ACCOUNTING FOR PARTNERSHIPS Basic Considerations and Formation “In this new wave of technology, you can’t do it all yourself, you have to form alliances.” --Carlos Slim Helu Telecommunications billionaire Carlos Slim Helu learned early in his career that money partnering is critical to helping ensure success. While Helu made his money creating Mexico’s first privately owned telecommunications company, Telemex, he had to partner with French and American telecom companies in order to take his native Mexico’s phone service away from the government. Sergey Brin, 34 years old and Larry Page, 35, both single, with $18.7 billion net worth each, ranked 32" and 33” (Forbes 2008, The World’s Billionaires). They are the founders of Google. In 2003, Forbes estimated their collective worth at $1.1 billion. They erred. Since taking their Internet search engine public in August 2005, the dynamic duo behind Google has seen their combined fortune soar to $8.0 billion. In 2005, it’s $11.0 billion each. Both partners have math teacher parents. Brin emigrated from Russia; Page grew up in Michigan. They met at Stanford while pursuing graduate degrees in computer science. They founded Google in Sept. 7, 1998. Google is an Internet gateway that combs through more than 3 billion web pages. Raised $25 million from venture capitalists. As at Sept. 2007, Google is leading the pack with 55.34% search engine market share excluding Google in other countries like Google U.K., Canada, Germany, Spain, etc. Yahoo is down to 10.73% and MSN to 3.08% (Source: www.netapplications.com). In the 1° quarter of 2005, Google has a 51% global search market share (Source: ComScore, Piper Jaffray & Co.). Yahoo is a distant 24% and MSN at 13%. Top this, the accounting firm Deloitte Touche named Google the fastest-growing company ever—noting that its five-year revenue growth exceeded 400,000 percent. This means Google rocketed from being unknown to having the status of Apple or Microsoft in five years. Google is now into satellite mapping, online payment systems, news, YouTube and recently, smart phones powered by Android.2 | Chapter 1 - Basic Considerations and Formation At the outset of their business endeavor, the partnership form of business may have provided Brin and Page the necessary advantages to start-up their software venture, How much should they contribute to the business considering its business potential? In what form will the investment be? How should the partners divide profits and losses? If ever, how should a partner who leaves the entity compensated for his share of the business? What will be the share of venture capitalists? DEFINITION In a contract of partnership, tWwoworsmorespersons=bind=themselves™tomcontribute money, property, or industry"to aycommonsfund, with the intention of dividing the profityamong themselves. Two or more persons may also form a partnership for the exerciseof'a"profession (Civil Code of the Philippines, Article1767).

The partnership has'@ Teiennoeeeetae separate and distinct from that of each of the partners) (Civil Code of the Philippines, Article"1768). Thus, for example, where Fabella and Neis established a partnership, three person’ are involved, namely: the partnership and the partners, Fabella and Neis. : Partnérshipsiresemble"solesproprietorships; except that there are two or more owners of the business. Each owner is called a partner. Partnerships are often formed to bring together various talents and knowledge. Partnerships provide a means of obtaining more equity capital than a single individual can obtain and allow the sharing of risks for rapidly growing businesses. Aeprofession: is an occupation that involves a higher education or its equivalent, ahd mentalrather than,manual labor. Strictly speaking, the exercise of a profession is not a business or an enterprise for profit but the law allows two or more persons to act as partners in the practice of their profession. Pantnerships:are generally-associated. with the. practice of |aw,.public accounting, medicine and other. professions, Partnerships of this nature are called generalsprofessional partnerships. On the other hand, service industries, retail trade, wholesale and manufacturing enterprises may also be organized as partnerships. CHARACTERISTICS OF A PARTNERSHIP. The characteristics of partnerships are different from the sole proprietorships already studied in basic accounting. Some of the more important characteristics are as follows: ny -There*cannot bea. partnership. without. contribution of money, Property‘or industry (i.e. work or services which may either be personal manual efforts or intellectual) to a common fund.Chapter 1 - Basic Considerations and Formation |_3 Division,of,Profits,orsLosses.

Emerita Geron will invest sufficient cash to get an equal interest in the partnership while Emerita Modesto will’ transfer the assets and liabilities of her business. The account balances on the books of Modesto prior to partnership formation follows: ‘ Debit Credit 4 AK Cash 180,000 Accounts Receivable 300,000 Office Equipment 1,500,000 7 Accumulated Depreciation 600,000 Accounts Payable 155,000 Salaries Payable 25,000 Emerita Modesto, Capital 1,200,000 It is agreed that for purposes of establishing Emerita Geron’s interest, the following adjustments shall be made in the books of Emerita Modesto: 1. An allowance for uncollectible accounts of 5% of accounts receivable is to be established. Prepaid expenses amounting to P30,000 were omitted by the accountant. This is to be recognized. Additional salaries payable in the amount of P10,000 is to be established. To understand the adjustments that will be made prior to formation, it will be helpful to review the basics. The book—Basic Accounting Made Easy 2011 Edition by WIN Ballada ably discussed the basics of accounting in a manner similar to the following: The accounting equation states that @8Sets|must/a/ways equal liabilities: andyowner's equity. The basic accounting model is: Assets a Liabilities + Owner’s Equity12 | chapter 1 - Basic Considerations and Formation. assets are on the left side of the equation opposite the liabilities and This explains why increases and decreases in assets are recorded in the opposite manner as liabilities and owner's equity are recorded. The equation also explaing why llabillties and capital follow the same rules of debit and credit. The logic Sf debiting and crediting is related to the accounting equation. Note that the owner's equity. ‘Accounting is based on a double-entry system which means that the dual effects of a business transaction are recorded. A debit side entry must have a corresponding credit side entry. For every transaction, there must be one or more accounts debited and one or more accounts credited. Each transaction affects at least two accounts. The total debits for a transaction must always equal the total credits. The account type determines how increases and decreases in it are recorded Increases in assets are recorded as debits (left side of the account) while decreases in assets are recorded as credits (on the right side). Conversely, increases in liabilities ‘and owner's equity are recorded by credits; decreases in liabilities and owner's equity are recorded by debits. The rules of debit and credit for income and expense accounts are based on the relationship of these accounts to owner’s equity. Income increases owner’s equity and expense decreases owner’s equity. Hence, increases in income are recorded as credits and decreases as debits. Increases in expenses are recorded as debits and decreases as credits. These are the rules of debit and credit. Using the accounting equation approach of analysis, the adjustments are as follows: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity 1. -P15,000 = + -P15,000 a + 30,000 a + + 30,000 3. = +P10,000 + = 10,000 +P15,000, = +P10,000 + +P 5,000 +P15,000 = +P15,000 hee Entries and Explanations: 1. An allowance of 5% of P300,000 or P:15,000 needs to be established. The account ‘Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is a contra-asset account. When this accounts increased, the effect is to decrease the related asset account. The owner's equity is also decreased since this provision for uncollectibles is considered as an expense in the ordinary course of business. 15,000 Emerita Modesto, Capital 15,000 Allowance for Uncollectible Acts. 2. An omission to record the asset—prepaid expenses will denote that the business are overstated. When the expenses are overstati correspondingly the owner’s equity is understated. To recognize t expense, the entry will be: the expenses of ed, profit and he prepaid 30,000 Prepaid Expenses 30,000 Emerita Modesto, CapitalChapter 1 - Basic Considerations and Formation | 13 3. The establishment of additional salaries payable will increase liabilities. It can be deduced that the salaries expenses are understated and to correct the misstatement the owner’s equity will be decreased. Emerita Modesto, Capital 10,000 Salaries Payable 10,000 The adjustments prior to formation will entail debits or credits to asset or liability accounts. To maintain the double entry system of accounting, a corresponding debit or credit to owner's equity account will be made. The following T-account will serve to summarize the necessary adjustments to the capital account: Owner’s Equity Account Debit Credit 1. Decrease in asset. 1. Increase in asset. 2. Increase in liability. 2. Decrease in liability. 3. Increase in contra-asset. 3. Decrease in contra-asset. Opening Entries of a Partnership Upon Formation A partnership may be formed in any of the following ways: 1. Individuals with no existing business form a partnership. 2.
