Statement of Profit or Loss (Cambridge (CIE) IGCSE Accounting): Revision Note
Exam code: 0452 & 0985
Statements of profit or loss for partnerships
What is the layout of the statement of profit or loss of a partnership?
The statement of profit or loss for a partnership is very similar to that for a sole trader
The statement of profit or loss for a partnership will have one new addition, for the interest on a partner’s loan
A partner may choose to lend money to the partnership
If this is the case, interest on the loan is a finance cost and an expense to the business
The following do not appear on the statement of profit or loss
Interest on partners' capital
Interest on partners' drawings
Partners' salaries
You may have to make adjustments to a statement of profit or loss
This is the same idea as when preparing a statement of profit or loss for a sole trader

Deal with the additional information.
Depreciate the machinery and equipment at 20% per year using the straight-line method
Find the year's depreciation by multiplying the cost by 20%
$52 000 × 20% = $10 400
On 1 July 2022, Pan loaned $5 000 to the partnership with loan interest at 5% per annum
Find the year's interest by multiplying the loan amount by 5%
$5 000 × 5% = $250
Pan is to receive an annual partnership salary of $12 000
This does not affect the statement of profit or loss
Remaining profits and losses are shared as follows: Tan ⅔, Pam ⅓
This does not affect the statement of profit or loss
5% interest is allowed on partners’ capital accounts
This does not affect the statement of profit or loss
10% interest is charged on partners’ drawings
This does not affect the statement of profit or loss
Prepare the statement of profit or loss using the required format
Note that it is a service business so will not have a trading section
