II - Partnership Formation: Bonus and Revaluation Methods
John, Jeff, and Jane decided to engage in a real estate venture as a partnership. John invested P100,000 cash and Jeff
provided office equipment that is carried on his books at P82,000. The partners agree that the equipment has a fair
value of P110,000. There is a P30,000 note payable remaining on the equipment to be assumed by the partnership.
Although Jane has no physical assets to invest in the partnership, both John and Jeff believe that her experience as a
real estate appraiser is a valuable skill needed by the partnership and is a basis for granting her a capital interest in
the partnership.
Required: Assuming that each partner is to receive an equal capital interest in the partnership,
