Partnership problem

effective capital means aggregate of paid-up share capital (excluding share application money), share premium account, reserves & Surpluses (excluding revaluation reserve), long-term loan and deposits repayable after one year minus investments, accumulated losses & preliminary exp. not written off.

But what is the use of effective capital in partnership account...I was solving partnership question and in that question there was effective capital and their calculation was not clear to me... so tell me how to calculate effective capital(IN PARTNERSHIP) ...
