they would have to divide proportionally based on their salary allowances:

Ashley Clark = $46,000 / $104,000 = 44.23%

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin Farley Ashley Clark

salary allowance $58,000 $46,000

income sharing ratio 3 5

withdrawals $58,000 $46,000

revenues $668,000

expenses ($520,000)

net income $148,000

a. Determine the division of $148,000 net income for the year.

$148,000 net income - $58,000 - $46,000 = $44,000

$44,000:

Farley = $44,000 x 3/8 = $16,500

Clark = $44,000 x 5/8 = $27,500

net income:

Farley = $58,000 + $16,500 = $74,500

Clark = $46,000 + $27,500 = $73,500
