Jack and Jill plan to start a restaurant business together in the form of a partnership. Jack, a chef, will do most of the work (sweat equity) and provide minimal capital (cash equity), while Jill (who is rich and has business skills) will provide most of the capital and work only part-time doing back office business functions. The partners agreed that Jack and Jill will receive a monthly salary allowance of $5,000 and $1,000, respectively, to compensate them for their work.
