guaranteed profit

Guarantee is an assurance given to the partner of the firm that at least a fixed amount shall be given to him/her irrespective of his/her actual share in profits of the firm. If actual share in profits is less than the guaranteed amount in that case the deficit amount shall be borne either by the firm or by any partner as the case may be.
Note: Guarantee to a partner is given for minimum share in profits. If the actual share in profits is more than the minimum guaranteed amount then the actual profits will be allowed to the partner.

Case: 1. When guarantee is given by FIRM (i.e., by all the Partners of the firm):

Guaranteed amount to a partner is written in Profit and Loss Appropriation A/c

Remaining profits are distributed among the remaining partners in their remaining ratio.

Case 2: When guarantee is given by a partner or partners to another partner:

Calculate the share in profits for the partner to whom guarantee is given

If share in profits is more than the guaranteed amount, distribute the profits as per the profit and loss sharing ratio in usual manner.

If share in profits is less than the guaranteed amount, find the difference between the share in profits and the guaranteed amount and the difference is known as Deficiency. Deficiency is distributed among the partner or partners who guaranteed in a certain ratio and subtracted from his or their respective shares.

Example: A and B were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:2. They admit
C for 1/6th share in profits and guaranteed that his share of profits will not be less then Rs.
25,000. Total profits of the firm were Rs. 90,000. Calculate share of profits for each:
partner when:
1. Guarantee is given by firm.
2. Guarantee is given by A
3. Guarantee is given by A and B equally.
