Types of Partners
For the purpose of partnership operations accounting, these are the type of partners:
1. Capitalist partner – one who contributes cash or non-cash assets to the partnership.
2. Industrial partner – one who contributes service to the partnership.
3. Capitalist-industrial partner – one who contributes both cash or other non-cash asset and services to the
partnership.
The major consideration in accounting for partnership operations is the division of profits or losses among the
partners. Such profits or losses are divided in accordance with the following rules (in order of priority):
1. In accordance with the partners’ agreement;
For example, profits or losses may be divided:
a. Equally;
b. Arbitrarily;
c. Based on average capital (most just basis);
d. Another basis as agreed upon.
2. If only profits ratio has been agreed upon, share in the losses shall be in the same ratio;
3. If no agreement has been made, in accordance with their original capital contribution.
For an industrial partner, who has no capital contribution, additional considerations must be
observed:
a. If there is profit – his/her share shall be what is deemed just and equitable.
b. If there is loss – he/she shall not share/liable.
c. If a capitalist-industrial partner – he/she shall also receive a share proportion to his capital.
In addition to profit or loss sharing, the partners may also agree on any of the following:
1. Salaries – generally, an industrial partner receives salary for his/her services.
2. Bonuses – a partner is entitled to a bonus only if the partnership earns profit.
3. Interest on capital contributions – the interest is for the capital contributions made by the partners.
As a general rule, these three (salaries, bonus, interest) are not partnership expenses.
Withdrawals
1. Permanent (capital) withdrawal – debited to capital account. Considered in computing ending and
average capital balances.
2. Temporary (personal) withdrawal – debited to drawings account. Ignored in computing ending and
average capital balances.
