Q1 FREE PREVIEW

In the absence of partnership deed, partner

a

shall be paid salaries

b

shall not be paid salaries

c

active partner shall be paid salaries

d

none of these

✓ Correct answer: b)

shall not be paid salaries

Explanation

Correct option: B – shall not be paid salaries

  • In the absence of a Partnership Deed, the provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 apply.

  • As per the Act, no partner is entitled to salary for taking part in the conduct of the business unless it is expressly agreed in the partnership deed.

  • Therefore, when there is no partnership deed, partners are not paid any salary.

Why other options are wrong?

Option A – shall be paid salaries

  • Salary to a partner is not automatic.

  • It is payable only if it is clearly mentioned in the partnership deed.

  • Hence, A is wrong.

Option C – active partner shall be paid salaries

  • Even an active (working) partner is not entitled to salary without an agreement.

  • So, C is also wrong.

Option D – none of these

  • Since Option B is correct, this option cannot be correct.

  • Therefore, D is wrong.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B – shall not be paid salaries.

Q2 FREE PREVIEW

At the time of admission of partner, Workmen Compensation Claim exceeding Compensation Fund is transferred to:

a

Debit of partner capital account

b

Credit of partner capital account

c

Debit of revaluation account

d

Credit of revaluation account

✓ Correct answer: c)

Debit of revaluation account

Explanation

At the time of admission of a partner, all increase in liabilities is recorded through the Revaluation Account. Workmen Compensation Fund already exists to meet expected claims. If the actual claim exceeds the existing fund, the excess amount represents an additional liability. Increase in liability is debited to Revaluation Account and credited to Workmen Compensation Claim Account. This ensures the adjustment is borne by old partners in their old profit-sharing ratio.

Therefore, the excess claim is transferred to the Debit of Revaluation Account.

Therefore, Option C is correct.
