How will you compute the amount payable to a deceased partner? |
|
Answer» The sum due to the retiring partner (in case of retirement) and to the legal representatives/ executors (in case of death) includes: • credit balance of his capital account; • credit balance of his current account(if any); • his share of goodwill ; • his share of accumulated profits (reserves); • his share in the gain of revaluation of assets and liabilities; • his share of profits up to the date of retirement/death; • interest on his capital, if involved, up to the date of retirement/death; and • salary/commission, if any, due to him up to the date of retirement/death. The following deductions, if any, may have to be made from his share: • debit balance of his current account(if any); • his share of goodwill to be written off; if necessary; • his share of accumulated losses; • his share of loss on revaluation of assets and liabilities; • his share of loss up to the date of retirement/death; • his drawings up to the date of retirement/death; • interest on drawings, if involved, up to the date of retirement/death. |
