interest and salaries but before deducting bonus; and any remaining amount divided equally. How
much is the share of DSP in profit?

*Note: Bonus is profit-based. There would be no bonus allowed if the total salaries and interests
exceed the net income after the deduction of salaries and interest.
“The bonus is computed on the basis of partnership profit as the concept of ‘partnership profit’ is
generally understood in accounting practice. Partners may, however, intend for salaries and interest
allowances to be deducted in determining the base for computing the bonus. In such case, no bonus
is allowed if there is insufficient profit after distribution of salaries and interests.” (Tolentino-
