ACCOUNTING FOR PARTNERSHIP.
1. Write any two demerits of partnership business?
Ans:- Unlimited Liability: In a partnership, partners are jointly
and severally liable for the business's debts. This means each
partner is personally responsible for the full amount of the debt,
not just their share.
Potential for Conflict: Partnership businesses can be susceptible
to disagreements and conflicts among partners.
2. Give two circumstances under which the fixed capital of
partnerships may change?
Ans:- Under a fixed capital method, the partners' capital
accounts remain relatively stable. Two circumstances where
fixed capital may change are: 1) Additional capital is introduced
by the partners, and 2) A part of the capital is permanently
withdrawn by the partners.
Explanation:
• Additional capital:
When partners contribute more funds to the partnership, it
increases the fixed capital balance.
• Permanent withdrawal:
If a partner permanently withdraws a portion of their invested
capital, the fixed capital balance is reduced.
