1. An existing partnership contract is a partnership where all partners mutually agreed to the
admission of all existing partners. No one is a partner without the consent of each of the
partners. It is also under the principle of the doctrine of delectus personae that nobody from
the partners may admit an individual as a partner without the knowledge and approval of
the others. This means that every partners have a right to choose whom they want to be
associated with in the partnership. Article 1804 states that a partner who lets a person buy
his interest or share is not a partner if not consented by all partners, he is merely a sub-
partner only associated with the selling partner and not by the partnership.
2.
A. The money contributed by partners which is of total of P3, 000 shall be made in a public
instrument and must be registered with SEC as provided by Article 1772. Though D
and G made the contract orally, it does not affect their liability as to third persons, in
the above case, to W. The latter may demand payment from any of the partners.
3.
A. XYZ Partnership will own the assets contributed and not by the individual partners. In a
Universal partnership of all present properties, all of the present properties owned by the
partners at the time of the establishment of the partnership becomes the common
properties of the partners. Thus, the individuals’ assets will become the common
properties of the partners.
B. In a universal partnership of all present properties, under Article 1779, not only the present
properties will be acquired under the name of the partnership but the profits and fruits as
well that may be acquired from the said present properties during the time of the existence
of the partnership. The purpose of the contribution of the present properties is to divide
the profits/fruits that may be derived during the operation of the partnership.
C. Y will retain the ownership of the building because the law prohibits the contribution of
future properties by inheritance, legacy and donation. However, the fruits thereof belongs
to the partnership, if stipulated. Therefore, the properties belonging to the partnership are
as follows: specific land, specific building, specific car, and profits or fruits that may be
derived from the three aforementioned properties, but the partnership will not acquire the
100 square meters of lot because it is a property by inheritance which is protected by law.
The fruits or profits from the lot will belong to the partnership, if stipulated in the contract.

Problem 1.
Ted (100, 000 x 40%) = 40, 000
Ronald (100, 000 x 30%) = 30, 000
Geno (100, 000 x 30%) = 30, 000
Problem 2.
According to the partners’ capital contribution
Ted (100,000 x 3/9) = 33, 333.33
Ronald (100, 000 x 3/9) = 33,333.33
Geno (100, 000 x 3/9) = 33,333.33
Problem 3.
The industrial partner will receive just and equitable share in the partnership profits under
circumstances. The remaining profits will be divided among the capitalist partners according to
their profit distribution agreement.

profits as basis in sharing the partnership losses. Ted, therefore, will share 40% and 30% both to
Ronald and Geno, however, the industrial partner shall not be liable for the losses as the law
prohibits the industrial partners from sharing of losses.
Supposed the 100, 000 is a loss resulting from operations of the partnership, the following
members shall bear losses of:
Ted (100, 000 x 40%) = 40, 000
Ronald (100, 000 x 30%) = 30, 000
Geno (100, 000 x 30%) = 30, 000
The new partner, as an industrial partner shall not bear a share in the losses as provided by
law.

1. No. The law clearly states that a stock becomes delinquent only upon failure of payment
of the unpaid balance within 30 days from the date specified in the contract or the date
called by the Board of Directors. Hence, the majority of the corporation cannot declare
removal of the rights as well as the position of the incumbent director. The disposition of
the director’s right as a stockholder and his position will commence, if he does not pay his
unpaid subscription within 30 days from its due date and the sole right left to him is the
right to dividends (contrary to the claims of BOD) and it may be subject to offset for his
unpaid balance.

though his subscription is not yet fully paid. The law requires subscribers to pay at least

when provided under the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws. The members are, in general
rule, not entitled to capital distribution.

purpose for which it was established- to engage in charitable programs for victims of

as the corporation formed is one in a form allowed in a nonstock corporation. His claim to

Articles of Incorporation, if provided. However, the assets of the corporation can only be
distributed by following the order of distribution of assets for which distribution to
members is the least prioritized.
