chapter 18 - Partnership Operations inroduction ne operations of o partnership are similar in most respects to those fperating in the some fine of business. At the end of each fiscal year, when revenues ‘and ace closed out. some assignments must be made of the resuiting income figure because @ partnership wil ‘tal ot or more capital accounts rather than a single retained earings batance. Ths atocation fo the copie! fecounts s based on the agreement establshed by the partners preferably as a port of the Articles of , porinership. ‘wide range of profit cllocation is found in the business world, Some partnerships have straightfo crbution plans while others have extremely complex ones. It is the accountant's responsibil Geroule the prof or loss according fo the porinership agreement regardless of how simple or complex that agreement is. Profit cstibutions are similar to dividends for « corporation. ‘Accounting for Partnership Operations: Methods to Allocate Net Income or Loss in measuring partnership profit for a period, expenses should be scrutinized to make gute that partners’ personal expenses are excluded from the partnership's business expenses. If personal expenses of a partner are paid with partnership assets, the payment is charged to the drawing or capital account of that partner. Drawings are closed fo the capital accounts of the partners rather fo an income summary account. Practically all partnerships have a profit or loss allocation agreement. It would be rare tofind a partnership that did not spell out the divisions of profits or losses in details. The agreement must be followed precisely, and ifit is unclear, the accountant should make sute that all partners agree to the profit or loss distribution. Partners should select a formula that is sensible, practical, and equitable. The formula used fo divide profits and losses is determined through negotiations among the partners. Whether it is fair or not, it does not concern the accountant. Itis necessary that the benefit the partners expect to obtain from the combination of their respective contribution should be common fo all the partners, because if such were not the case, there would be no partnership. forms of organizations of other aaa hiforward ity f0 Now the question that arises is: “How will the partners divide the profits or losses ‘esulting from the operation of the parinership?" The Partnership Law provides that if the profit has been agreed upon, the share of each Partner in the losses shall be in the same proportion with the net income allocation. It so provides that in the absence of agreement, the share of each partner in the profits Snd fosses shall be in proportion to what they have contributed (based on capital Contribution), but the industrial partner shall receive such share as may be just'and “duitable under the circumstances. However, the law is not clear as to what capital balances shall be applied, whether the wal balances refers to original capital, beginning or end of each. period or the "tage capital during the period. in as much as the law does not clearly specify the “pital balance, itis therefore, presumed fo be the original capital, in the absence of “Ch original capital it should be the beginning capital. 1256 loss reas All SHA PTER jg The reason behind the usage of original capital {in his absence, the be, 's that, if atthe fime of formation there s no agreement, the law should apy only available capital bolance is the original capital. Even though Copital seems to be unreasonable because of inequity, logic dictat ‘ining copigy Md opply and tng sage of aging teS that proft ang should be established at the fime of formation due to some of the folowing sons: 1. Subsequent adjustments in assets and liabiities; 2. Admission of a new partner; 3.

The walt period for he end-of-he-year balances fo determine the average or ending capital would be exercise of uly because ofthe urgency of profit and loss rao, Deferal of such oefon wot ld not address the above reasons. {nthe United States, in the absence of any agreement, profit or loss should be allocated ‘equally and if they agreed on capital balances it is presumed to be the ave opital. Nevertheless, these are practices which ore not applicable under Phippine setting because ofits differing law provisions, Profits and, loss can be shared in many ways among partners of a portneship.

This allocation of profits is most ikely found in limited partnerships in which substantial investment isthe principal ingredient for success, To avoid argument, itis essential that the partnership contract specifies whether the profitshoring rato is based on (1) the original capitol investments, (2} the begining Copital account balances at the beginring of each year, (3) the balances at the end of each year (before the cisibution of net income or loss), or (4) the average bolances duting each yeor.

If the agreement between X and Y provides that the allocation of net income shall be based upon original capitals, reference would be made to the ‘amounts originally invested by the partners. Beginning Capital, When beginning copital balances are used in allocating partnership profit, additional investments during the accounting period may be discouraged becouse the partners making such investments are not compensated in the division of proft unti a later period.
