Thane and Ulrich Are Partners in TU Consulting Services, Sharing

Question 94

Essay

Thane and Ulrich are partners in TU Consulting Services, sharing partnership income in a 3:2 ratio. The partners want to reduce their involvement in the partnership by bringing in a third partner to take over most of the responsibilities. Volker purchases a 60 percent interest in the partnership by paying Thane and Ulrich a total of $360,000 for 60 percent of each of their interests. Volker will take control of partnership activities, with Thane and Ulrich providing support services as needed. The partnership balance sheet immediately prior to admission of Volker is as follows:
AssetsLiabilities Cash $50,000 Accounts payable $80,000 Supplies 120,000 Notes payable 200,000 Equipment 460,000 Total liabilities  Capital 280,000 Capital-Thane 100,00 Capital-Ulrich 250,00 Total capital 350,00 Total assets $630,000 Total liabilities and capit al $630,00\begin{array}{lrlr}\text {Assets}&&\text {Liabilities}\\\text { Cash } & \$ 50,000 & \text { Accounts payable } &\$ 80,000 \\\text { Supplies } & 120,000 & \text { Notes payable } & 200,000 \\\text { Equipment } & 460,000 & \begin{array}{l}\text { Total liabilities } \\\text { Capital }\end{array} & 280,000 \\& & \text { Capital-Thane } & 100,00 \\& & \text { Capital-Ulrich } & 250,00 \\ & & \text { Total capital } & 350,00 \\ \text { Total assets } &\$630,000 & \text { Total liabilities and capit al } & \$ 630,00 \\\end{array}
Because there is a change in control, the partners decide that revaluation of partnership assets is appropriate. The supplies have a fair value of $150,000, and the equipment has a fair value of $520,000. There are no unrecorded identifiable assets.
