Proprietorship: Ease of formation and nontaxable entity. Partnership: Expanded owner expertise and capital, nontaxable entity, and ease of formation. Limited liability company: Limited liability to owners, expanded access to capital, nontaxable entity, and ease of formation. 2. The disadvantages of a partnership are its life is limited, each partner has unlimited liability, one partner can bind the partnership to contracts, and raising large amounts of capital is more difficult for a partnership than a limited liability company. 3. Yes. A partnership may incur losses in excess of the total investment of all partners. The division of losses among the partners would be made according to their agreement. In addition, because of the unlimited liability of each partner for partnership debts, a particular partner may actually lose a greater amount than his or her capital balance. 4. The partnership agreement (partnership) or operating agreement (LLC) establishes the income-sharing ratio among the partners (members), amounts to be invested, and buysell agreements between the partners (members). In addition, for an LLC the operating agreement specifies if the LLC is ownermanaged or manager-managed. 5. Equally. 6. No. Maholic would have to bear his share of losses. In the absence of any agreement as to division of net income or net loss, his share would be one-third. In addition, because of the unlimited liability of each partner, Maholic may lose more than one-third of the losses if one partner is unable to absorb his share of the losses. 7. The delivery equipment should be recorded at $10,000, the valuation agreed upon by the partners. 8. The accounts receivable should be recorded by a debit of $150,000 to Accounts Receivable and a credit of $15,000 to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. 9. Yes. Partnership net income is divided according to the income-sharing ratio, regardless of the amount of the withdrawals by the partners. Therefore, it is very likely that the partners’ monthly withdrawals from a partnership will not exactly equal their shares of net income. 10. a. Debit the partner’s drawing account and credit Cash. 682 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. b. No. Payments to partners and the division of net income are separate. The amount of one does not affect the amount of the other. c. Debit the income summary account for the amount of the net income and credit the partners’ capital accounts for their respective shares of the net income. a. By purchase of an interest, the capital interest of the new partner is obtained from the old partner, and neither the total assets nor the total equity of the partnership is affected. b. By investment, both the total assets and the total equity of the partnership are increased. It is important to state all partnership assets in terms of current prices at the time of the admission of a new partner because failure to do so might result in participation by the new partner in gains or losses attributable to the period prior to admission to the partnership. To illustrate, assume that A and B share net income and net loss equally and operate a partnership that owns land recorded at and costing $20,000. C is admitted to the partnership, and the three partners share in income equally. The day after C is admitted to the partnership, the land is sold for $35,000 and, since the land was not revalued, C receives one-third distribution of the $15,000 gain. In this case, C participates in the gain attributable to the period prior to admission to the partnership. A new partner who is expected to improve the fortunes (income) of the partnership, through such things as reputation or skill, might be given equity in excess of the amount invested to join the partnership. a. Losses and gains on realization are divided among partners in the income-sharing ratio. b. Cash is distributed to the partners according to their ownership claims, as indicated by the credit balances in their capital accounts, after taking into consideration the potential deficiencies that may result from the inability to collect from a deficient partner. The statement of partners’ equity (for a partnership) and statement of members’ equity (for an LLC) both show the material changes in owner’s equity for each ownership person or class for a specified period.

However, in the absence of an agreement, net income is divided equally between the partners. Therefore, Jan’s conclusion was correct, but for the wrong reasons. In addition, note that the monthly drawings have no impact on the division of income. Ex. 12–7 a. Net income: $132,000 Salary allowance ............................................

Revenue per professional staff, 2004: $6,876,000,000 = $301,000 22,841 Revenue per professional staff, 2005: $ 7,814,000 = $296,000 26,401 b. The revenues increased between the two years from $6,876 million to $7,814 million, or 13.6% [($7,814 – $6,876)/$6,876]. Revenue growth has been strong, mostly resulting from Sarbanes-Oxley work. However, the number of employees has grown at a faster rate, from 22,841 to 26,401, or 15.6% [(26,401 – 22,841)/22,841]. As a result, the revenue per professional staff employee has dropped from $301,000 to $296,000. This slight loss in efficiency is probably to be expected. Public accounting firms have had difficulty finding employees for the emerging Sarbanes-Oxley work. From 2004 to 2005, they have aggressively hired employees to bring the workforce in line with the demand for work. Prior to this time, the firm was relying heavily on overtime. Ex. 12–28 a. Revenue per employee, 2007: $32,500,000 = $125,000 260 Revenue per employee, 2008: $38,000,000 = $100,000 380 b. Revenues increased between the two years; however, the number of employees has increased at a faster rate. Thus, the revenue per employee declined from $125,000 in 2007 to $100,000 in 2008. This indicates that the efficiency of the firm has declined in the two years. This is likely the result of the expansion. That is, the large increase in the employment base is the likely result of the expansion into the four new cities. These new employees may need to be trained and thus are not as efficient in their jobs as the more experienced employees in the existing cities. Often, a business will suffer productivity losses in the midst of significant expansion because of the inexperience of the new employees. 702 PROBLEMS Prob. 12–1A 1.

Often, disagreements are based upon honest differences of opinion. However, in this scenario, there is evidence that Tate was acting unethically. Tate apparently made no mention of his plans to “scale back” once the partnership was consummated. As a result, Crowe agreed to an equal division of income based on the assumption that Tate’s past efforts would project into the future, while in fact, Tate had no intention of this. As a result, Crowe is now providing more effort, while receiving the same income as Tate. This is clearly not sustainable in the long term. Tate does not appear to be concerned about this inequity. Thus, the evidence points to some duplicity on Tate’s part. Essentially, he knows that he is riding on Crowe’s effort and had planned it that way. Crowe could respond to this situation by either withdrawing from the partnership or changing the partnership agreement. One possible change would be to provide a partner salary based on the amount of patient billings. This salary would be highly associated with the amount of revenue brought into the partnership, thus avoiding disputes associated with unequal contribution to the firm. SA 12–2 A good solution to this problem would be to divide income in three steps: 1. Provide interest on each partner’s capital balance. 2. Provide a monthly salary for each partner. 3. Divide the remainder according to a partnership formula. With this approach, the return on capital and effort will be separately calculated in the income division formula before applying the percentage formula. Thus, Wise will receive a large interest distribution based on the large capital balance, while Sanchez should receive a large salary distribution based on the larger service contribution. The return on capital and salary allowances should be based on prevailing market rates. If both partners are pleased with their return on capital and effort, then the remaining income could be divided equally among them. 723 SA 12–3 a. Deloitte & Touche ................................................ Ernst & Young...................................................... PricewaterhouseCoopers ................................... KPMG .................................................................... Revenue per Partner Revenue per Professional Staff $2,677,570 2,755,500 2,358,636 2,596,215 $339,170 334,223 244,649 346,789 *Revenue per partner is determined by dividing the total revenue by the number of partners for each firm, adjusting the revenues for the fact that they are expressed in millions in the table. Revenue per partner is determined as follows: Deloitte & Touche revenue per partner: $6,876,000 ,000 = $2,677,570 2,568 **Likewise, the revenue per professional staff is determined by dividing the total revenue by the number of professional staff, adjusting the revenues for the fact that they are expressed in millions in the table. Revenue per professional staff is determined as follows: Deloitte & Touche revenue per professional staff: $6,876,000 ,000 = $339,170 20,273 b. The amount earned per partner is not significantly different between the four firms. Ernst & Young has the highest revenue per partner, while PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) has the lowest. PWC’s revenue per partner is about 14% below the highest revenue per partner firm, Ernst & Young [$2,755,500 – $2,358,636)/$2,755,500]. The revenue per professional staff is significantly lower for PWC. PWC revenue per professional staff member is 29% below the highest revenue per professional firm, KPMG LLP [($346,789 – $244,649)/$346,789]. Indeed, PWC appears to be somewhat of an outlier in its revenue earned per professional staff. Together these data indicate that PWC may not be operating its firm as efficiently as the other three firms. The mix of services offered by the firms does not appear to impact these numbers. It is interesting to note that only Deloitte & Touche is significantly more involved in management advisory services (MAS) than the other three firms. The other three firms have sold their MAS operations in order to better conform to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which prohibited audit clients from using MAS services from the same firm. Deloitte & Touche has decided not to sell its consulting practice. 724 SA 12–4 a. A key distinction between a partnership and a corporation is that all of the partners (owners) are not only investors but also work in the partnership. The partners provide both capital and “sweat equity.” This is a key distinction that provides insight about the performance of the firm. The expected income from the partnership is given as the country average, or $260,000. The following is what each partner actually earned from the partnership. Allocation of partnership income ($44,000,000 ÷ 200 partners) = $220,000 per partner Note that the partners’ earnings are less than what might be expected from the expected, or average, income. Thus, the partnership has performed below the partners’ expectations. b. The income statement indicates some large litigation losses. These losses appear to be the major reason for the partnership’s poor performance. Without the losses, the partnership net income allocation would have been $295,000 [($44,000,000 + $15,000,000) ÷ 200]. The $295,000 exceeds the market-based compensation of $260,000 per year. In addition, the staff professional salaries of $80,000 per year ($120,00 ($75,000). This would also have led to a smaller income to the partners than might have been expected. 725 SA 12–5 When developing an LLC (or partnership), the operating (or partnership) agreement is a critical part of establishing a business. Each party must consider the various incentives of each individual in the LLC. For example, in this case, one party, Dave Lester, is providing all of the funding, while the other two parties are providing expertise and talent. This type of arrangement can create some natural conflicts because the interests of an investor might not be exactly the same as those operating the LLC. Specifically, you would want to advise Lester that not all matters should be settled by majority vote. Such a provision would allow the two noninvesting members to vote as a block to the detriment of Lester. For example, the salaries for the two working members could be set by their vote, so that little profit would be left to be distributed. This would essentially keep Lester’s return limited to the 10% preferred return. Lester should insist that salary allowances require unanimous approval of all members. A second issue is the division of partnership income. The suggested agreement is for all the partners to share the remaining income, after the 10% preferred return, equally. Lester should be counseled to consider all aspects of the LLC contribution to determine if this division is equitable. There are many considerations including the amount of investment, risk of the venture, degree of expertise of noninvesting partners, and degree of exclusivity of noninvesting members’ effort contribution (unique skills or business connections, for example). Often, the simple assumption of equal division is not appropriate. In addition, it is sometimes best to require even working members to have an investment in the LLC, even if it is small, so that they are sensitive to the perspective of financial loss. 726
