Accounting – Logical Reasoning – ICAI Module – Partnership (Unit 1)

As per Sec 4 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932; Partnership is the relationship between persons who
have agreed to share the profits of the business carried on by all or by any of them acting for all.
Thus the share of profits may or may not be equal.
Hence the correct option: c

Registration of the Partnership agreement is not mandatory. If the agreement is registered, it is called
Partnership deed.
Hence the correct option: c

Partners’ contribution towards the business of the firm is called as capital. When such capitals of
partners are not allowed to change, except in extraordinary circumstances, contributions by the
partners are called fixed capitals. In such a case, adjustments regarding interest on capitals, salary to
partners, drawings, profits or losses are done through partners’ current accounts. In this case two
Capital Accounts are maintained i.e. Fixed Capital and Current Capital.
Hence the correct option: d

As per Sec 13(d) of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932; in absence of an agreement to the contrary,
the partners shall be entitled for 6% interest on loans / advances to the firm over and above the
agreed capital contribution whether there are profits or not.
Hence the correct option: d

A partner is an agent acting on behalf of the firm / other partners. Though partners may be entitled to
salary, they are not the employees of the firm for outsiders.
Hence the correct option: a

The profit of Rs. 7,800 will be shared by Bill and Monica in the ratio 3:2. Thus their share will be 7,800 X
3/5 and 7,800 X 2/5 i.e. 4,680 & 3,120. (All other information is irrelevant – MBKL)
Hence the correct option: a

If partnership deed provides for the interest on capital, partners are entitled for interest on capital only
in case of profits. Thus in this case the amount of interest cannot exceed Rs. 2,400, which will be shared
by them in the proportion of their capital i.e. 25,000:15,000 or 5:3. Thus the interest on capital will be
1,500 and 900.
Hence the correct option: b

Meeta’s salary = 4,000 X 12 = Rs. 48,000


Profit after salary but before commission = 6,78,000 – 48,000 = 6,30,000
Let the commission be ‘X’. Thus profit after commission = 6,30,000 – X
Commission = 5% of (6,30,000 – X). Thus X = 5% of (6,30,000 – X).
Thus X = 30,000
Meeta’s remuneration = 48,000 + 30,000 = 78,000
Hence the correct option: a

As per Sec 4 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932; Partnership is the relationship between persons who

have agreed to share the profits of the business carried on by all or by any of them acting for all.
Hence the correct option: d

While calculating the profit for the purpose of valuation of Goodwill, all exceptional profits or losses are
ignored. However for the calculating the book profit these need to be considered.
Hence the correct option: b

As per Sec 13(d) of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932; in absence of an agreement to the contrary, the
partners shall be entitled for 6% interest on loans / advances to the firm over and above the agreed
capital contribution whether there are profits or not.
Partners are entitled to Salary, commission and share in Profit only if the agreement so provides.
Hence the correct option: c

If partnership deed provides for the interest on capital, partners are entitled for interest on capital only
in case of profits.
Hence the correct option: a

Partners are required to pay the interest on drawings if it is agreed by partners and is provided in the
agreement or partnership deed. Thus both ‘a’ & ‘c’ are correct.

Guarantee by one partner to another is the transaction between the two partners and not an obligation
of the firm or other partners.
Hence the correct option: c

As the partners B & C has given the guarantee, A has the right to draw to the extent of minimum
guaranteed amount from the firm.
Hence the correct option: c

As per Indian Partnership Act, 1932; in absence of any agreement to the contrary all the partners will
share the profits equally.
Hence the correct option: b

As per Sec 13(d) of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932; in absence of an agreement to the contrary, the
partners shall be entitled for 6% interest on loans / advances to the firm over and above the agreed
capital contribution whether there are profits or not.
Hence the correct option: d

Profit & Loss Appropriation A/c shows the way in which the profits are to be allotted. In case of
proprietorship firm the entire profit is at the discretion of the proprietor and thus the appropriation
account is not prepared. However it may be prepared in case of partnership firm.
Hence the correct option: b

Time frame involved: 1 month of contribution + 12 months of withdrawal = 13 months.

Thus average time to be considered = = 6.5 months


Hence the correct option: d

Interest on drawings is an income of the firm and hence it is to be credited to P&L A/c of the firm.
Hence the correct option: c

Partner’s Fixed Capital A/c will have ‘Credit’ Balance.


If salary, commission, interest on capital, share of profit etc. etc are more than the drawings, interest on
drawings then the current A/c will show credit balance and vice versa. Partner’s Current A/c may have
either of the balances.
Hence the correct option: c

Rent paid is an expense of the firm and thus is a charge against profit and not appropriation of the
profit.
Hence the correct option: b

Drawings are the amounts withdrawn by the partners from the firm. The entry for drawings is:
Partner’s Capital A/c Dr (If Fixed & Current A/cs are not maintained)
Partner’s Current A/c Dr (If Fixed & Current A/cs are maintained)
To Drawings A/c
Hence the correct option: a

As per Sec 13(d) of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932; in absence of an agreement to the contrary,
the partners shall be entitled for 6% interest on loans / advances to the firm over and above the
agreed capital contribution whether there are profits or not.
Thus the interest payable to A: 20,000 X 6% = Rs. 1,200 is to be provided for. Profit after providing
for the interest = Rs. 80,000 – 1,200 = Rs. 78,800.
As per the Indian Partnership Act, 1932; in absence of an agreement to the contrary, the partners
shall share profits and losses equally. Thus the share of each of the partners = 78,800 / 3 = Rs.
26,267 and A will additionally get Rs. 1,200 as interest.
Hence the correct option: a

If partnership deed provides for the interest on capital, partners are entitled for interest on capital only
in case of profits. In this case as the profits are inadequate, interest on capital will not be allowed and
the profit will be shared by X, Y & Z equally i.e. Rs. 2,000 each.
Hence the correct option: a

In absence of any agreement, partners are entitled to interest on Loans @ 6% and not entitled interest
on capital.
Thus interest payable to Y: 80,000 X 6% = Rs. 4,800.
Balance profit = 6,000 – 4,800 = 1,200 will be shared by all the partners equally i.e. Rs. 400 each.
Thus X & Z would get Rs. 400 each and Y will get Rs. 400 + 4,800= Rs. 5,200
Hence the correct option: c

Partners’ contribution towards the business of the firm is called as capital. When such capitals of
partners are not allowed to change, except in extraordinary circumstances, contributions by the
partners are called fixed capitals. In such a case, adjustments regarding interest on capitals,
salary to partners, drawings, profits or losses are done through partners’ current accounts. In

Hence the correct option: a

The points a, b & c are true about Partnership & Joint Venture. However, it is not mandatory to
have MOU for Joint venture.
Hence the correct option: d

Every partner is bound to attend diligently to his DUTIES in the conduct of the business.
