Study Notes

Partnerships in Business

A partnership is an agreement between two or more people who invest in a business with the aim of making a profit, which is then shared.
A partnership is not a separate legal entity, meaning it cannot own assets, incur liabilities, enter into contracts, sue, or be sued.
The accounting entries for income, expenses, assets, and liabilities of a partnership are the same as for a sole proprietorship.

Equity Accounts in a Partnership

The equity of a partnership includes capital accounts and current accounts.
Separate capital accounts are opened for each partner, recording capital contributions or decreases.
Current accounts are also opened for each partner, recording items such as salaries, bonuses, interest on capital, and share of profits or losses.

Profit is calculated in the same way as for a sole proprietorship.
Partners' salaries, bonuses, and interest on capital are recorded before the remaining profit (loss) is shared.
Partners' salaries are treated as an appropriation of profit, not a business expense.
Interest on capital is provided for in partnership agreements to be fair to partners with different capital contributions.
Interest on drawings is not treated as an expense, but rather as a transaction with partners.

Preparation of Financial Statements of a Partnership

The basic financial statements of a partnership include:
- Statement of comprehensive income
- Statement of changes in equity
- Statement of financial position
The statement of comprehensive income reflects the financial result of the business.
The statement of changes in equity shows the movements in capital and current accounts of partners.
The statement of financial position presents the financial position of the business.

Statement of Changes in Equity

The statement of changes in equity includes:
- Opening and closing balances of each partner's capital account and current account
- Transactions with partners, including increases and decreases in capital and current accounts
- Distribution of profit to partners
The statement of changes in equity is used to calculate the net profit for each partner.

Statement of Financial Position and Notes to the Financial Statements

The statement of financial position for a partnership includes the equity section, which consists of partners' capital accounts and current accounts.
Notes to the financial statements provide additional information about specific items on the financial statements.

Total interest on capital: R8,437.50 + R10,312.50 = R18,750
Calculation of remaining profit: Net profit + Interest on drawings – Interest on capital = R80,000 + R1,700 – R18,750 = R62,950
Calculation of share in remaining profit: Ed: R62,950 x 3/5 = R37,770, Con: R62,950 x 2/5 = R25,180
Ratio of capitals at the end of the year: R75,000:R50,000 = 75:50 = 3:2

Interest on Capital and Remaining Shortfall

Calculation of interest on capital: Sam: R400,000 x 12% x 6/12 = R24,000, R400,000 x 15% x 6/12 = R30,000
Sing: R300,000 x 12% x 6/12 = R18,000, R300,000 x 15% x 6/12 = R22,500
Remaining shortfall: Net profit + Interest on drawings – Interest on capital = R74,800 + R5,700 – R94,500 = (R14,000)
Sam's share: R14,000 x 4/7 = R8,000, Sing's share: R14,000 x 3/7 = R6,000
Ratio of capitals: R400,000:R300,000 = 4:3

Current Accounts

Sam's current account: R10,000 + R54,000 – R2,700 – R52,000 – R8,000 = R1,300 (credit balance)
Sing's current account: – R13,000 + R40,500 – R3,000 – R60,000 – R6,000 = – R41,500 (debit balance)
