35) What is a partnership? List three advantages and three disadvantages of the partnership form of business organization.
Answer: A partnership is a voluntary association of two or more persons to co-own a business for profit.
Advantages: Unlike a corporation, it is easy to form, involving no legal procedures, and it is less expensive to form. It brings together capital, expertise, and labour of two or more individuals. Finally, partnerships pay no income taxes as corporations do.
Disadvantages: Some disadvantages of a partnership are mutual agency, which allows each partner to sign contracts in the name of the partnership, and unlimited liability, which makes each partner individually liable for all the debts of the partnership. Additionally, the limited life of a partnership requires a new agreement whenever there is a change to the existing partnership.
36) Describe four of the items that should be covered in a partnership agreement.
Answer: The partnership agreement should include the following points:
? name, location, and nature of the business
? name, capital investment, and duties of each partner
? method of sharing profits and losses among the partners
? withdrawals of assets allowed to the partners
? procedures for settling disputes between the partners
? procedures for admitting new partners
? procedures for settling up with a partner who withdraws from the business
? procedures for liquidating the partnership
? procedures for removing a partner who will not withdraw or retire voluntarily
37) Most professionals such as doctors, lawyers and public accounting firms in Canada are organized as limited liability partnerships (LLPs). Explain the fundamental concept that governs an LLP.
Answer: An LLP is designed to protect innocent partners from negligence damages that result from another partner's actions. This means that each partner's personal liability for other partners' negligence is limited to a certain dollar amount, although liability for a partner's own negligence is still unlimited.
38) List four of the characteristics of a partnership.
Answer: Co-ownership; ease of formation; limited life; mutual agency; unlimited liability; no partnership income taxes

Answer: Common sharing agreements base the profit-and-loss ratio on a stated fraction, partners' capital investments, and/or their service to the partnership. Another allocation of partnership method is based on what is called "salaries" and "interest" which, despite their names, are not expenses of the business.

55) On August 1, 2014, Larry Goldstein and Rafi Hassan created a partnership to produce software for online advertising. Goldstein was a lawyer and would handle all the legal matters, but Hassan was the technical whiz and would do all of the production and sales. Because most of the work would be done by Hassan, the partnership agreement specified that the yearly income would be split in a two-phase allocation. The first $100,000 of annual income would be split among Goldstein and Hassan in a 1:4 ratio (one part to Goldstein, four parts to Hassan). Any income above $100,000 would be split evenly. At the onset, both men contributed $200,000 to the partnership and made no draws during 2014. At the end of 2014, the partnership earned $175,000 of net income. At the end of 2012, after the year's income was distributed, what was the balance in owners' capital accounts?

c)

a) $200,000 + $250,000 + $250,000 = $700,000
$700,000 × 0.30 = $210,000
$250,000 - $210,000 = $40,000 bonus to current partners
$40,000/2 = $20,000 bonus to each current partner
Turner = $200,000 + $20,000 = $220,000
Frost = $250,000 + $20,000 = $270,000
Brown = $210,000
b) $200,000 + $250,000 + $275,000 = $725,000
$725,000 × 0.30 = $217,500
$275,000 - $217,500 = $57,500 bonus to current partners
$57,500/2 = $28,750 bonus to each current partner
c) $200,000 + $250,000 + $180,000 = $630,000
$630,000 × 0.30 = $189,000
$180,000 - $189,000 = ($9,000) bonus to new partner
($9,000)/2 = ($4,500) bonus from each current partner to new partner
Turner = $200,000 - $4,500 = $195,500
Frost = $250,000 - $4,500 = $245,500
Brown = $189,000

Answer: Liquidation is the process of going out of business by selling the entity's assets and paying its liabilities.
Before the business is liquidated, its accounts must be adjusted and closed. The process of liquidating a partnership begins with the sale of all noncash assets, continues with the payment of all debts, and ends with the distribution of the remaining cash to the partners.
