Explanation / Answer

1)

Answer is (a) limited life.

2)

Answer is (a) Dissolution.

3)

Profit earned by partnership firm = 90000

Salary paid to both partners = 63000 + 81000 = 144000

Loss recognised in Profit and loss account = Profit earned - Salary paid to both partners = 90000 - 144000 = 54000

Loss shared between both partners A and B = 54000/2 = 27000

Salary credited in A's capital = 63000

Loss debited in A's capital = 27000

Net effect on A's capital = 63000 - 27000 = 36000

Answer is c. $36000 increase

4)

Amount invested by A = 60000

Total capital of other partners before admitting = 180000

Total amount of capital after admitting A = 60000 + 180000 = 240000

A's capital = 240000*1/5 = 48000

Answer is d. $48000

5)

Total capital after admitting = 400000

Share of B's in total capital = 400000*20% = 80000

Investment made by B = 120000

Bonus shares by original partners = 120000 - 80000 = 40000

Answer is d. The original partners received a bonus of $40000.
