ASSIGNMENT 1

Question 1 OVERVIEW

Mr Fish and Mr Sole have been friends since they played rugby on the same team at university more than ten years ago. After completing their studies, Mr Fish moved to Gansbaai and Mr Sole to Arniston, where both began small fishing business. They both operated as sole proprietors, owing small fishing vessels and selling the daily catch to local restaurants, hotels and butcheries. Both business have been reasonably profitable, but sales have been confined to their local coastal towns.

Formation of partnership

Over a year ago they entered into discussions regarding the possibility of combining their operations and expanding their sales to customer in other coastal towns. They felt that by combining their business they would be able to share their resources, knowledge and skills. As the saying goes, no one of us is as smart as all of us'. In order to ensure that their operation ran as efficiently as possible, they invited Mr Lobster, a recently qualified chartered accountant, to join their business.

Mr Lobster advised that the best way to run their business would be as a partnership, rather than by means of a company or close corporation. They decided to call the partnership Catching Something Fishy (‘CSF').

Partnership agreement

a) On 1 January 2010 a partnership agreement was drawn and CSF commenced trading. The partnership agreement stated the following:
b) Each partner will contribute R100 000 in cash.
c) Mr Fish and Mr Sole will each contribute their fishing vessels, valued at R50 000 each, to the partnership.
d) The partnership will use fixed capital accounts (this means that capital accounts will not change after the initial capital is contributed).
e) Profits and Losses will be shared equally amongst the 3 partners.
f) Mr Fish and Mr Sole are each entitled to receive a monthly salary of R5 000, WHILE Mr Lobster will receive a salary of R6 000 PER MONTH.
g) Mr Fish will make a loan to the partnership of R200 000 ON 1 January 2010. The loan will attract interest at a rate of 10% per annum (year). Interested will be paid in arrears on 31 December each year.
h) Interest of 2% per annum will be charged on capital account balances.

Admission of a new partner

In January 2017 Tharuna, Diana's neighbour, returned home after spending two years working for fashion house in Milan. Inspired to begin producing her own designs, she approached Diana and Nolothando and asked to join Fabulous Fashions. The Partners agreed and admitted Thaurana to the partnership on 1 January 2010, knowing that Thaurana would assist considerably in bringing their designs in line with overseas trends.

Nolothando was offered a job designing women's clothes at DKNI and Diana was offered a position in Zurich to work as a designer for the national soccer team. It was decided that the partnership would dissolve, by way of a simple dissolution on 31 December 2010, and that Tharuna would continue to run the business as a sole proprietor.

The debtors balance was recovered in full as it related to only one debtor who settled his account on 1 January 2011.
