Partnership Operations
Partnership Operations
investment of P40,000 by Siy and P60,000 by Tiu. On December 31, 2016, after
closing all income and expense accounts, the Income Summary account shows a
credit balance of P60,000, representing the profit for the year 2016.
Assume that Siy and Tiu agreed to divide profits and losses in the ratio of 60%
to Siy and 40% to Tiu. The agreement that Siy should receive 60% of the net
income (perhaps because of greater experience and expertise in the field or
various business contacts) would cause Siy to shoulder a larger share of the net
loss if the partnership operated unprofitable.
Divide the profits and losses according to their original capital contributions.
Divide the profits and losses according to their beginning capital balances.
Divide the profits and losses according to their ending capital balances.
Divide the profits and losses according to their average capital balances.
