How does producers make money?

I see Brahmāstra is produced by different people. First, I thought it was only produced by Ranbir Kapoor. The budget of the movie is 431 crore but the movie made like 400 crore. So how much did the producers made since there were different producers on it? Also, they had to pay actors lots of salary. There are other costs on it too. In general, how does the producers make profit and money if the movie is produced by different people? Because most films are not doing well now.

I would ask them, but I really don't care😆

What is a Partnership?

Whenever two or more people join hands with the same objective to achieve benefits. Each member contributes either time, cash, or licenses to enable the association firm to harvest benefits.

The partner who only invests money is called a Sleeping Partner and a partner who invests money and also manages the business is called the working partner. Some other important points associated with partnership are given below.

Types of Partnerships:

There are two types of partnership in the form of simple and compound partnerships. The details of both types of partnerships are given below.

• Simple Partnership

In Simple partnerships, all the resources are invested for the same time period by all the investors i.e. the capital (or other resources) stays in the business for the same duration. In this, the profit is distributed in proportion of their contributed resources.

Formula

If P and Q contributed Rs. a and b respectively for one year in business, then their profit or loss at that time will be:

P’s benefit (or misfortune) : Q’s profit(or misfortune) = a : b

• Compound Partnership

In a compound partnership, the money is invested during different periods of time by multiple investors. The benefit-sharing proportion is ascertained by duplicating the capital contributed with the unit of time (generally months).

Formula

P1 : P2 = C1 × T1 : C2 × T2

• P1 = Partner 1’s Profit.
• C1 = Partner 1’s Capital.
• T1 = Time period for which Partner 1 contributed his capital.
• P2 = Partner 2’s Profit.
• C2 = Partner 2’s Capital.
• T2 = Time period for which Partner 2 contributed his capital.

Important Formulas

1. When investments of all the partners are for the same time, the gain or loss is distributed among the partners in the ratio of their investments.

For example, A and B invest Rs. x and Rs. y respectively for a year in a business, then at the end of the year:

(A’s share of profit) : (B’s share of profit) = x : y.

2. When investments are for different time periods, then equivalent capitals are calculated for a unit of time by taking (capital x number of units of time). Now gain or loss is divided in the ratio of these capitals.

Suppose A invests Rs. x for p months and B invests Rs. y for q months then,

(A’s share of profit) : (B’s share of profit)= xp : yq.

Questions

1. Three partners shared the profit in a business in the ratio 5: 7 : 8. They had partnered for 14 months, 8 months, and 7 months respectively. What was the ratio of their investments?

A. 5: 7: 8

B. 20: 49: 64

C. 38: 28: 21

D. None of these

Ans. (B)

Explanation:

Let their investments be Rs. x for 14 months, Rs. y for 8 months, and Rs. z for 7 months respectively.

Then, 14x : 8y : 7z = 5 : 7 : 8.

Now, 14x/8y = 5/7 => 98x = 40y => y = 49/20 x

And, 14x/7z = 5/8 => 112x = 35z => z = 112/35 x = 16/5 .x.

So x : y : z = x : 49/20 x : 16/5 x = 20 : 49 : 64.

2. P, Q, and R enter into a partnership & their share are in the ratio of 1/2: 1/3: 1/4, after two months, P withdraws half of the capital & after 10 months, a profit of Rs 378 is divided among them. What is Q’s share?

A. 114

B. 120

C. 134

D. 144

Ans. (D)

Explanation :

The ratio of their initial investment = 1/2: 1/3: 1/4

= 6 : 4: 3

Let’s take the initial investment of P, Q and R as 6x, 4x and 3x respectively

A:B:C = (6x * 2 + 3x * 10) : 4x*12 : 3x*12

= (12+30) : 4*12 : 3*12

=(4+10) : 4*4 : 12

= 14 : 16 : 12

= 7 : 8 : 6

B’s share = 378 * (8/21) = 18 * 8 = 144

3. A, B, C subscribe to Rs. 50,000 for a business. A subscribes Rs. 4000 more than B and B Rs. 5000 more than C. Out of a total profit of Rs. 35,000, A receives:

A. Rs. 8400

B. Rs. 11,900

C. Rs. 13,600

D. Rs. 14,700

Ans (D)

Explanation:

Let C = x.

Then, B = x + 5000 and A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000.

So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000

=> 3x = 36000

=> x = 12000

A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12.

So A’s share = Rs. (35000 x 21/50) = Rs. 14,700.

4. 29. P, Q, R enter into a partnership. P initially invests 25 lakh & adds another 10 lakhs after one year. Q initially invests 35 lakh & withdrawal 10 lakh after 2 years and R invests Rs 30 Lakhs. In what ratio should the profit be divided at the end of 3 years?

A. 18:19:19

B. 18:18:19

C. 19:19:18

D. 18:19:19

Ans (C)

They take money from markit then show as becoming bankrupt and vanish

If the audience comes to watch their movie, they make profits.

Brahmāstra was Flop, so no one made Money.

Not exactly. It's not based off direct profits. For example SOTY was a hit on paper but no one made money. It's the other way around for Brahmastra. Obviously it's no top clean hit but it made some money.

They don't really do so by straightforward means. Most producers are broke. 98% of Odiawood for example is bankrupt and technically the industry does not really exist. Bollywood isn't that bad but it is difficult to be a producer.
