PARTNERSHIP ACCOUNTS
Partnership Agreement
Capital and Current Account
INTRODUCTION
PARTNERSHIP can be defined as the relationship which exists between two or more persons who are carrying on business in common with a view to making profit. The rules governing the conduct of a partnership business is contained in the document known as the Deed of Partnership or Articles of Partnership or Partnership Agreement.

CONTENTS OF THE DEED OF PARTNERSHIP
The partnership Deed contains among others, the following.
Name of the partnership
Names of the partners
Capital contribution
Nature of the partnership business
Profit and loss sharing ratio
Interest on capital contribution
Interest chargeable on drawings
Duration of the partnership
Rules regarding admission or retirement of a partner
Rules on dissolution of the partnership

WHEN THERE IS NO AGREEMENT
Where there is no specific arrangement concerning the partnership agreement, section 24 of the Partnership Act 1890 laid down the rules that should be applied as follows:-
No interest to be paid on capital contributed by each partner
No partner should receive salary or remuneration.
No interest is to be charged on drawings
Profits and losses are to be shared equally.
5% interest should be allowed on any loans made by any partner in excess of the agreed capital contribution.

FIXED CAPITAL ACCOUNT
The capital accounts of partners are usually regarded as fixed so as to provide a permanent evidence of the initial amount with which the partnership is commenced. Where capital is regarded as fixed, a current account must be opened for each of the partners.

PARTNERS CURRENT ACCOUNT
The current account of each partner is prepared to show what such a partner is entitled to withdraw from the business at any point in time. It is credited with salary, commission, share of profits, interest on capital, and debited with drawings, interest on drawings, etc.
EXERCISE 1
Obi and Oba are partners in a firm of chartered accountants with initial capital contributions of N50,000 and N40,000 respectively which are to be kept fixed in the partnership books. You are required to show the cash account, partners’ capital accounts and balance sheet extracts.

However, there are instances where the partners in accordance with the partnership deed, maintain floating or fluctuating capital account.

FLOATING CAPITAL WITHOUT CURRENT ACCOUNT
This is simply a combination or mixture of the capital and current accounts of each partner in a capital account hence such a capital account is referred to as “floating” or “fluctuating” because the balance can increase or decrease at any time depending on how much is paid in and how much is withdrawn.

WEEK TWO
FINAL ACCOUNTS OF A PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS
i. Profit & Loss Appropriation Account of a partnership
ii. Balance Sheet of a Partnership
PROFIT AND LOSS APPROPRIATION ACCOUNT OF A PARTNERSHIP
This, as the name implies, is the account where either the profit or loss of the partnership business is shared between or among the partners as stipulated in the partnership agreement. The profit and loss appropriation account marks the beginning of the difference between the final accounts of a sole trader and that of a partnership. This is because while the sole trader does not share his profit with any-body, the profit of the partnership must be shared by the partners.

Some Terminologies in profit & Loss Appropriation Account of a partnership
1. Drawings:- Partners can withdraw at regular or irregular intervals, from the sum they are entitled to at the end of the year. The total drawings is credited to the cash book and debited to current accounts.
2. Interest on drawings:-This is the interest charged on drawings made by the partners. In order to discourage or reduce the amount of cash withdrawn, a fixed sum or % will be charged as interest. The interest on drawing will increase net profit and discourage drawings. It can be calculated on monthly basis.
Interest is calculated from the date the amount is withdrawn to the end of the financial year.
3. Partners’ Salary: – The agreement made provision for salary to be paid to active partners. It is desirable to compensate the active partner for the day-to-day running of the business.
4. Interest on Capitals: Partners contribute different amounts as capital. In order to compensate the partners for capital contributed, interest on capital is allowed.

BALANCE SHEET OF A PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS
There is no significant difference between the balance sheet of a sole trader and that of a partnership. The only difference is on the display of capital accounts and current accounts of partners which will be illustrated in the formats below:-

WEEK THREE AND FOUR
ADMISSION OF PARTNERS, GOODWILL AND REVALUATION OF ASSETS
CONTENTS
Admission of a new partner – meaning and reason for admission
Goodwill admission of a new partner (a) meaning of goodwill (b) reasons for paying for goodwill (c) treatment of goodwill (d) example
Revaluation of asset on admission of partnership (a) introduction (b) accounting entries (c) example

ADMISSION OF NEW PARTNERS
This occurs when a new partner is admitted into an existing partnership business. The reasons for such admission usually are: expiration of old partnership agreement, to inject in more fund, bring in a specialist, death of an old partner, etc.
However, it will be unfair to the existing partners for a new person to come in and take part in the established prosperous business without any reward to the old partners. This compensation to the old partners is goodwill.

GOODWILL ON ADMISSION OF A PARTNER
Definition of Goodwill: Goodwill is the benefit and advantage attached to an old established business as a result of its good name, efficient management good connection, good location, etc which make it to earn more profit.

REASONS FOR PAYMENT FOR GOODWILL
Thus, a partner of an existing business or an incoming partner will be induced to pay for goodwill because of:
quality of goods and services (ii) favourable business location (iii) efficient and loyal work force (iv) efficient management (v) possession of monopoly power (vi) patents and trade marks (vii) successful research and development (viii) good public image, etc.

TREATMENT OF GOODWILL
Then goodwill will be brought into the business. This will be dealt with as follows:
Raising and retaining Goodwill account in the books: Here, the value of goodwill is debited to goodwill account and credited to the capital accounts in the partners old profit and loss sharing ratio.

Accounting Entries: Dr. Goodwill A/c
Cr. Partners capital A/c

Any cash introduced by the new partner as capital, Dr Cash A/c; Cr. Capital A/c

Goodwill is written off: If the business does not desire to retain the goodwill in the books, it will be necessary to write it off to the capital account of the partners in their NEW P&L sharing ratio
Accounting Entries – goodwill written off
Dr. Capital A/c; Cr. Goodwill A/c

EXAMPLE:
A and B are Partners who share profit equally. They decide to admit C by agreement, goodwill valued at N60,000 is to be introduced into the books. C is required to provide capital equal to that of B after he has been credited with his share of goodwill. The new profit sharing ratio is to be 4:3:3 to A, B and C respectively.
The partner’s balance sheet before the admission of C is as follows
Balance sheet
Capital: A 80,000 Building 80,000
B 40,000 Motor Vehicle 30,000
Furniture 40,000
Creditors 30,000 Cash 20,000
Other liabilities 20,000
170,000 170,000

Prepare the following:
Journal and Ledger entries for the admission of C if goodwill account is to be retained.
The new balance sheet as a result of admission of C and the retention of goodwill account.
Journal and Ledger entries for the admission of C if goodwill account is not retained.
New balance sheet showing C admission and goodwill not retained.

Note: Since B’s capital was N40,000 before the goodwill of N30,000, then B’s capital will now be N70,000. Hence, C must contribute same amount as stated in the question.
