If there is no partnership deed (partnership agreement), what is the rule for distributing profits among partners?

Correct answer: Profits are shared equally

In absence of a deed, profits (and losses) are shared equally among partners — this is the default rule. Option B would apply only if the deed specifies sharing in proportion to capital. Option C is relevant when the agreement provides for partner salaries or reward for services. Option D is incorrect because drawings are not the basis for profit sharing by default. Exam tip: Memorize default partnership rules — equal sharing of profits unless the deed states otherwise, and no automatic interest or salary to partners unless agreed.
