Question

E-12-4)Dariah and Farrah began a partnership by investing $64,000 and $58,000 respectively. During its first year, the partnership earned $175,000 income should be allocated to the partners under each of the following three separate plans for sharing income and loss: (1) the partners failed to agree on a method to share income; (2) the partners agreed to share income and loss in proportion to their initial investments ( round amounts to the nearest dollar); and (3) the partners agreed to share income by granting a $52,000 per yer salary allowance to Daria , a $42,000 per year salary allowance to Farrah , 8% interest on their initial capital investments, and the remaining balance shared equally.

E-12-5
Assume that the partners of exercise 12-4 agreed to share net income and loss by granting annual salary allowances of $52,000 to Daria and $42,000 to Farrah, 8% interest allowances on their investments, and any remaining balance shared equally.
1- Determine the partners' shares of Daria and Farrah given a first year net income of $98,800.
2- Determine the partners' share of Daria and Farrah given a first year net loss of $16,800.

Explanation / Answer

(1) the partners failed to agree on a method to share income;
      Dariah 1/2 of $175,000       = $87,500
      Farah   1/2 of $175,000       = $87,500
    In absence of method to share income should be distributed equally.

(2) the partners agreed to share income and loss in proportion to their initial investments ( round amounts to the nearest dollar);

Initial Investment proportion = $64,000 : $58,000
                                           = 64 : 58
Dariah share 64/(64+58) = 64 / 122 $175,000 x 64/122 = $91,803
Farah share 58/(64+58) = 58 / 122   $175,000 x 58/122 = $83,197

(3) the partners agreed to share income by granting a $52,000 per yer salary allowance to Daria , a $42,000 per year salary allowance to Farrah , 8% interest on their initial capital investments, and the remaining balance shared equally.
Income before salary & interest             $175,000
Less : Salary to Dariah     $52,000
          Salary to Farah       $42,000          $94,000
                                                             $81,000
Less : Interest on capital
          Dariah $64,000 x 8%     $5,120
          Farah   58,000 x 8%      $4,640         $9,760
Balance to be shared equally                      $71,240
Dariah 1/2 of $71,240          $35,620
Farah 1/2 of $71,240         $35,620
