Expert Solution
To determine

Partnership

It is that form of organization which is owned and managed by two or more persons who invest and share the profits and losses according to a pre-determined ratio.

To determine: The division of net income of $115,000 and$200,000 under different plans.

### Explanation of Solution

Working Notes for determining the division of net income between partner M and G under different plans:

 Net Income           $1,15,000 Net Income$2,00,000 M G M G Plan (a) Income sharing ratio under this plan is equal. So, the ratio is 1:1 Distribution of Net Income (1:1) $57,500$57,500 $100,000$100,000 Plan (b) Income sharing ratio under this plan is the ratio of original investment by M and G i.e. $1, 50,000 &$50,000 respectively. So, the ratio is 3:1 Distribution of Net Income (3:1) $86,250$28,750 $150,000$50,000 Plan (c) Income sharing ratio under this plan is the ratio of time devoted by M and G i.e. 1/2 time & full time respectively. So, the ratio is 1:2 Distribution of Net Income (1:2) $38,333$76,667 $66,667$133,333 Plan (d) Interest allowance (1) $9,000$3,000 $9,000$3,000 Income sharing ratio under this plan is equal. Any income left after allowing interest on capital will be distributed equally. So, the income sharing ratio is 1:1 Remaining Income (1:1) $51,500$51,500 $94,000$94,000 Net Income $60,500$54,500 $103,000$97,000 Plan (e) Interest allowance (1) $9,000$3,000 $9,000$3,000 Salary allowance $40,000$70,000 $40,000$70,000 Any excess income or loss left after deducting interest and salary allowance will distributed among partners equally. So, the income or loss sharing ratio is 1:1 Excess allowance over income (1:1) (2) -$3,500 -$3,500 Remaining Income (1:1) $39,000$39,000 Net Income $45,500$69,500 $88,000$112,000 Plan (f) Interest allowance (1) $9,000$3,000 $9,000$3,000 Salary allowance $40,000$70,000 $40,000$70,000 Bonus allowance (4) $1,000$18,000 Any excess income or loss left after deducting interest and salary allowance will distributed among partners equally. So, the income or loss sharing ratio is 1:1 Excess allowance over income (1:1) (3) -$4,000 -$4,000 Remaining Income (1:1) $30,000$30,000 Net Income $45,000$70,000 $79,000$121,000

Table (2)

Calculation of Interest Allowances(1)

InterestAllowance=(Capitalbalance×6100)

Share of M:

InterestAllowance ofM}=($150,000×6100)=$9,000

Share of G:

InterestAllowance ofG}=($50,000×6100)=$6,000

Calculation of Excess Allowances

ExcessAllowance=(Totalinterest+TotalSalary+Bonus-NetIncome)

Plan (e) - (2)

ExcessAllowance=($12,000+$110,000-\$115,000)=<
