Explanation of Solution

Given: 30% interest in partnership is sold to an incoming partner for 30% of existing capital balances.

Explanation: In such a situation, incoming partner contributes to existing partner in return of their share i.e., a new partner deals directly with an existing partner/partners. Following are two major concerns admitting of new partner:

  1. The transaction doesn’t take place between the partnership firm and new partner. Instead, it is between new partner and existing partner/partners.
  2. The consideration given by new partner may not be a reliable indicator for valuation of existing parter’s share in partnership. There exist a high possiblity that less consideration is paid for an existing partner’s share with high value.
