ACCY112 Spring 2013-Week 8

Questions: DQ15.8; EQ15.6; PQ15.3; PQ15.6

Hannah and Jeremy set up a partnership to run a caf. At the time of establishing the business
Hannah was in a better financial position than Jeremy and so contributed 60% of the capital
required. Jeremy believes that he contributes as much effort to running the caf as Hannah and
thereforeassumesthatanyprofitmadewillbedistributedevenlybetweenHannahandhimasthey
are partners. Is Jeremy correct and what factors might determine how much profit each of the
partnerswillreceive?

Jeremyiscorrectthatintheabsenceofanagreementorifthepartnersareunabletoreachan
agreement,thePartnershipActprovidesthatprofitsaretobedividedequally,regardlessofthe
amountinvestedbythepartners.
Factorsthatmightdeterminehowmuchprofiteachpartnerwillreceiveinclude:
returnforthepersonalservicesperformedbythepartners
returnonthecapitalprovidedbythepartners
returnforthebusinessrisksassumedbythepartners
The profit and loss agreement should reward each partner for resources and services
contributedtothebusiness
As the partners contribute thesameeffort butHannahcontributed more capital,andthenit
wouldbefairforHannahtogetmorethanhalfoftheshareoftheprofits.
