PARTNERSHIP FORMATION
PARTNERSHIP
Definition: According to Article 1767 of the civil code, by the contract of partnership
two or more persons bind themselves to contribute money, property or industry to a
common fund, with the intention of dividing the profits among themselves.
A partnership is a legal relation based upon the expressed or implied agreement of
two or more competent persons whereby they unite their property, labor or skill in
carrying on some lawful business as principals for their joint profit. (Mechem,
Elements of the law of partnership)

property, and/or industry to the common business.

property) or personal property (movable), tangible or intangible properties.
C. Industry-it means the work or services of the party associated, which may
either be personal mutual efforts or intellectual, and for which he receives a
share in the profits of the business. (11 Manresa)
2. Division of Profits and losses - this is the very reason of the partnership
business, as a matter of fact, this element is what distinguishes the partnership
contract from voluntazy religious or social organization.
A stipulation (condition) which excludes one or more partners from any share in
the profits or losses is void. (Article 1799)
3. Limited Life-A partnership has limited life because it can be easily dissohed
by admission, death, incapacity, withdrawal of any partner or by expiration of
the term specified in the agreement or contract.
4. Mutual Agency ~ Any partner can bind the other partners to contract if he is
acting within the express or implied authority. (Article 1818)
If the partners fail to designate who among them shall act as manager, all of
them shall be considered managers and agents and whatever any one of them
may do alone shall bind the partnership, unless the partner so acting has in fact.PARTNERSHIP FORMATION. 2
ho authority to act for the partnership in the particular matter, and the person
with whom he is dealinghad knowledge of the fact that he has no such authority.

for all debts incurred by the partnership.
‘The partners are liable to the_extent of its personal assets if the partnership
cannot settle its obligations to its creditors.
Income Taxes- Partnership will be liable fora 20% or 25%% income tax because
the partnership is treated as a corporation in the National Internal Revenue
Code (Tax Code) However; General Professional Partnership is exempt from
income tax.
Co - Ownership of contributed Property - All the assets contributed in the
partnership will be the assets of the partnership by virtue of its separate and
distinct legal personality. Therefore the assets contributed by one partner will
become joint assets of all partners.
Legal entity — partnership has juridical personality separate and distinct from
that of each partner. (Article 1772)
As a juridical person, a partnership may acquire and possess property (real or
personal), as well as incur obligations and bring civil or criminal actions in
conformity with the laws and regulations of its organization.
ADVANTAGES OF PARTNERSHIP

creditors.

moral support and will allow for more creative brainstorming.

because two or more partners may be able to contribute more funds and because
their borrowing capacity may be greater.

evaded and the public can also determine more accurately their membership and
capital before dealing with them.” (Dean Capistrano, Civil Code of the Phil., Vol. IV).

ACCOUNTING FOR PARTNERSHIP
‘The accounting for partnership differs from a sole proprietorship or a corporation
with regards to maintenance of ledger accounts. Although it is possible to operate
with one equity account for each partner, it is desirable that the following partner's
account be maintained.
1. Capital Accounts
2. Drawing account or personal accounts
3. Accounts for loans to and from partners
Capital Accounts
‘The initial investment of a partner is recorded by debiting the asset accounts and
crediting any liabilities assumed by the partnership, and crediting the partner's
capital at the agreed or fair value of the net assets contributed (Assets contributed -
Liabilities assumed). Subsequent to the initial investment, capital account of the
partners increases for any additional investments of cash or non-cash assets and
by the share in the partnership profit. Partners’ capital account decreases for any
cash withdrawals or non-cash assets and by the share in partnership losses.
Capital Account
Permanent withdrawals Original Investments

Partners share in net losses Partners share in profits

Drawing or Personal Accounts (Temporary) versus Capital withdrawals
(Permanent)
1, Drawing or Personal Accounts (Temporary) - are initially recordedin the drawing
account because it arises from salaries or regular advances made by the
partners in anticipation of their share in the profits.
2. Capital withdrawals (Permanent) - this withdrawal directly affects the capital
account balance because it arises from withdrawals of investments.
‘This drawing account, whether it is a temporary or permanent, should be close to
the capital accounts at the end of each accounting period before a partnership
balance sheet is prepared.
Drawing Accounts
‘Temporary withdrawals
Partners share in net losses Partners share in profits
(this may be debited directly to capital - (this may be credited directly to capital
account) account)
Note: The profits and (losses) are credited (debited) to capital or drawing accounts.
The choice will depend on the intention of the partners. If they want to maintain
theircapital accounts for investments and permanent withdrawals, the profit or loss
should be entered in the drawing account.
But, if they want to make the profit or loss part of their capital, then the capital
account should be used. Regardless of the case, the resulting partners’ ending
capital will be the same because at the end of the year drawing accounts will be
closed to capital.
Loans to and from the partnership
A withdrawal by a partner of substantial amount of cash or non-cash with the
intention of its repayment to the firm may be debited to Loan to (Receivable from)
partner rather than to partners’ drawing account.
On the other hand a partner may lend money to the firm which is considered as a
loan rather than an increase in capital account balance. These advances should be
credited to Loan from (Payable to) partner and not to partner’s capital account
classified as liabilities but separate from liabilities to outsiders. The partnership is
obligated to pay interest on the loan unless the all partners agree not to pay such
interest.PARTNERSHIP FORMATION 9
PARTNERSHIP FORMATION
‘The Partnership may be formed in several ways, namely:
1, Formation of the partnership for the first time. (Two or more persons with no
existing business)
2. Conversion of sole proprietorship business to a partnership.
a. A sole proprietor and another individual who has no business.
b, ‘Two or more sole proprietors combining their businesses.
3. Admission of a new partner (chapter 4)
Partners may invest cash, non-cash assets and/or services in the partnership. When

A. Cash - Face Value, if it is denominated in foreign currency, it should be
converted first to peso using the current exchange rate.
B, Non-Cash Assets ~ Agreed value, if the partners have no agreement, the
contribution will be recognized at their fair market values at the date of transfer
to the partnership.
C. Services or Industry ~ Memorandum Entry is made for services made by the
partner.
Any liabilities assumed by the partnership should be valued at its present value (fair
value) of the remaining cash flows.

share profits and losses equally. A contributed a parcel of land that cost him
P 10,000,000. B contributed P15,000,000 cash. The land has a quoted price of
P 16,000,000 on January 2, 2020 and subject toa mortgage of P2,000,000. The entry

Note: There are two types of revaluation (1) under revaluation (2) over revaluation
method. In under (positive) revaluation (positive) method the total agreed capital of
the partnership is greater than the total capital contribution of the partnership (TAC

be depreciated based on the remaining or revised useful life. However, the allowance
for uncollectible accounts will still be carried forward because it has a possibility
of collection. The P4,800,000 is only a provision for possible uncollectible
