revaluation
New partner can admit into the partnership after the revaluation of assets of the business. It
means that before the admission of new partner, all the assets will be revalued to get the fair
value of business. In that case a revaluation account is created to settle the increase or decrease
in the value of assets and then it is transferred to the old partners’ capital.
