Chapter 12
Accounting for Partnerships
QUESTIONS
1.
Under the circumstances described, the death, bankruptcy, or legal inability of a

partner to execute a contract ends a partnership. In addition, if a partnership is
organized for the purpose of completing a specific business project, the partnership
ends when the project is completed. If the business for which the partnership was
organized cannot be completed, but goes on indefinitely, the partnership may be
dissolved at the will of any one of its partners.
2.
Mutual agency means that each partner is an agent of the partnership and can
commit it to contracts that are within the normal scope of its business.
3.
Yes, partners can limit the right of a partner. Such an agreement is binding on
members of the partnership. It is also binding on outsiders who know of the
agreement. However, it is not binding on outsiders who do not know of the
agreement.
4.
No, he does not have this right. A partnership is a voluntary association and
partners have the right to select the people with whom they associate as partners.
5.
If partners agree on the method of sharing incomes, but say nothing of losses, then
any losses are shared in the same manner as income.
6.
The allocation of net income to the partners is reported on the statement of partners'
equity.
7.
Unlimited liability means that the creditors of a partnership have the right to require
each partner to be personally responsible for all debts of the partnership.
8.
All partners in a general partnership have unlimited liability. A limited partnership

includes both general and limited partners, and the limited partners have no
personal liability for partnership debts. Also, the general partners assume the
management duties of the partnership.
9.
George's claim is not valid unless the previously agreed upon method of sharing net
incomes and losses granted George an annual salary allowance of $25,000. Unless
the partnership agreement says otherwise, partners have no claim to a salary
allowance in payment for their services.
12-1
10. No. Kay is still liable to her former partners for her share of the losses.
11. At all times in the accounting history of a partnership (or any organization), assets
must equal liabilities plus equity. When the assets are converted to cash, any gains
or losses are allocated to the capital accounts of the partners; and when creditors'
claims are paid, assets and liabilities are reduced by equal amounts. Therefore,
when the remaining assets are in the form of cash, the amount of cash must equal
the claims (equity) of the partners.
12. The remaining partners should share the decline in their equities in accordance with
their income-and-loss-sharing ratio.

QUICK STUDIES
Quick Study 12-1 (10 minutes)
a. The partnership will need to pay because it is a merchandising firm.
That is, if the vendor knows nothing to the contrary, the vendor can
assume that Davis has the right, because of mutual agency, to bind the
firm to contracts for the purchase of merchandise.
b. A public accounting firm is not in the merchandising business.
Consequently, because the purchase of merchandise to be sold is not
within the normal scope of the business of this firm, the vendor has no
right to assume Davis is acting as the agent for the partnership. Hence,
the partnership probably will not have to pay.

Since Maxi is a limited partner, she is not personally liable for any unpaid
debts of the partnership. Therefore, the partnerships creditors cannot
pursue Maxis personal assets.

If Jake is allocated a $60,000 salary allowance and there remains $2,000 to
be divided equally, giving Ness $1,000, then this shows that the partnership
must have earned net income of $62,000.

Total partnership return on equity
= Net Income/Average equity

= $50,000 / ($300,000 + $400,000)/2
= $50,000 / $350,000
= 14.3%
Gilson partner return on equity
= Partner net income/Average partner equity

= $40,000 / ($200,000 + $280,000)/2

= 16.7%
Lott partner return on equity
= Partner net income/Average partner equity

= $10,000 / ($100,000 + $120,000)/2
= $10,000 / $110,000
= 9.1%

EXERCISES
Exercise 12-1 (20 minutes)
a. Recommended Organization: Milan should consider setting up a limited
partnership. Given his real estate expertise he can manage the day-today activities of the partnership and serve as its general partner. He can
raise the necessary capital by admitting limited partners.
Taxation: All partners will pay individual taxes on income distributed to
them, but the partnership entity will not pay income tax.
Advantages: Advantages to Milan will be authority over the partnership
that he will have as general partner and the ease of raising capital.
b. Recommended Organization:
The two doctors should form a
partnership. A general partnership will have the disadvantage of
unlimited liability so they probably want to consider a limited liability
partnership. The partnership can borrow funds from the bank to obtain
the initial needed capital for the business.
Taxation: The owners will pay individual taxes on income earned by the
partnership but the partnership will not be taxed.
Advantages: The advantages of the partnership are ease of formation
and owner authority.
c. Recommended Organization:
Ross, Jenks, and Keim might first
consider organizing their business as a general partnership. However, a
problem for these new graduates is that they do not have funds and with
no past business experience will probably have trouble getting a
business loan. Therefore, instead of a partnership, a better course of
action is probably to incorporate. In this way they might be able to find
investors to contribute capital for stock. They can structure the
financing so that they remain the major stockholders in the company.
Taxation: As a corporation, any income will be subject to corporate
income tax. Any dividends paid to the stockholders will also normally
be taxed, but at a much lower level. Moreover, some lower income
taxpayers could potentially pay little or no dividend tax. Any salaries
that Ross, Jenks, and Keim pay themselves will be a tax-deductible
expense for the business.
Advantages: Several key advantages to the corporate form include its
limited liability and the potential to sell more stock if additional funds
are needed.

Serial Problem
SP 12
1. Santana Rey should consider several factors:

a. If Business Solutions continues to earn profits, at a 1:1 ownership,
she will have to share profits equally with her new partner. On the
other hand, at a 4:1 ownership, she will only have to share one-fifth of
the profits with her partner. However, if the business experiences
losses, Santana will be better off if the partner is admitted at the 1:1
level as Santana would absorb less of the loss.
b. At the 1:1 ownership, her partner will have more of a say in how the
business is run, whereas at the 4:1 level, the partner will have less of
a voice in the business.
c. If the partner invests in the business equal to their partnership
interest, there will be more total equity in the business if the partner
invests at the 1:1 level.
d. It would likely be easier to attract a partner if there is a lower amount
of investment required by the new partner at the 4:1 level. On the
other hand, a partner may wish to be more of an equal partner and
might wish to invest at the 1:1 level.

Reporting in Action
BTN 12-1
1. The history states that Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin (friends since
grade school) founded Research In Motion (while both were college
students) in 1984. RIM was originally set up as an electronics
consulting business.
2. At least two differences would be immediately apparent between
Research In Motions corporate income statement and a partnership
income statement. First, in a general partnership, income flows
through to the partners to be reported on their individual tax returns.
Therefore, the income statement for a partnership would not show a
line item for income taxes as Research In Motions does in Appendix A.
Second, a corporate income statement shows earnings per share
figures, whereas a partnership income statement would not report
earnings per share given that no stock is outstanding in a partnership.
Other, less obvious, differences also exist.
3. Specifically, the balance sheet for a partnership would not have the
following accounts as reported in the Research In Motions balance
sheet reproduced in Appendix A:
Income taxes payable
Deferred income tax asset & Deferred income tax liability
Capital stockpreferred shares and common shares
Treasury stock
Retained earnings
Additional paid-in capital
We would also expect a separate Capital account to be reported for
each partner in the equity section of the balance sheet.

Comparative Analysis
BTN 12-2
1. Apple was incorporated on January 3, 1977, and Research In Motion

was founded in 1984.
2. Apple achieved about $1,000,000,000 in sales in 1984. Research In

Motion achieved $1,000,000,000 in sales in 2005.
3. Research In Motion was initially publicly traded on the Toronto Stock

Exchange on October 28, 1987, and on the NASDAQ on February 4,
1999. Apples initial public offering occurred on December 12, 1980.

3. The ethical concern here is that Clark has proposed a change to the
partnership agreement that appears to be only self-serving. It is true
that Clark is the groups largest producer and, therefore, is entitled to
the largest income. However, Clarks proposal does not recognize that a
good portion of Clarks income is due to the patient referrals by the
other partners. If patients are not referred for surgery, then Clarks
income will assuredly decline. The original agreement gives some
credit through the salary allowance to Maben and Orlando for the
referrals.
A potentially fair compromise would be to study the referral patterns of
Maben and Orlando. Through analysis, a dollar value can be assigned
to the average amount of production generated monthly for Clark
through the referrals from the other partners. Note that this controversy
is not likely to subside until facts are gathered to support the fairest
allocation of the partnership income.

Limited Liability Companies
I. Limited Partnerships
These organizations are identified in its name with the words "Limited
Partnership," or "Ltd.," or "L.P."
A limited partnership has two classes of partners, general and limited. At
least one partner must be a general partner who assumes management
duties and unlimited liability for the debts of the partnership. The limited
partners have no personal liability beyond the amounts they invest in the
partnership.
A limited partnership is managed by the general partner(s). Limited
partners have no active role except as specified in the partnership
agreement.
A limited partnership agreement often specifies unique procedures for
allocating incomes and losses between general and limited partners.
The same basic accounting procedures are used for both limited and
general partnerships.
II. Limited Liability Partnerships

This is identified in its name with the words "Limited Liability Partnership"
or by "LLP."
This type of partnership is designed to protect innocent partners from
malpractice or negligence claims resulting from the acts of another
partner. When a partner provides service resulting in a malpractice claim,
that partner has personal liability for the claim. The remaining partners
who were not responsible for the actions resulting in the claim are not
personally liable for it.
Most states hold all partners personally liable for other partnership debts.
Accounting for a limited liability partnership is the same as for a general
partnership.

III. S Corporations
Certain corporations with 100 or fewer stockholders can elect to be
treated like a partnership for income tax purposes. These corporations are
called Sub-Chapter S or simply "S" corporations. This distinguishes them
from other corporations, called Sub-Chapter C or simply "C" corporations.
"S" corporations provide stockholders with the same limited liability
feature as "C" corporations.
The advantage to an "S" corporation is it
doesn't pay income taxes. If stockholders work for an "S" corporation,
their salaries are treated as expenses of the corporation.
The remaining income or loss of the corporation is allocated to
stockholders for inclusion on their personal tax returns. Except for "C"
corporations having to account for income tax expenses and liabilities,
the accounting procedures are the same for both "S" and "C"
corporations.
IV. Limited Liability Companies
A new form of business organization is the limited liability company. The
names of these businesses usually include the words "Limited Liability
Company" or an abbreviation such as "LLC" or "LC."
This form of business has certain features like a corporation and others
like a limited partnership. The owners, who are called members, are
protected with the same limited liability feature in corporations. While
limited partners cannot actively participate in the management of a limited
partnership, the members of a limited liability company can assume an
active management role.
A limited liability company usually has a limited life.
For income tax purposes, the IRS usually classifies a limited liability
company as a partnership.

with a gross value (before accumulated depreciation) of $100,255,779.
Instructor note: Because of accumulated depreciation, some might answer Net
Real Estate Assets (including Land) of $91,790,893, which would be fine.

Entrepreneurial Decision
BTN 12-7
1. Chance, Lynn, and their future partners would be wise to construct an

agreement that includes the following:
a) names (reputations) and contributions
b) rights and duties
c) income and loss sharing agreement
d) withdrawal agreement
e) dispute procedures
f) admission and withdrawal of new partners
g) rights and duties in the event a partner dies.
2. The partnership form of business organization will have several

advantages for Chance, Lynn, and their partners. Three of these
include: (a) The partnership form will allow active involvement by all
partners. (b) The partnership will be relatively easy to form. (c) The
partnership itself will not pay taxes.
3. Several disadvantages exist with the partnership form of organization.

Three of these include: (a) The greatest disadvantage is that each
partner has unlimited liability for the partnerships debts. (b) The life of
a partnership is limited and a death or termination by either partner will
end the partnership. (c) Mutual agency exists for partnerships so an act
by one partner can commit or bind the other partner.
