Question

The partnership agreement of Owens, Gehrig, and Nagurski provides for the following income ratio: (a) Owens, the managing partner, receives a salary allowance of $18,000, (b) each partner receives 15% interest on average capital investment, and (c) remaining net income or loss is divided equally. The average capital investments for the year were: Owens $100,000, Gehrig $200,000, and Nagurski $300,000. If partnership net income is $90,000, the amount distributed to Owens should be

Answer 1

Owens will get $18,000 + $12,000 = $30,000

Step-by-step explanation:

average capital investments:

• Owens $100,000
• Gehrig $200,000
• Nagurski $300,000

Net income = $90,000

Owens received a $18,000 salary

Remaining income = $72,000

interest on capital investment = $600,000 x 15% = $90,000

since $90,000 ≥ $72,000, profits must be allocated proportionally:

Owens = $72,000 x 1/6 = $12,000

Gehrig = $72,000 x 2/6 = $24,000

Nagurski = $72,000 x 3/6 = $36,000
