Question

Doug and Kayla formed a partnership with capital contributions of $220,000 and $320,000, respectively. Their partnership agreement calls for Doug to receive a $52,000 per year salary. Also, each partner is to receive an interest allowance equal to 10% of a partner's beginning capital investments. The remaining income or loss is to be divided equally. If the net income for the current year is $116,000, then Doug and Kayla's respective shares are:

Answer 1

The correct answer is $79,000 and $37,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Net income = $116,000

Doug's Salary = $52,000

Receive an interest = 10%

So, the amount to be shared equally = [$116,000 - $52,000 - ( 10% × $220,000) - ( 10% × $320,000)] ÷ 2

= $5,000

So, Doug share = $52,000 + ( 10% × $220,000) + $5,000

= $79,000

Kayla share = (10% × $320,000) + $5,000 = $37,000
