Question

Candace Hassell and Abby Lawson formed a partnership, investing $477,000 and $159,000, respectively. Determine their participation in the year's net income of $294,000 under each of the following independent assumptions: No agreement concerning division of net income. Divided in the ratio of original capital investment. Interest at the rate of 18% allowed on original investments and the remainder divided in the ratio of 2:3. Salary allowances of $101,000 and $139,000, respectively, and the balance divided equally. Allowance of interest at the rate of 18%pn original investments, salary allowances of $101,000 and $139,000, respectively, and the remainder divided equally. Set up a column for each partner and a total column. Determine the distribution of income and losses in the absence of a partnership agreement. Use the ratio of the partner's original capital investment to distribute the net income.

Explanation / Answer

a)In case of no agreement Income is distributed equally .

Hasselll = 147000        [294000/2]

Lawson = 147000

b)Total capital = 477000+159000=636000

Hassell = 294000 * 477000/636000 = 220500

Lawson = 294000*159000/636000 = 73500

c) Remaining Income after interest = 294000 -(636000*18%) = 294000- 114480= 179520

Hassell = (179520 * 2/5) + (477000*.18)

        = 71808+ 85860= 157668

Lawson = (179520*3/5 )+(159000*.18)

             = 107712+ 28620   = 136332

d)Total salary = 101000+139000=240000

Remaining income = 294000-240000 = 54000

Hasell = (54000/2) +101000 = 128000

Lawson = (54000/2) + 139000= 166000

e)Income after salary and interest = 294000-240000-114480 = -60480

Hassell = 85860 + 101000+ (-60480/2)

           = 156620

lAWson = 28620 + 139000+ (-60480/2)

           = 137380
