Partnerships
Übersicht
A partnership is what happens when two or more people pool their money and their skills to run a business together. It brings more capital and more expertise than a sole trader can manage alone, but it also raises a new question that a single owner never faces: when the year ends and the profit is counted, who gets what? Answering that fairly is the whole point of partnership accounting.
In this lesson you will prepare the extra statement a partnership needs, the appropriation account, which shares the profit according to the partnership agreement: interest on capital, interest on drawings, salaries and the final split of what remains. You will then see how each partner's rewards and charges flow into their capital and current accounts, and how those accounts appear in the statement of financial position. Every figure is worked through and checked so you can follow the profit from the income statement right down to each partner's balance.
