In such a case the rules of partnership will be applicable as per the provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. The following are the provisions that are applicable to the partnership accounts in absence of partnership deed.
(i) Profit Sharing Ratio : When a partnership deed is not made or even if it is made but silent on sharing of profit or losses among the partners of a firm, then according to the Partnership Act 1932, profits and losses are supposed to be shared equally among all the partners of the firm.

Ans. As per Partnership Act. 1932, it is not necessary to have a partnership deed in writing, but still it is always suggested that it should be in written form. Because today may be there are very good relationship among the partners but in future if there may be any dispute regarding any issue, a written partnership agreement will help in avoiding disputes and misunderstandings among the partners.
In this way a written partnership deed is more desirable than an oral agreement. A written partnership agreement ensures seamless functioning of the business of the partnership firm. It also helps in settling the disputes among the partners. Moreover, a duly signed and registered partnership deed works as an evidence in the court of law. Therefore, it is suggested to have a partnership deed in writing because of the benefits associated with written documents over its oral counterparts.
4. Illustrate how interest on drawings will be calculated under various situations.
Ans. When a partner withdraws a sum either in cash or in any other form, from the firm for his/her personal use, then it is termed as drawings. The interest charged by the firm on the amount of drawings is termed as interest on drawings. The method for calculation of interest on drawings depends on the information available for time and frequency of the drawings made by the partner. The following different situations of drawings made, illustrate the calculation of interest charged on drawings.
Situation (I) : When all the information regarding amount, date and rate of interest on drawings is given
When a partner withdrew ₹10,000 on July 01 and interest on drawings is to be charged at 12% p.a. and the firm closes its books on December 31 every year, then interest on drawings amount to ₹600.
$$Interest\space on\space drawings = Total\space Amount \space Drawn×\frac{rate\space of\space intrest}{100}×\frac{period}{12}\\Interest\space on\space drawings = 10000×\frac{12}{100}×\frac{6}{12}=₹600$$
Situation (II) : When information regarding amount, rate of interest on drawings is given
Case I : Sometimes amount and rate of interest on drawings (per annum) is given but date is not mentioned. In this case when the details regarding the amount of drawings and rate of interest on drawings (p.a.) is mentioned but the date of drawings is not given then the interest will be charged on average basis and the period of drawings will be taken as 6 months.
$$Interest\space on\space drawings =10,000×{12}{100}×\frac{6}{12}= ₹600$$
Case II : Sometimes the amount and rate of its interest on drawings is given but the date and per annum rate of interest is not mentioned.
In this case when the date and the rate of interest are given but per annum is not specified, then annual interest is charged.
e.g., If a partner withdrew ₹10,000 and interest rate is 12%, then the interest on drawings amounts to
₹12,000.
$$Interest\space on\space drawings = Total\space Amount\space withdrawn ×\frac{Rate}{100}$$
$$Interest\space on\space drawings = 10,000 ×\frac{12}{100}=₹1,200$$
Situation III : When a fixed amount is withdrawn at regular interval.
Case I : Sometimes a fixed amount is withdrawn by the partner at the beginning of each month and the rate of interest is given, then the interest is calculated for 6.5 months.
e.g. If a partner withdraws ₹1,000 in the beginning of every month and the rate of interest is 12% pa, then the interest on drawings amount to ₹780.
$$Interest\space on\space drawings = 12,000 ×\frac{12}{100}×\frac{6.5}{12}=₹780$$
Total amount of drawings = (1000 × 12) = ₹12,000
Case II : Sometimes a fixed amount is withdrawn at the end of each month and the rate of interest is given then the interest is calculated for 5.5 months.
e.g., if a partner withdraws ₹1,000 at the end of each month and rate of interest is 12% p.a. then the interest on drawings amount to ₹660.
$$Interest\space on\space drawings = Total\space amount\space of\space drawings × \frac{Rate}{100}×\frac{5.5}{12}\\Interest\space on\space drawings = 12,000×\frac{12}{100}×\frac{5.5}{12}=₹600$$
Case III : Sometimes a fixed amount is withdrawn at the mid of each month and the rate of interest is given then the interest is calculated for 6 months.
e.g., if a partner.withdraws ₹1,000 on 15th of every month and the rate of interest is 12% p.a. then the interest on drawings amount to ₹720.
$$Interest\space on\space drawings = Total\space amount\space of\space drawings ×\frac{Rate}{100}×\frac{6}{12}\\Interest\space on\space drawings = 12,000 ×\frac{12}{100}×{6}{12}=₹720$$
Case IV : If a fixed amount is withdrawn in the beginning of every quarter then the interest is calculated for 7.5 months.
e.g., If a partner withdraws ₹5,000 in the beginning of every quarter and the rate of interest is 12% p.a. then the interest on drawings amount to ₹1,500.
$$Interest\space on\space drawings = Total\space amount\space of\space drawings ×\frac{Rate}{100}×\frac{7.5}{12}\\Interest\space on\space drawings = 20,000×{12}{100}×{7.5}{12}=₹1,500$$
Total amount of drawings = 5,000 × 4 = ₹20,000
Case V : If a fixed amount is withdrawn at the end of every quarter, then the interest is calculated for 4.5 months.
e.g., If a partner withdraws ₹ 5,000 at the end of every quarter and the rate of interest is 12% p.a. then the interest on drawings amounts to ₹ 900.
$$Interest\space on\space drawings = Total\space amount\space of\space drawings ×\frac{Rate}{100}×\frac{4.5}{12}\\Interest\space on\space drawings = 20,000 ×\frac{12}{100}×\frac{4.5}{12}=₹900$$
Total amount of drawings = 5,000 × 4 = ₹ 20,000
Situation IV : When different amount is at different intervals
When different amount is withdrawn by a partner at different dates then the interest is calculated by product method. The period of drawings has to be calculated from the date of withdrawal to the last date of the accounting year.
e.g., A partner withdraws ₹6,000 on March 01, ₹4,000 on June 01, ₹5,000 on Aug 30 and ₹2,000 on Nov 30 and the rate of interest on drawings is 12% p.a. The firm closes its book on December 31.
| Calculation of Interest on Drawings by Product Method |
| Date | Amount(₹) | Outstanding Period | Product |
| March 01 | 6,000 | 10 | 6,000 × 10 = 60,000 |
| Jun 01 | 4,000 | 7 | 4,000 × 7 = 28,000 |
| Aug. 01 | 5,000 | 5 | 5,000 × 5 = 25,000 |
| Nov. 30 | 2,000 | 1 | 2,000 × 1 = 2,000 |
| 1,15,000 |
$$Interest\space on\space drawings = Sum\space of\space product ×\frac{Rate}{100}×\frac{1}{12}\\Interest\space on\space drawings = 1,15,000 ×\frac{12}{100}×\frac{1}{12}= ₹1,150$$
5. How will you deal with a change in profit sharing ratio among existing partners? Take imaginary figures to illustrate your answer.
Ans. Change in the profit sharing ratio occurs mainly because of the admission, retirement or death of a partner or sometimes due to the general agreement among the partners in which they may decide to change the profit sharing ratio. There may be a number of issues that should be undertaken during the change in the profit sharing ratio, such as goodwill, reserves and accumulated profits, profit or loss on the revaluation of assets and liabilities and adjustment of capital, etc.
As far as the issue of general reserve is concerned, it is basically the accumulated profits (if any) and profit (or loss) on revaluation of assets and liabilities and therefore should be distributed in the partner’s capital account in partners old profit sharing ratio.
If the existing partners decide to change the profit sharing ratio then some partners gain at the cost of other partners. In other words one partners gains and other one sacrifices equal to the gain. In that case the former should compensate the latter. Therefore, the gaining partner capital accounts are debited to the extent of their gain and sacrificing partner’s capital accounts are credited to the extent of their sacrifice.The following journal entry is passed.
| Journal Entries | ||||
| Date | Particulars | L.F. | Amount(₹)(Dr.) | Amount(₹)(Cr.) |
| Gaining Partner’s Dr. Capital A/c | ||||
| To Sacrificing Partner’s Capital A/c (Being adjustment entry passed with the difference figure) | ||||
Example : Ram, Mohan and Shyam are partners in a firm sharing profit and loss in 3:2 :1 ratio. They decide to share profit and loss equally in future. On the closing date, the books of the firm shows ₹2,40,000 as general reserve, profit on revaluation of Plant and Machinery ₹60,000. The following adjustment entry is passed through the capital accounts without affecting the books of accounts.
| Particulars | Ram | Mohan | Shyam |
| Share of Profit as per 3 : 2:1 | 1,20,000 | 80,000 | 40,000 |
| Profit on Revalution of Plant and Machinery | 30,000 | 20,000 | 10,000 |
| 1,50,000 | 1,00,000 | 50,000 | |
| Share of Profit as per 1 : 1 : 1 | 1,00,000 | 1,00,000 | 1,00,000 |
| Difference (Gain or Loss) | 50,000 (Loss) | -- | 50,000 (Gain) |
Hence, in the above example. Shyam gains at the cost of Ram. so the Ram needs to be compensated by Shyam with the amount of ₹50.000. The following adjustment entry is passed.
