Fixed and fluctuating capital
- Permanent addition or deduction of capital will be recorded in fixed capital.
 - While interest on capital, interest on drawing, drawings, profit or loss for the year, remuneration of partners – regular nature transactions will be recorded in fluctuating capital account,
 
Interest on capital:
- If it is mentioned in deed then only it can be paid.
 - In case of insufficient profit, available profit will be distributed in capital ratio.
 - In case of loss if deed silent interest will not be paid.
 - But specifically given in deed although there is a loss, interest on capital will be paid. It must be paid in loss also.
 
Interest on drawings :
- if mentioned in deed then only it will be paid.
 - Beginning of month multiply 78/12
 - End of month multiply 66/12
 - Middle of month multiply 72/12
 - If date of drawing is not given interest of 6 month will be paid.
 
Effective capital
- actual utilization period will be considered, product method can be used,
 - Monthly or day product will be used.
 
A and B partners: capital as on 01.01.2010 1,00,000 and 2,00,000. introduce A 1.4.10 – 50.000 B 20,000
withdraw 1.10.10 A – 20,000 B 10,000
effective capital
A
To 1.1/ 3 months*100000 = 3,00,000
1.4 to 1.10 6 months*1,50,000 = 9,00,000
1.10 to 31.12 3months*1,30,000 = 3,90,000
Total 15,90,000
B
1.1 To 1.4 3 months*200000 = 6,00,000
1.4 to 1.10 6 months*2,20,000 = 13,20,000
1.10 to 31.12 3months*2,10,000 = 6,30,000
Total 25,50,000
Ratio 15,90,000 : 25,50,000 = 53 : 85
Guaranteed minimum profit:
If given by partner:
- Deficit will be deducted from partner giving the guarantee after distribution of profit.
 
If guarantee given by firm:
- First distribute profit of guaranteed partner, then balance will be given to other partners.
 
Unit 2 goodwill
- It is the reputation of firm due to which over and above normal profit, firm can earn.
 - It arise due to location, service, patent name etc.
 
It is required to calculate in the following cases.
- Change in profit and loss ratio
 - Admission of new partner
 - Retirement of partner
 - Dissolution of firm
 
Method of valuation
Average profit method:
- In case of increase or decrease trend in profit, weightage profit will be calculated otherwise simple average is used.
 - Simple profit of 3 years 10000, 8000, 9000
 - Average profit 10000+8000+9000/3 =9000
 - If given goodwill is 3 years purchase
 - Goodwill 9000*3 = 27,000
 
Weightage
- profit of 3 yrs 10000, 12000, 15000
 - 10000 1 10000
 - 12000 2 24000
 - 15000 3 45000
 - 6 79000
 - Average profit = 79000/6
 - = 13166.67
 - If given goodwill is 3 years purchase
 - Goodwill 13166.67*3 = 39500
 
Super profit:
Steps:
- Find capital invested
 - Find adjusted average profit
 - Normal profit = step1* normal rate of return
 - Super profit = step 2- step 3
 - Goodwill = super profit* no of years
 
Annuity method:
- 
Under this method time value of money is considered.
 - 
Goodwill = annuity rate of Rs 1 for given years*super profit
 
Capitalization method:
Steps:
find
- 
Normal rate of return
 - 
Adjusted Average profit
 - 
Capital invested
 - 
Capitalize value = step2/step1
 - 
Goodwill = step 4 – step 3
