Profit Ratio For Sleeping Partner
Why is the profit ratio for a sleeping partner not allowed to exceed his investment ratio in a joint venture contract?
The wisdom behind such rulings may encompass several explanations; however one explanation may be that limiting the ratio of the sleeping partner ensures that one party is not overly rewarded for the mere provision of capital, while work may be rewarded with an increase commensurate with the amount of work done.
