How To make Transaction (Share Of Profit) ?
Understanding Share of Profit Allocation
- The "Share of Profit" transaction does not involve any Cash or Bank account. It is solely used to allocate profit to partners.
- When this transaction is recorded, the amount is deducted from Retained Earnings and added to the Capital Account of each partner.
- If a partner wants to withdraw their share of profit, a separate "Drawings" transaction must be recorded.
- If a partner chooses to reinvest their profit into the business, no additional entry is required, as the profit is already added to their Capital Account.
📌 Key Point: Share of Profit is only an allocation entry, while actual withdrawals require a separate transaction under Drawings.
