The minimum guaranteed amount shall be paid to the new partner when his share of profit as per the profit sharing ratio:
Solution
When a new partner is admitted with a minimum guarantee, it means the partner is assured of receiving at least a specified amount as their share of profit, irrespective of their actual profit-sharing ratio.
The guarantee becomes operative when the new partner's share calculated as per the profit-sharing ratio falls short of the guaranteed amount.
Example: If a new partner is guaranteed ₹50,000 but their share as per profit-sharing ratio works out to only ₹35,000, then the guarantee ensures they receive the full ₹50,000.
Conversely, if their share as per the profit-sharing ratio is ₹60,000 (more than ₹50,000), they receive ₹60,000 since it exceeds the guarantee. The guarantee only provides a minimum floor, not a ceiling.
The deficiency (difference between guaranteed amount and actual share) is typically borne by the guaranteeing partner(s) from their own share of profits.
Therefore, the minimum guaranteed amount is paid when the new partner's share as per profit-sharing ratio is less than the guaranteed amount.
