Partnership:

What is Partnership?

The form of association of two or more persons, who contributes resources like money together in order to carry on a business, is known as partnership. It is of following two types:

• Simple Partnership: A partnership in which capitals of the partners are invested for the same time is known as simple partnership. The profits or losses are divided among the partners in the ratio of their investment.

• Compound Partnership: A partnership, in which the capitals of the partners are invested for different periods, is known as compound partnership. In such cases equivalent capitals are calculated for each partner by multiplying their capital contributions with time. The profits or losses are then divided in the ratio of these equivalent capitals.

A partner who only invests capitals but does not participate in the working of the business is called a sleeping partner while one who also participates in the working of business is called a working partner. A working partner gets either monthly payment or a share in the profit for his contribution in the management of the business. This payment is deducted from the total profit before its distribution.
