5. Annie and Alice invested $50,000 and $25,000 respec- tively in a business enterprise. During the first year of operation, the business had taxable income of $12,000. a. If the business is organized as a partnership, with profits and losses shared based on the proportion of each part- ner's original investment, how much of the income will each claim on her personal tax return? b.

The two owners decided to liquidate the business. What are the financial conse- quences of the dissolution of the business to each owner?
