Accounting for Partnerships
QUESTIONS
1. Under the circumstances described, the death, bankruptcy, or legal inability of a
partner to execute a contract ends a partnership. In addition, if a partnership is
organized for the purpose of completing a specific business project, the partnership
ends when the project is completed. If the business for which the partnership was
organized cannot be completed, but goes on indefinitely, the partnership may be
dissolved at the will of any one of its partners.
2. Mutual agency means that each partner is an agent of the partnership and can
commit it to contracts that are within the normal scope of its business.
3. All partners in a general partnership have unlimited liability. A limited partnership
includes both general and limited partners, and the limited partners have no
personal liability for partnership debts. Also, the general partners assume the
management duties of the partnership.
4. Yes, partners can limit the right of a partner. Such an agreement is binding on
members of the partnership. It is also binding on outsiders who know of the
agreement. However, it is not binding on outsiders who do not know of the
agreement.
5. No, he does not have this right. A partnership is a voluntary association and
partners have the right to select the people with whom they associate as partners.
6. If partners agree on the method of sharing incomes, but say nothing of losses, then
any losses are shared in the same manner as income.
7. The allocation of net income to the partners is reported on the statement of partners'
equity.
8. Unlimited liability means that the creditors of a partnership have the right to require
each partner to be personally responsible for all debts of the partnership.
9. George's claim is not valid unless the previously agreed upon method of sharing net
incomes and losses granted George an annual salary allowance of $25,000. Unless
the partnership agreement says otherwise, partners have no claim to a salary
allowance in payment for their services.

10. No. Kay is still liable to her former partners for her share of the losses.
11. At all times in the accounting history of a partnership (or any organization), assets
must equal liabilities plus equity. When the assets are converted to cash, any gains
or losses are allocated to the capital accounts of the partners; and when creditors'
claims are paid, assets and liabilities are reduced by equal amounts. Therefore,
when the remaining assets are in the form of cash, the amount of cash must equal
the claims (equity) of the partners.
12. The remaining partners should share the decline in their equities in accordance with
their income-and-loss-sharing ratio.

I. Limited Partnerships
• These organizations are identified in its name with the words "Limited
Partnership," or "Ltd.," or "L.P."
• A limited partnership has two classes of partners, general and limited. At
least one partner must be a general partner who assumes management
duties and unlimited liability for the debts of the partnership. The limited
partners have no personal liability beyond the amounts they invest in the
partnership.
• A limited partnership is managed by the general partner(s). Limited
partners have no active role except as specified in the partnership
agreement.
• A limited partnership agreement often specifies unique procedures for
allocating incomes and losses between general and limited partners.
• The same basic accounting procedures are used for both limited and
general partnerships.

III. S Corporations
• Certain corporations with 100 or fewer stockholders can elect to be
treated like a partnership for income tax purposes. These corporations are
called Sub-Chapter S or simply "S" corporations. This distinguishes them
from other corporations, called Sub-Chapter C or simply "C" corporations.
• "S" corporations provide stockholders with the same limited liability
feature as "C" corporations. The advantage to an "S" corporation is it
doesn't pay income taxes. If stockholders work for an "S" corporation,
their salaries are treated as expenses of the corporation.
• The remaining income or loss of the corporation is allocated to
stockholders for inclusion on their personal tax returns. Except for "C"
corporations having to account for income tax expenses and liabilities,
the accounting procedures are the same for both "S" and "C"
corporations.
