In a situation where partners agree to adjust their capitals proportionate to their profit sharing ratio during the admission of a new partner, what happens if a partner's capital falls short after all adjustments have been made? |
The partner with a capital shortfall will withdraw the short amount of capital The partner with a capital shortfall will bring in the necessary amount to cover the shortage The partner with a capital shortfall will transfer the shortage to the new partner's capital account The new partner will transfer the shortage capital to the shortfall partner's capital account |
The partner with a capital shortfall will bring in the necessary amount to cover the shortage |
The correct answer is option 2- The partner with a capital shortfall will bring in the necessary amount to cover the shortage. During the admission of a new partner, the partners agree to adjust their capitals proportionate to their profit-sharing ratio, and if a partner's capital falls short after all adjustments have been made, the partner will be required to bring in the necessary amount to cover the shortage. This ensures that the partners' capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the agreed-upon capital proportions. |
