“But I intended to pay it all back, I really did,” Mr. J said as he talked to his manager. How did I ever get into this situation, he thought.
Two years ago, Mr. J received the promotion for which he had been working so hard for. In addition, Mr. J’s new manager told him that Mr. J had a very promising future at the company. Mr. J and his wife quickly purchased a new home. Not long after, Mr. J and Janae had their fourth child, and life was great. After having their fourth child, Janae quit work to spend more time with her kids.
Suddenly, things started to turn upside down. The economy took a downturn and had a negative impact on Mr. J’s company. His pay, which was based on commission, was reduced nearly 50 percent.

She has returned at an important time in the fiscal year: tax season. As she reviews the books for the period she was gone, she notices little anomalies which suggest that Blue Chip has been reporting much less income than they have actually made in the last two years.

- WHAT HAPPENS IF A PARTNER BECOMES INSOLVENT? In 2010, three dentists-Ben Rogers, Judy Wilkinson, and Henry Walker-formed a partnership to open a practice in Toledo, Ohio. The partnership's primary purpose was to reduce expenses by sharing building and equipment costs, supplies, and the services of a clerical staff. Each contributed $70,000 in cash and, with the help of a bank loan, constructed a building and acquired furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Because the partners maintained their own separate clients, annual net income has been allocated as follows: Each partner receives the specific amount of revenues that he or she generated during the period less one-third of all expenses. From the beginning, the partners did not anticipate expansion of the practice; consequently, they could withdraw cash each year up to 90 percent of their share of income for the period.
