7. By how much will the capital accounts of McCune, Nall, and Oakley increase, respectively,
due to the revaluation of the assets and the recognition of goodwill?
a. The capital accounts will increase by P25,000 each.
b. The capital accounts will increase by P30,000 each.
c. P18,000, P27,000, and P45,000.
d. P20,000, P25,000, and P30,000.

Answer c The assets will be valued upward by P90,000 which, allocated on a 2:3:5 basis, yields
P18,000 to McCune, P27,000 to Nall, and P45,000 to Oakely.

8. How much cash must Pavic invest to acquire a one-fifth interest?

a. P117,500.
b. P120,500.
c. P146,875.
d. P150,625.

Answer d After the revaluation, the assets will be recorded at P602,500. If Pavic is admitted
for a one-fifth interest, the P602,500 represents 80% of the total implied capital.
Dividing P602,500 by 80% gives a total capitalization of P753,150 for which
P150,625 is required from Pavic for a 20% interest.

9. What will the profit and loss sharing ratios be after Pavic’s investment?
a. 1:2:4:2.
b. 2:3:5:2.
c. 3:4:6:2.
d. 4:6:10:5.

Answer d Each of the original partners has given up 20% of their interest to Pavic. Their profit and
loss sharing ratios will therefore be 80% of what they were before the admission of
Pavic.

McCune 20% x 80% = 16%

Nall 30% x 80% = 24%

Oakely 50% x 80% = 40%

Pavic = 20%

Expressed as: 4:6:10:5
