Basics of Partnership Accounting

Mrs. A: What are you thinking about?

A: I am thinking about our shop.

Mrs. A: Is something wrong?

A: No, nothing wrong. But I am thinking about expanding it and we have full chances of its success even if we expand it.

Mrs. A: So, what is the problem then?

A: Problem is that I am not able to handle it all alone. If I appoint someone for a part of work, I will have to take care of him also. There will always be chances of misappropriation and poking in all the affairs of the business. He would tell all the secrets of our business to others.

Mrs. A: But try to understand, your work will also be shared. You can save that time and energy and concentrate on important work only; you give him routine work only.

A: But he will always be curious to know the amount of profit and would demand his share because of his efforts.

Mrs. A: Let me suggest something, my friend's brother has no stable job. If I talk to her about this and ask her brother to join you and bring money for our business, it can be fine for both of the families.

A: It can be fine, but there are chances of disputes, because of money.

Mrs. A: You get everything in writing. You may enter into written agreement with him, after fixing the terms and conditions.

A: Ok, you invite them to our place, we'll talk about this.

Both the families had a discussion and friend's brother B agreed to join A for business.

A clearly stated that profit earned will be given on the basis of his amount given for business, to which B agreed.

B: How much amount should I bring for joining you?

A: Whatever amount you want to invest plus ₹20,000.

B: Why this extra amount?

A: I have been in this business for three years and I have established a name and links with various parties. for that, this extra amount.

B: That is difficult. I don't have that much money.

A: We can adjust that from your main amount.

B: Ok.

They continued their business for a year. Then C expressed his willingness to join them.

C to A: I would like to join your business.

A: I'll ask B. If he agrees, It would be fine. By the way, how much amount will you bring for business?

C to A: I can spare ₹5,00,000.

A to B: C also wants to join us. He will bring ₹5,00,000

B to A: Ask him to give something more, this business has been there for so many years, and he will be taking the benefit of all this. Moreover, we have some profits appearing in our balance sheet also.

A to B: We'll share that before C joins. We'll also be getting all the assets and liabilities revalued before his joining the business.

A and B agreed on these points and inform C for the same. C agreed to pay ₹40,000 besides the main amount and expressed to get one third share of profits in future. A and B agreed to this and many more terms and conditions. They get it made in written form, in legal manner.

Now, A, B and C continued to run business.

One day, B expressed his willingness to leave this business to go abroad. A and C asked B to pay his dues in installments as paying the whole amount would lead to a financial setback along with already apparent managerial setback. B agreed.

How much B should get on his leaving the business?

The teacher can clear the following terms used in Partnership Accounting while discussing/dramatizing the above:

Partnership, Partnership Deed, Admission of a partner, Retirement of a partner, Goodwill, Goodwill paid in cash/kind(Premium for Goodwill), Revaluation of assets and liabilities etc.

It can be further extended to explain guarantee, death etc. also.

Guarantee of Profits https://commerceatease.com/guarantee-of-profits/ Fri, 12 Feb 2016 07:05:59 +0000 https://commerceatease.com//?p=476 Guarantee means the surety of a particular amount of profits to a partner by one or more partners, where the burden of guarantee is borne by the partners providing guarantee.

Guarantee of Profits

Guarantee means the surety of a particular amount of profits to a partner by one or more partners, where the burden of guarantee is borne by the partners providing guarantee.

If however, the amount of profit as per profit sharing ratio comes out to be equal to or more than the amount of guarantee; actual profits are paid to that partner.

The burden of guarantee means the deficiency is borne by the partners giving the guarantee, in the same profit-sharing ratio or some specified ratio.

 

Different cases of Guarantee:

Following are different commonly found cases of guarantee:

(1) Guarantee to one partner by all other partners.

(2) Guarantee to one partner by only one other partner.

(3) Guarantee by other partners, deficiency borne in a particular ratio.

(4) When a partner provides a guarantee of a minimum income to the firm and the firm provides a guarantee to a partner for a specified amount of profits.

 

(1) Guarantee to one partner by all other partners.

A, B and C are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2: 2: 1. A and B have guaranteed that C’s share in any year shall not be less than ₹ 20,000. The net profit for the year ended March 31, 2024, amounted to ₹ 60,000. Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.

Working notes (hints):

C’s share is 1/5 of 60,000, which is less than ₹ 20,000, so he must be paid ₹20,000. The remaining profit ₹40,000 must be shared equally by the remaining partners in their profit-sharing ratio.

(2) Guarantee by one partner to only one other partner.

If however, in the first case only A provides guarantee to C, then this account would be as under, showing the amount of share of profits differently.

Working notes (hints):

C’s share is 1/5 of 60,000, which is less than ₹ 20,000, so he must be paid ₹20,000. B remains unaffected and receives his profit as 2/5 share i.e.₹24,000. Then a receives ₹16,000, bearing the burden of guarantee alone.

(3) Guarantee by other partners, deficiency borne in a particular ratio.

A, B and C are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2:1. C is given a guarantee that his share of profit, in any year will not be less than ₹ 10,000. The profits for the year ending March 31, 2024, amounts to ₹ 54,000. Shortfall if any, in the profits guaranteed to C is to be borne by A and B in the ratio of 2:1. Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.

Working notes (hints):

C’s share in this case as per profit sharing ratio comes out to be ₹9,000 which is less than guarantee amount by ₹ 1,000, so he must be paid ₹10,000.The deficiency of ₹1,000 must be debited to A’s capital and B’s capital in the ratio 2:1.Then the account is to be balanced by transfer of profits to A’s capital and B’s Capital in their mutual profit sharing ratio i.e.3:2.

(4) When a partner provides a guarantee of a minimum income to the firm and the firm provides a guarantee to a partner for a specified amount of profits.

A, B and C are in partnership, sharing profits in the ratio of 3: 2: 1, provided that C’s share will not be less than ₹ 15,000 in any year. Further, B gives a guarantee that gross fee earned by him for the firm shall be equal to his average gross fee of the preceding five years, when he was carrying on his profession alone which is ₹25,000. The Net profit for the year ended March 31st 2024 is ₹ 75,000. The gross fee earned by B for the firm was ₹ 16,000. You are required to show Profit and Loss Appropriation Account.

Past Adjustments in Partnership Accounts

After preparing the Capital accounts of the partners it is sometimes discovered that there is some error in the calculation or omission of one or more items like: Interest on capital, Interest on Drawings, Salary or any other type of remuneration to one or more partners, profit sharing ratio etc.

In that case rather than cutting and preparing the capital accounts again for this correction, only adjusting entries are passed concerning the capital accounts of the partners thus affected. This has been covered under two heads here:

(1)  In case of single error:

The procedure to follow is ………Do what has not been done, cancel what has been done wrongly.

Then pass an adjusting entry by preparing a comparative table. preparing this comparative table Dr. /Cr. the partners as required by the provisions of the deed, then Cr. /Dr. to cancel as actually done.

Pass Journal entry with the excess amount in the net amount column.

Name of the   partner Dr. Cr. Net Dr./Cr.

Past Adjustments in Partnership Accounts

(2) In case of multiple errors:

When there are multiple errors to be set right, prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation account as per new correct provisions and calculate the claim of the partners separately.

Now prepare the comparative table as prepared above, Cr. the partner with the new claim and Dr. him for the amount already transferred to his capital account before such provisions were recorded correctly.

Now pass the adjusting entry with the net amount.

Capital Ratio - Ratio of Effective Capitals 

Sometimes the Profit-sharing ratio is based on partners’ capitals which keep on changing with every withdrawal or addition of capital. In this case the ratio of Effective Capitals is to be used as Profit sharing ratio.

The effective capitals are the capitals of the partners with respect to the number of months these have been used in the business during an accounting year, and can be calculated as under:

    Partner’s Capital  Number of months it remained in business        Product
      X x x x x x                                        xx        X x x x x x x x
                                      12        Total=Effective capital

Capital Ratio = Ratio of effective capitals

Note: These tables must be prepared separately for each partner.

Interest on Partner's Loan to the Firm

There are three problems relating to the Interest on loan:

(a) Rule regarding……whether to allow or not (as already discussed).

(b) Calculation………The amount of Interest on Loan (now being discussed).

Calculation of Interest on Loan

Interest on Loan is always calculated with respect to the period it has been used in the business. Simple Interest formula is to be used:

Interest on Loan = (Amount*Rate*Months)/1200

Example:

Interest on Loan @ 6% p.a. on ₹30,000 for the whole year can be calculated as under:

Interest on Loan= (30,000*6*12)/100*12=₹ 1,800 or directly=6% of 30,000 (for full year).

Example:

Interest on Loan @ 6% p.a. on ₹30,000 advanced on 1st July, accounting year ending on March 31, can be calculated as under:

Interest on Loan= (30,000*6*9)/100*12= ₹1,350.

(c) Treatment…………Journal entries and Ledger accounts

Treatment:

(a) Interest on Loan A/c                             Dr.

To Partner’s Loan A/c

(b)Profit and Loss A/c                                Dr.

To Interest on Loan A/c

 

Note: In no case Interest on Loan should be recorded in Profit and loss Appropriation account or Capital account of the partners.
