  • What is the significance of admitting a new partner in a partnership?

    Admitting a new partner in a partnership is crucial as it brings in additional capital, expertise, and experience. New partners also share in the firm's goodwill and profits. However, this process requires 100% consent from existing partners, not just a majority vote. It leads to a reduction in the profit share of existing partners and involves understanding new ratio, sacrifice ratio, treatment of goodwill, reserves, and revaluation accounts.

  • How do existing partners adjust profit-sharing ratios when a new partner joins?

    Existing partners adjust their profit-sharing ratios when a new partner joins based on the information provided on sacrifice.

However, if the sacrifice details are provided, partners can adjust their ratios accordingly to accommodate the new partner's entry into the partnership.

  • Can you provide an example of calculating the new ratio when sacrifice details are disclosed?

    A practical example is given in the master class for calculating the new ratio when sacrifice details are provided. In a scenario where partners A, B, and C initially have a ratio of 6:5:4, and partner D joins by taking an equal share from partners A and C, the new ratio after adjustments is calculated to be 4:6:5. This example illustrates the process of recalculating ratios when sacrifice information is disclosed.
