The option that is NOT typically used for determining the partners’ share of profit in a partnership is "Loans to the partnership".

Here's why:

1. Stated fraction or ratio: This is a common method where the partners agree on a specific fraction or ratio for dividing the profits. For example, if there are two partners, they might agree to split the profits 50/50, or 60/40, depending on their agreement.

2. Capital contributions: This method involves dividing the profits based on the proportion of capital each partner has contributed to the partnership. For example, if one partner contributed 70% of the capital and the other contributed 30%, the profits would be divided in the same ratio.

3. Capital contributions and service to the partnership: This is a combination of the above two methods. It takes into account both the capital contributed by each partner and the services they provide to the partnership. For example, a partner who contributed less capital but works more hours might receive a larger share of the profits.

4. Loans to the partnership: This is typically not a method used to determine profit sharing. A loan is a debt that the partnership must repay, usually with interest. It does not represent an ownership interest in the partnership, and therefore does not typically affect the division of profits.
