Question
Cervantes, Chavez, Cabindol and Cortes are partners in the 4C Partnership with 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% participation in partnership profits and losses respectively. During 2019, Cabindol contributed property valued at P70,000 to the partnership and withdrew P220,000 (charged against his capital account). If Cabindol’s capital account had a net decrease of P90,000 during the calendar year 2019. What was the share of Cortes in the net profit (loss) of the 4C Partnership?
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to understand the changes in Cabindol's capital account.
-
Cabindol contributed property valued at P70,000 to the partnership. This would increase his capital account by P70,000.
-
Cabindol withdrew P220,000 from the partnership. This would decrease his capital account by P220,000.
-
Overall, Cabindol’s capital account had a net decrease of P90,000 during the calendar year 2019.
So, let's calculate the net profit or loss of the partnership:
The net change in Cabindol's capital account is the sum of the increase from the property contribution and the decrease from the withdrawal.
Net change = P70,000 (contribution) - P220,000 (withdrawal) = -P150,000
However, we know that the net decrease in Cabindol's capital account was P90,000. This means that the partnership must have made a profit, which increased Cabindol's capital account to offset some of the decrease caused by the withdrawal.
P90,000 (net decrease) + P150,000 (decrease without profit) = P60,000
This P60,000 is Cabindol's 30% share of the partnership's profit.
To find the total profit of the partnership, we can divide Cabindol's share by his percentage share in the partnership:
Total profit = P60,000 / 30% = P200,000
Finally, to find Cortes's share in the net profit, we multiply the total profit by his percentage share in the partnership:
Cortes's share = P200,000 * 40% = P80,000
So, Cortes's share in the net profit of the 4C Partnership was P80,000.
