Answer:

• Lisa $16,611

• Marie $15,070

• Shelley $8,391

• George $9,933

Step-by-step explanation:

Daily allocation of $50,000 net reported net income

= $50,000/365

= $137 per day

• Income allocated to Lisa would be ;

Since Lisa and Marie are equal shareholders; meaning both would have 50% stake each in the business. Moreover, since Lisa sold half of her stake I.e 50% ÷ 2 = 25% to Shelley, her share would be;

(50% × 120 × 137) + (25% × 245 × 137) = $16,611

° Note Jan 1 to April 30 is 120 days, while the balance is 365 days - 120 days hence 245 days

• Income allocated to Marie would be;

Since Marie have 50% stake in the business and also sold her entire interest to George, her share will be;

50% × 220 × 137 = $15,070

°Note Jan 1 to August 8 is 220 days

• Income allocated to Shelley would be;

Since Shelly bought 25% out of the 50% stake that Lisa have in the business, her share will be;

25% × 245 × 137 = $8,391

°Note 245 days will be applied to Shelly's share which represent the number of days she purchased part of Lisa's interest in the business. I.e. 365 days - 120 days = 245 days

• Income allocated to George would be;

Since George purchased the whole 50% of Marie's stake in the business, his share of profit will be;

50% × 145 × 137 = $9,933

° Note 145 days will also be applied to George which represent the balance of days with which he purchased Marie's whole stake in the business. I.e 365 days - 220 days = 145 days
