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.Residual 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.
Dear Tutor
Show the appropriation of the pro?ts to the two partners with allitle explanation.
Q: A partnership makes pro?ts of $118,000. The partnership agreement stipulates that:
– Partner A receives a salary of £30,000 and interest on capital account of 10% pa
– Partner B receives a salary of $20,000 and interest on capital account of 10% pa
– Capital accounts: Partner A = $200,000; Partner B = £120,000
Pro?t sharing ratio A:B = 3:2Best Regards,
Here’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“Alex and Jose are in partnership. Under the terms of the partnership, alex is entitled to a salary of $4,000 per annum. In the year to 31 December 20X1, the net profit of the partnership was $20,000. Interest on capital and interest on drawings for the year have been calculated as: Alex Jose Interest on capital $2,000 $1,000 Interest on drawings $6,000 $2,000 What is the residual profit for the year to 31 December 20X1?
Select one:a.
18000b.
23000c.
21000d.
17000
pls help meThe salary is an appropriation of profits, so deduct that: 20,000- 4,000 = 16,000
Interest on capital is also an appropriation, so deduct that also:
16,000 – 1,000 – 2000 = 13,000
Interest on drawings is charged to partners and represents income to the partnership. It’s a bit like the reverse of interest on the capital the partners have invested. So ass that:
13,000 + 6,000 + 2,000 = 21,000.
