What is a Partnership?

A partnership is a type of business in which two or more persons enter into a legal agreement to be co-owners, allocate responsibility for running the organization, and share the company’s profits or losses.

How many types of partners are there?

Working partner: An active partner is someone who is actively involved in and supervises the business.

Sleeping partner: A sleeping partner is a partner who invests money but is not involved in or responsible for the firm.

Simple partnership: A partnership in which each member invests capital for the same duration.

Simple Partnership Formula: If P and Q contributed Rs. a and b, respectively, to a firm for one year, their profit (or loss) at that time would be P’s Profit (or misfortune): Q’s profit (or misfortune) = a:b

Compound partnership: A partnership in which the parties spend capital for different time period..

Compound Partnership Formula: In a compound partnership, different investors invest their money for varying periods of time. The benefit-sharing proportion is calculated by multiplying the capital contribution by the unit of time (usually months).

Compound Partnership Formula: P₁: P₂ = C₁ × T₁: C₂ × T₂.

Here,

P₁ represents Partner 1’s profit.

C₁ represents Partner 1’s capital.

T₁ = The time period during which Partner 1 contributed his capital.

P₂ represents Partner 2’s profit.

C₂ represents Partner 2’s capital.

T₂ = The time period during which Partner 2 contributed his capital.
