If the partners decide to retain and liabilities at their existing values, what method should be adopted to ensure that no partner is put to any advantage or disadvantage? Give reasons for your reply.

Answer»

Solution :In such a case the firm should adopt Memorandum Revaluation Method'. The increase or decrease in value of asstes and liabilities are recorded in the first part of the account and the gain (profit) or loss arising out of it is distributed AMONG the old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.
The increased or decreased values are reversed in the second part of the account and the RESULTANT gain (profit) or loss is distributed among all the parters in their new profit-sharing ratio.
Thus, the OBJECTIVE of not putting any PARTNER to advantage or disadvantage without EFFECTING the values is achieved.
