Chapter Allocation of Partnership Income and Loss Review Questions Salary and interest allowances are included in some partnership agreements in order to reward partners for the time and effort that they devote to partnership business (salary allowances) and for capital investments (interest allowances) that they make in the business Salary allowances to partners are not expenses of a partnership Rather, they are a means of recognizing the efforts of individual partners in the division of partnership income When profits are divided in the ratio of capital balances, capital balances should be computed on the basis of weighted average capital balances in the absence of evidence that another interpretation of capital balances is intended by the partners An individual partner may have a loss from his share of partnership operating activities even though the partnership has income This situation results if priority allocations to other partners exceed partnership net income For example, if net income for the A and B Partnership is P5,000 and profits are divided equally after a salary allowance of P8,000 to A, A will have partnership income of P6,500 and B will have a partnership loss of P1,500 Partners share losses in the same ratio that they share profits if the partnership agreement does not discuss sharing the losses If the agreement specifies no profit-and-loss ratio, the partners share profits and losses equally Two methods are available for dividing income when profits are not sufficient to cover the full distribution required by the agreement One is to divide the profits until they are used up and then stop The second, and more preferable, is to allocate salaries and interest first, and then divide the remainder in the loss ratio for the partnership The use of a salary or bonus as a means of allocating profits would be appropriate when there is a desire to reward partners for personal services or significant personal time commitments to the partnership The use of interest Chapter on capital as a means of allocating profits would be appropriate when the business is capital intensive versus labor intensive or if the partners are not significantly involved in the day-to-day operations Interest that is based on capital balances at a point in time, whether beginning or year end, may result in manipulation This is due to the fact that the capital balance may be increased momentarily to produce a higher amount of interest Shortly thereafter, the capital may be withdrawn The result is a measure of capital and resulting interest that may not be representative of the capital available to the partnership during the year If the amount is a withdrawal, then it is a direct reduction of capital and does not affect income distribution If salary, then the amount will first be deducted from the income and the remainder will be distributed among the partners Clearly, there would be variations in each partner’s share of income under each view
