Q:Amber and kieran are in partnership.Amber is entitled to a salary of $19,000 per annum according to the partnership agreement.
The net profit of the partnership for the year ended 31 may 2015 was $108,255.
The figures for interest on capital and interest drawings for the year were as follows:
Interest on capital(Amber $10,200,Kieran$9300)
Interest on drawings(Amber $21,00,Kieran $3,300)
What was the residual profit for the year to 31 may 2015?
A)$103,355
B)$83,855
C)$75,155
D)$64,354
Now what is this residual profit?Never heard about this residual profit thing in the whole FA2 syllabus.May 30, 2015 at 6:45 pm #250727Residual profit is what’s left after ‘salaries’ to partners and ‘interest’ on their capital (these salaries and interest payments are really appropriations of profits). ‘Interest’ on drawings would be added back. Drawings themselves are irrelevant as they do not affect profits.
So:
108,255 – 19,000 – 10,200 – 9,300 + 2,100 (?) + 3,300 = 75,155
The $75,155 is then divided in the agreed profit sharing ratio.

November 10, 2015 at 6:02 pm #281571Here’s the answer….
Profit————————————118,000
Interest on Capital A—————-20,000
Interest on Capital B—————-12,000
Salaries (20,000+30,000)———50,000
Residual Profit———————–36,000
Distribution of Profit: (Ratio 3:2)
Partner A: 36,000 x 3/5 = 21,600
Partner B: 36,000 x 2/5 = 14,400 - AuthorPosts
