Partnership Guarantee Questions - Quick Notes
Steps to Solve Guarantee Questions
1. Calculate Interest on Capital
Formula: Capital × Rate × (Period ÷ 12)
2. Appropriate Salary, Commission
- Salary = monthly × 12
- Commission = fixed amount or %
3. Compute Remaining Profit (Balance Profit)
Net Profit - (Interest on Capital + Salary + Commission)
4. Distribute Remaining Profit
- Given ratio -> use that
- No ratio -> assume equal sharing
5. Apply Guarantee Clause
- Check actual share vs guaranteed
- Deficiency = Guaranteed - Actual
- Adjust deficiency as per rule
6. Prepare Final P&L Appropriation Account
- Show Interest, Salary, Commission, Final Shares
Quick Formula for Guarantee Check
Deficiency = Guaranteed Amount - (Interest on Capital + Share in profit)
If deficiency -> Adjust by guarantor partner(s).
Exam Tips
- No PSR given? -> Assume equal
