Hi,
A partnership firm acquired assets by buyer’s credit. Generated the revenue for 3 years. The borrowing cost of the buyer’s credit was charged to the respective revenue.
After 3 years of operation the assets were transferred to closely held Pvt. Ltd. Co., where the partners are the only share holders, which is Incorporated for acquisition of the said asset and implementation of new project. However the buyer’s credit was not transferred, as 100 % margin was given by the partnership firm.
The borrowing cost including the loss due to foreign exchange incurred from the date of transfer of assets till the date of repayment of buyer’s credit is substantial amount.
Question:
a) whether the firm can transfer the liability to the Pvt. Ltd. Co. as the benefits of the asset is enjoyed by the company.
b) can this liability be treated as cost of the project under pre-operative expenses.

Book value itself is the consideration for the company. Transfer of asset is at book value and not along with its liability, so the liability can not be claimed by the comapny.
