Frequently asked questions
How is profit shared in a partnership?
Profit is shared in the ratio of each partner's capital multiplied by the time it was invested. If A invests Rs. 10,000 for 12 months and B invests Rs. 15,000 for 8 months, both products equal 120,000, so they share the profit equally.
What is the difference between a simple and compound partnership?
In a simple partnership, all partners invest for the same period, so profit is shared in the ratio of capital alone. In a compound partnership, capital or time differs, so the ratio uses capital multiplied by time for each partner.
