 ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

1. (a) Association of individuals. A partnership is a voluntary association of two or more individuals

based on as simple an act as a handshake. Preferably, however, the agreement should be
in writing. A partnership is both a legal entity and an accounting entity, but it is not a taxable
entity.

(b) Limited life. A partnership does not have unlimited life. A partnership may be ended volun-
tarily or involuntarily. Thus, the life of a partnership is indefinite. Any change in the members
of a partnership results in the dissolution of the partnership.

(c) Co-ownership of property. Partnership assets are co-owned by all the partners. If the partner-
ship is terminated, the assets do not legally revert to the original contributor. Each partner has
a claim on total assets equal to his or her capital balance. This claim does not attach to specific
assets the individual partner contributed to the firm.

2. (a) Mutual agency. This characteristic means that the act of any partner is binding on all other
partners when engaging in partnership business. This is true even when the partners act
beyond the scope of their authority, so long as the act appears to be appropriate for the
partnership.

(b) Unlimited liability. Each partner is personally and individually liable for all partnership liabilities.
Creditors’ claims attach first to partnership assets and then to personal resources of any
partner, irrespective of that partner’s equity in the partnership.

3. The advantages of a partnership are: (1) combining skills and resources of two or more individuals,
(2) ease of formation, (3) freedom from governmental regulations and restrictions, and (4) ease of
decision making. Disadvantages are: (1) mutual agency, (2) limited life, and (3) unlimited liability.

4. The capital balance should be ₤112,000, comprised of land ₤75,000, and equipment ₤57,000,
less debt ₤20,000.

5. When the partnership agreement does not specify the division of net income or net loss, net
income and net loss should be divided equally.

6. Factors to be considered in discussing how income and loss should be divided are: (1) a fixed
ratio is easy to apply and it may be an equitable basis in some circumstances; (2) capital balance
ratios when the funds invested in the partnership are considered the most critical factor; and (3)
salary allowance and/or interest allowance coupled with a fixed ratio. This last approach gives
specific recognition to differences that may exist among partners by providing salary allowances
for time worked and interest allowances for capital invested.

7. The net income of €24,000 should be divided equally—€12,000 to Mandy Elston and €12,000 to
Jeff Baker.

8. (a) Account debited: Income Summary; accounts credited: Debbie Hunt, Capital and Kyle
Keegan, Capital.

(b) Account debited: Debbie Hunt, Drawing; account credited: Cash.

Total division (€27,000) (€23,000) (€50,000)

10. The financial statements of a partnership are similar to those of a corporation. The income state-
ment for a partnership is identical to the income statement for a corporation except for the division
of net income and there is no income tax expense. The equity statement is called the partners’
capital statement. This statement shows the changes in each partner’s capital account and in total
partnership capital during the year. On the statement of financial position each partner’s capital
balance is reported in the equity section.

11. No, Dean is not correct. All gains and losses on liquidation should be allocated to the partners on
the basis of their income-sharing ratio. However, final cash distributions should be based on their
capital balances.

12. Yes, Bill is correct. Capital balances are used because they represent the individual partner’s
equity in the partnership. The objective of the distribution is to eliminate the balance in each partner’s
capital account.
