Problem F: DGB and DSP are partners engaged in an export-import business. Several transactions
during 2018 affected the partners’ capital accounts, which are summarized as follows:
DGP DSP
Debit Credit Debit Credit
Balance, Jan. 1 ₱600,000.00 ₱800,000.00

Oct. 31 ₱125,000.00 ₱50,000.00
At the end of the year, the Income Summary account has a credit balance of ₱180,000.00.
6. If profits and losses are divided using the average capital ratio, how much is the share of DGB
in the profit?
7. Assume that the partners agreed on the following interest on average capital at 8%; salaries of
₱24,000 and ₱48,000 to DGB and DSP respectively; bonus to DGB at 20% of profit after deducting
interest and salaries but before deducting bonus; and any remaining amount divided equally. How
much is the share of DSP in profit?
Interests
DGB ₱600,000.00 0.08 ₱48,000.00
DSP ₱850,000.00 0.08 ₱68,000.00
TOTAL INTERESTS ₱116,000.00
*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-
