A. $633,334
B. $466,666
C. $300,000
D. $190,000

Answer 1

C. $300,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Shue Capital Account:

contribution 50,000

partnership income x 30%

withdrawals (240,000)

change in capital account (100,000)

50,000 + Shue profits - 240,000 = -100,000

Shue profit = 240,000 - 100,000 - 50,000

Shue profit = 90,000

Partnership profit:

90,000 / 0.30 = 300,000
