Solution
When dealing with guarantee of profit, the logical sequence of steps follows the natural flow of profit distribution:
Step 1: Prepare Profit and Loss Appropriation Account as usual (B)
This is the starting point where we calculate the distributable profit after making all necessary adjustments like interest on capital, salary, interest on drawings, etc.
Step 2: Divide the profit in the given ratio (A)
The available profit is distributed among all partners according to their agreed profit-sharing ratio. At this stage, we calculate what each partner actually receives.
Step 3: Find the deficiency (D)
After distributing the profit, we compare the guaranteed partner's actual share with the guaranteed amount. The deficiency is calculated as:
Deficiency = Guaranteed Amount - Actual Share received
If the actual share is less than the guaranteed amount, a deficiency exists.
Step 4: Deduct from guaranteeing partner and add to guaranteed partner (C)
The deficiency amount is transferred from the guaranteeing partner's capital/current account to the guaranteed partner's account to fulfill the guarantee commitment.
This sequence ensures that we first complete the normal profit distribution process before making any adjustments for the guarantee arrangement. The guarantee comes into play only after determining each partner's normal share.
Correct Answer: Option 3 - (B), (A), (D), (C)
