Fred and Dorothy operate an accounting firm as partners. on 1 March 2020, they admitted a new partner into their partnership. the terms of the agreement provided that the profits of the partnership be shared equally. The partnership's net income for the year ended 30 june 2020 was $200,000. assume that the net income of the partnership was spread equally over the 12 months.
Fred's wife, Jenny, is employed as a receptionist by the partnership from 1 july 2019 to 30 june 2020. Over the 12 months, she was paid $100,000. However, the Commissioner of Taxation disallowed $20,000. Calculate each partner's share of net income from the partnership and calculate the net income of the partnership for the year ended 30 june 2020.
SOLUTION
NET INCOME OF PARTNERSHIP FOR THE YEAR ENDING 30 JUNE 2020 AFTER DISALLOWANCE BY COMMISSIONER OF TAXATION =$200,000+$20000=$2,20,000
NOTE EXPENSES DISALLOWED WILL BE ADDED TO NET INCOME
EACH PARTNER SHARE IN NET INCOME
PROFIT DISTRIBUTION TILL1 MARCH BEFORE ADMISSION OF NEW PARTNER
PROFIT FROM 1 ST JULY TO 1 ST OF MARCH 2020 = $220,000*8/12 =$146,667 DIVIDED EQUALLY AMONG FRED AND DOROTHY
FRED SHARE =146,667/2=$73,333
DOROTHY SHARE = 146,667/2=$73,334
DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT FROM 1 MARCH TILL 30 JUNE 2020(220,000-146,667 =$73.333) IN EQUAL RATIO
FRED SHARE =73,333/3=$24,444
DOROTHY SHARE = 73,333/3=$24,444
NEW PARTNER SHARE =73333/3= $24,445
TOTAL SHARE IN PROFIT
FRED SHARE =73,333+24,444=$97,777
DOROTHY SHARE =73333+24,444=$97,777
NEW PARTNER SHARE =$24,445
