Question

Kramer and Knox began a partnership by investing $60,000 and $80,000, respectively. Assume that the partners agreed to share net income and loss by granting annual salary allowances of $50,000 to Kramer and $40,000 to Knox, 10% interest allowances on their investments, and any remaining balance shared equally.

1. Determine the partners' shares of Kramer and Knox given a first-year net income of $98,800. (Losses and amounts to be deducted should be entered with a minus sign.)
2. Determine the partners' shares of Kramer and Knox given a first-year net loss of $16,800. (Losses and amounts to be deducted should be entered with a minus sign.)

Answer 1

1. $53.4 for Kramer and $45.5 for Knox

2. -$4.4 for Kramer and -$12.4 for Knox

Step-by-step explanation:

Partner’s agreement before dividing profit or loss is to grant salaries and 10% interest to the partners. In effect, this agreement will be followed whether the partnership incurs profit or losses for the period. First, all salaries should be given to the partners and the 10% interest as well. Any excess whether profit of loss will be divided equally by the partners. Computation of division of profit or loss are attached for proper demostration.
