prior to the admission of Partner C, Partners A and B wish to
revalue the long-term assets of the partnership. They obtain an
appraisal of the land and building that indicates a current value
of $1.8 million. The land and building are currently reported on
the partnership balance sheet at $360,000.
Record the journal entry on the books of the partnership to reflect the revaluation of the land and building and the admission of Partner C with a capital contribution of $1,530,000. Assume that despite the evidence of a previously unrecognized intangible asset, the partners do not wish to record the intangible asset.
