What about a partner who is forced to withdraw? Business Ethics Question from Textbook Many companies with defined benefit plans are curtailing or eliminating the plans altogether With a defined benefit plan, the company guarantees some set amount(or formula-determined payment) when the employee retires Because most pension assets are invested in the stock market, whether a pension plan is fully funded of-ten depends on the strength of the stock market Be-cause of this volatility, companies often find themselves unexpectedly in a position where they must either in-crease funding or disclose significant underfunding Because of this, many companies simply reduce or eliminate the plan Consider the pension plan of Golden Years Company (GYC) Historically, GYC has been a great company to work for, with strong employee benefits GYC’s pension liability is approximately $15 million However, recently the company has been experiencing minor financial troubles in a decreasing stock market and, consequently, announced the termination of the pension plan in an effort to save costs However, the pension plan was fully funded by$9 million (the fair value of assets exceeded the expected liability) 1.How does the firm reconcile the

transaction, there is no objective basis to revalue the firm as a whole 15-7 (1) Since a debit was made to Agler’s capital account, a bonus was paid to the retiring partner of $80,000 (5/8 goodwill = $50,000), resulting in a total payment to Colter of $230,000 The entry would be: Agler, Capital 50,000 Bates, Capital 30,000 Colter, Capital 150,000 Cash 230,000 (2) Under the partial goodwill approach, only the goodwill attributed to the retiring partner is recorded Thus, the payment to Colter was $210,000 ($150,000 + $60,000) (3) Since $66,000 was credited, total goodwill of $220,000 ($66,000/0.3) is recorded Colter is allocated $44,000 ($220,000 × 0.20) Thus, the payment to Colter was $194,000 ($150,000 + $44,000) http://downloadslide.blogspot.com To Todownload downloadmore

Short Answer from the Textbook Solutions In a general partnership, the partners can bind the partnership into contracts – each partner is an agent of both the partnership and every other partner The primary difference between a general partnership and a limited partnership is that general partners are personally liable for the debts of the partnership, while limited partners are only liable for the amount invested in the partnership A joint venture is an arrangement entered into be two or more parties to accomplish a single or limited purpose for the mutual benefit of the members of the group Under the bonus method of recording changes in partnership membership, the assets of the partnership are increased by the amount of the assets invested by the partner being admitted Any difference between the assets invested and the credit to the new partner’s capital account http://downloadslide.blogspot.com To Todownload downloadmore moreslides, slides,ebook, ebook,solutions

adjusted to the existing partners’ capital accounts When a partner withdraws from a partnership, any difference between the recorded value of the assets withdrawn and the withdrawing partner’s capital account is adjusted to the remaining partner’s capital accounts Under the goodwill method, a new asset is recorded that is based on the difference between the value implied by the amount of consideration negotiated in the admission or withdrawal of a partner and the values reported in the partnership books Under this method, the firm is revalued, using the amount invested by the new partner or the amount paid to the withdrawing partner A partnership is not subject to an income tax, but the individual partners report their share of partnership income, whether distributed or not, on their respective individual tax returns A partner's capital balance represents his or her interest in the net assets of the partnership, whereas a partner's interest in income and loss represents how his or her interest in capital will be affected by the subsequent operations of the partnership Generally, a partner's capital account is used to recognize asset investments and withdrawals which are not considered temporary The partner's drawing account is generally used to record withdrawals of assets in anticipation of profitable operations of the partnership or any payments of a partner's personal expenses from partnership assets A partnership is viewed as a "separate economic entity" in accounting because it has a "separable and definable existence" The assets, liabilities, and residual capital interest, as well as the economic events which affect the various partnership accounts, require a "separable accounting" to provide necessary information to the partners and to others interested in the partnership's performance Some common methods used in allocating income and loss to partners are: fixed ratio, a ratio based on capital balances, interest on capital, and payment for time devoted to partnership operations, salary and/or bonus A withdrawal is a reduction in assets, not a distribution of income A salary is a determinate in the allocation of income and is a reward to the partner for the amount of time devoted to the partnership's operations A bonus may be calculated in several ways Some of these are: (1) net income before any income allocations are made; (2) net income after income allocations are made, but before subtracting the bonus; (3) net income after subtracting the bonus, but before any other income allocations are made; and (4) net income after all income allocations are made, including the bonus The UPA defines "dissolution" as a "change in the relation of the partners caused by any partner ceasing to be associated in the carrying on as distinguished from the winding up of the business." http://downloadslide.blogspot.com To Todownload downloadmore moreslides, slides,ebook, ebook,solutions solutionsand andtest testbank, bank,visit visithttp://downloadslide.blogspot.com http://downloadslide.blogspot.com Chapter 15 Partnerships: Formation, Operation, and Ownership Changes 15-19 The two methods used to record changes in partnership membership are (1) the bonus method and (2) the goodwill method Under the bonus method, assets of the partnership are increased by the amount of the assets invested by the new partner or decreased by the amount of the assets paid to a withdrawing partner The new (withdrawing) partner's capital account is debited (credited) for the capital interest acquired (the balance in the capital account) Any balancing amount is adjusted to the other partners' capital accounts Under the goodwill method, an intangible asset is recorded based on the difference between the value implied by the amount of consideration exchanged in the admission or withdrawal of a partner and the capital interest of the new or withdrawing partner An interest in a partnership can be acquired either (1) by purchasing all or part of an interest directly from one or more partners (outside the partnership), called an assignment of partnership interest, or (2) by investing assets in the firm to acquire an interest in the partnership 10 The bonus and goodwill methods will yield the same result when two conditions relating to the new profit and loss agreement are met These are: (1) the new partner's profit sharing interest equals his or her initial interest in capital; and (2) the old partners' profit sharing ratio is in the same relative ratio as in the old partnership 11 Neither the goodwill method nor the bonus method should be used to record the admission of a new partner when (1) the book value of the interest acquired is equal to the value of assets invested, or (2) the net assets of the firm are overvalued 12 A partner withdrawing in violation of the partnership agreement and without the other partners' approval is entitled only to his or her interest in the firm, without consideration made for any goodwill The withdrawing partner is also liable to the remaining partners for any damages created by his breach of the partnership agreement A partner forced to withdraw, however, is entitled to his full interest in the partnership, including any goodwill Business Ethics from the Textbook Solutions Business ethics solutions are merely suggestions of points to address The objective is to raise the students' awareness of the topics, and to invite discussion In most cases, there is clear room for disagreement or conflicting viewpoints The defined benefit plan creates a challenge for a firm in a fluctuating market If the firm is simultaneously struggling with other financial issues, its manager may indeed consider reducing or eliminating the plan However, such a decision should not be taken lightly, as it would remove an important and valuable benefit to its employees Certainly, there would be no reason, particularly when the plan is fully funded as it is here, to eliminate any of the previously accrued benefits However, the firm may wish to revisit the types of benefits offered in the future One alternative is to switch to a defined contribution plan This plan is somewhat less appealing to the employee, but it is certainly more desirable than no pension plan and it greatly reduces the volatility and risk to the employer

http://downloadslide.blogspot.com 15-20 Test Bank to accompany Jeter and Chaney Advanced Accounting 3rd Edition It is crucial that the employer take into account the manner in which a change in its pension plan will affect its ability to attract and keep top quality employees over the long run, as this is essential to the long-term viability of the company Changing market dynamics have made firms realize that in order to maximize long-term profits, they have to be socially responsible Firms, therefore, engage in social responsibility by responding to market demands, legal regulation, including consumer, employment and environmental laws, and by going beyond the letter of the law Laws combined with markets are often adequate to make profit-maximizing and socially responsible behavior converge The following points are among those to be considered in reconciling the tradeoffs between financial performance and responsibility to a firm’s employees: Employees can insist on socially responsible behavior, both by contract and by deciding where to work Employees can contract not only about wages and working conditions, but also concerning social responsibility of firms A corporation’s reputation for social responsibility can attract and retain employees Employees derive satisfaction from being associated with, and expect better treatment from, responsible firms The more difficult the skill set and knowledge requirements for the employees’ position are to fill, the more likely that employee is to be influenced by such benefits as pension plans and such considerations as social responsibility of the firm Workers are also investors and, more importantly, consumers The firms must not only hire and contract with its employees, but also motivate them to perform at their maximum level of effort Disgruntled workers can erode a firm’s goodwill As discussed above, unions and other groups prefer to deal with worker-friendly firms For additional
