GOODWILL

Goodwill is the amount by which the value of a business as a going concern exceeds the value of

its net assets, if they were sold separately. It is an intangible asset because it cannot be touched

or seen physically. Goodwill may not be shown in the balance sheet for reasons that will be

explained later. Nevertheless, it must be considered when a partnership change occurs.

Factors that can give rise to goodwill are as follows:

·  The location of the company.

·  The quality of the product and services.

·  The quality of the employees willing to continue after the business changes hand.

·  Monopolistic advantage of the company.

·  Possession of trademarks and patent rights to be used by the buyer.

·  Opportunity for the buyer to retain the same name.

·  Quality of the research and development that can be taken over.

·  Good public image and reputation build by organization over the years.

ACCOUNT SS1 SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE

Introduction of Goodwill

Goodwill may be introduced if any of the following situations occur:

·  Admission of a new partner

·  Change in profit-sharing ratio of partners

·  Retirement or death of a partner

·  Dissolution of partnership business

·  Business purchase

Types of Goodwill

·  Inherent goodwill

·  Fugitive goodwill

·  Purchased goodwill

The first two are non-purchased goodwill. Value cannot be placed on them. These types of

goodwill exist in a business but will disappear immediately as the business changes hand.

Examples include goodwill attached to the owner of the business, location, employees and so on.

When any of these are not taken over, the goodwill will be vanished.

However, purchased goodwill arises as a result of one company acquiring another. This type of

goodwill remains in the business even if the ownership changes. The value of goodwill is the

difference between the purchase price (purchase consideration) and the book value of the assets.

ACCOUNT SS1 SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE

Valuation of Goodwill

There are many methods of valuing goodwill, the method adopted is the sole responsibility

of the partnership. The common methods are as follows:

·   Purchase of average profit

·   Purchase of average gross fee income

·   Purchase of average super profit

·   Excess of purchase price of a business over value of tangible net assets taken over.

Accounting for Goodwill in the Books of a Partnership Business

Irrespective of the method of a valuation of goodwill used, the value of goodwill can be retained

in the books or written off immediately. Goodwill account is opened and credited to partners in

their old profit-sharing ratio.

How to account for goodwill when no goodwill account is opened.

Partner often do not wish to record goodwill in their books for two reasons:

·  The value placed on goodwill is usually very difficult to justify being a matter of

opinion; it may not even exist.

·  If goodwill is shown in the balance sheet, it would be difficult to persuade a

prospective purchaser of the business to pay more, even if the value had increased since

goodwill was first introduced into the books.

When there is a partnership change and the partners decide not to open a goodwill account, the

procedure to be followed is as follows:

Step 1: Credit the partner’s capital accounts with their share of goodwill in their old

profit-sharing ratio

Step 2: Debit the partners’ capital accounts with their share of goodwill in their new

profit-sharing ratio.

ACCOUNT SS1 SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE

Apportionment of Profit

Partnership changes often occur in the middle of a firm’s financial year. If a profit and loss

account is not prepared at the time of the change, the profit and loss for the financial year

must be apportioned between the periods before and after the change. If the profit and loss

is assumed to have been earned evenly throughout the year, it should be divided between the

old and new partnership on a time basis. However, any expenses not incurred on time basis

must be allocated to the period to which they belong. The profit and loss account can be

prepared in columnar form to show the apportionment of profit.

WEEK TWO - THREE

ADMISSION OF NEW PARTNER AND RETIREMENT OF AN EXISTING PARTNER IN CONTINUING BUSINESS

Partnership changes usually occur during a financial year and the accounting records are contrived without interruption. Final accounts are prepared at the end of the financial year.

When a partner leaves the firm or a new partner joins, it marks the end of one partnership and the beginning of a new one. No records and entries are made in the books as at the period of change until the end of the financial year. In the process, revaluation of asset, valuation of goodwill and changes in the profit/loss sharing ratio may occur.

Illustration 5: Admission of a new partner

Dami and Lola have shared profits and losses in the ration of 3:2. On 1 October 2010, they decided to admit Bola as a partner. No entries to record Bola’s admittance as a partner were

made in the books before the end of the financial year on 31 December 2010.
