Distribution of profits: When a group of people work together to make money, they need to decide how to share that money fairly. This is called the distribution of profits. For example, if a group of friends start a lemonade stand and make $10, they might agree to split the money equally, with each friend getting $2.50. In a bigger business, like a company or partnership, there is usually a written agreement that outlines how the profits will be shared among the members or employees.
Distribution of profits refers to the allocation of profits among partners of a partnership, members of a Limited Liability Company (LLC), or employees in a company, according to the terms specified in a profit-sharing agreement.
These examples illustrate how profits can be distributed among partners, members, or employees based on the terms outlined in a profit-sharing agreement. The distribution of profits can be equal or based on ownership percentage, salary, or years of service.
