This document provides examples of calculating surplus capital for various partnership scenarios. It shows how to prepare statements of surplus capital by taking the capital of each partner as the base to distribute any excess amounts. For the first example, the statement shows Partner C has a first surplus of Rs. 10,000 and Partners B and C have second surpluses of Rs. 30,000 and Rs. 40,000 respectively. The document then provides multiple additional examples of calculating surplus capital in different partner situations.
