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.
10. No. Kay is still liable to her former partners for her share of the losses.

Since Xavier is a limited partner, he is not personally liable for any unpaid
debts of the partnership. Therefore, the partnership’s creditors cannot
pursue Xavier’s personal assets.

1) $20,500 = $87,750 - Cash from assets’ sale
(This implies cash from sale of assets is $67,250)
2) Loss on sale of assets = Book value of assets - Cash received
= $117,000 - $67,250 = $49,750

Each partner should pay the amount of the debit (deficit) balance in his
or her own capital account.
c. Liability to be paid
As a limited partner, Ogden has no personal liability for the $20,500
liability. Therefore, Brewster and Conway must share the loss reflected
in Ogden's capital account deficit as shown above.

1. The history states that Richard Schulze and a business partner opened
the Sound of Music store in St. Paul, Minnesota. This company
eventually grew into Best Buy.
3. Specifically, the balance sheet for a partnership would not have the
following accounts as the Best Buy’s balance sheet reports in
Appendix A:
• Accrued income taxes
• Preferred stock
• Common stock
• Additional paid-in capital
• Retained earnings
4. Best Buy (Sound of Music) was publicly traded over the counter in
1969. In 1985, Best Buy had an initial public offering on the NASDAQ.
Circuit City (Wards) offered stock to the public in 1961. In 1984, the
company changed its name to Circuit City and offered its stock on the
New York Stock Exchange.
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 group’s largest producer and, therefore, is entitled to
the largest income. However, Clark’s proposal does not recognize that a
good portion of Clark’s income is due to the patient referrals by the
other partners. If patients are not referred for surgery, then Clark’s
income will assuredly decline. The original agreement gives some
credit through the salary allowance to Maben and Orlando for the
referrals.
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.
Continued
III. S Corporations
• Certain corporations with 75 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.
