No provision was made in the partnership agreement for the allocation of partnership profits and losses. During 2023, profits were allocated equally among the partners. The partnership agreement was amended, effective January 1, 2024, to provide for the following profit and loss ratio: Blossom, 40%; Blue, 40%; and Kingbird, 20%. The amended partnership agreement also stated that the accounting records were to be maintained on the accrual basis and that any adjustments necessary for 2023 should be allocated according to the 2023 profit allocation agreement. 2.

You convinced the partners that the provision was unnecessary and should be removed from the books. The partnership charged equipment purchased for $4,700 on January 1, 2024, to expense. This equipment has an estimated life of 10 years and an estimated salvage value of $300. The partnership depreciates its capitalized equipment using the declining balance method at twice the straight-line depreciation rate. The partners agreed to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts at 2% of current accounts receivable and 5% of past-due accounts. At December 31, 2023, the partnership had $50,300 of accounts receivable, of which only $3,700 was past due. At December 31, 2024, 20% of accounts receivable was past due, of which $3,700 represented sales made in 2023 and was considered collectible. The partnership had written off uncollectible accounts in the year the accounts became worthless as follows: Accounts Written Off In 2024 2023 2024 accounts $700 2023 accounts 1,000 $300 6. Goodwill was recorded on the books in 2024 and credited to the partners' capital accounts in the profit and loss ratio in recognition of an increase in the value of the business resulting from improved sales volume. The partners agreed to write off the goodwill before admitting the new partner. Prepare a worksheet showing the adjustments and the adjusted trial balance for the partnership on the accrual basis at December 31, 2024.
