On 1 January 2003; Hassan and Kamau entered into a joint venture to buy and sell goods. It was agreed that Hassan should receive a commission of 2% on all sales in consideration for which he was to bear all losses from bad debts. Profits and losses were to be shared equally.
The following transactions took place:
2 January 2003: Hassan purchased goods for Sh.680,000 paying Sh.480,000 in cash and accepted two bills of exchange, one for Sh.80,000 and the other for Sh.120,000.

9 January 2003: Hassan sold goods to Otieno for Sh.42,000 and to Wafula for Sh.25,000 and they accepted bills of exchange for the amounts respectively due from them. Hassan endorsed both bills to Kamau who discounted them incurring discounting charges of Sh.2,000.
3 February 2003: Hassan sold goods for Sh.180,000. On delivery, the customer rejected goods invoiced at Sh.9,000 and these goods were collected by Kamau who sold them to another customer for Sh.11,000.
11 Feb 2003: Otieno met his bill but Wafulas bill was dishonoured. Wafula could not meet his debt and it was written off as a bad debt.

On 30 April 2003, the venture was closed. Kamau took over the stock in his possession at a valuation of Sh.50,000 and the sum required to settle accounts between the venturers was paid by the relevant venturer.
