• The organization must intend to make profit.
• Agreement to sharing of profits and losses among the partners.
• Management of business.
• Oral or written agreement.
If there is any change in the partnership terms then it must be amended.
Conclusion:
In this case, both of them are entitled to receive equal salary. Hence, A cannot receive additional salary from the partnership firm without changing the partnership agreement. Therefore, the action of A was not valid.

YOU BE THE JUDGE WRITING PROBLEM Herbert, an artist, entered into an agreement with Randy for the reproduction and distribution of his paintings. Herbert was to receive 50 percent of the gross sales revenues. Randy was responsible for all losses and for management of the business. Before leaving on a trip to Israel, where he feared he might be in some danger, Randy signed a partnership agreement with Herbert stating that they jointly owned the business. Shortly after Randy returned from the trip, the two men terminated their business relationship, and Herbert revoked his authorization for the sale of prints. When Randy continued selling the prints, Herbert filed suit. Randy argued that the two had formed a partnership and that he was authorized to sell assets of the partnership. Were Herbert and Randy partners? Argument for Herbert: A partnership agreement does not create a partnership. Randy alone managed the business. Herbert shared only revenues, not profits or losses. Argument for Randy: Herbert and Randy both provided services to the business: Randy paid for the printing, and Herbert did the artwork. These two men signed a partnership agreement, and they obviously intended to be partners.
