# Dividing partnership incomeMorrison and Greene have decided to form a partnership. They have agreed that Morrison is to invest $150,000 and that Greene is to invest$50,000. Morrison is to devote one-half time to the business, and Greene is to devote full time. The following plans for the division of income are being considered: a. Equal division b. In the ratio of original investments c. In the ratio of time devoted to the business d. Interest of 6% on original investments and the remainder equally e. Interest of 6% on original investments, salary allowances of $40,000 to Morrison and$70,000 to Greene, and the remainder equally f. Plan (e), except that Greene is also to be allowed a bonus equal to 20% of the amount by which net income exceeds the total salary allowances InstructionsFor each plan, determine the division of the net income under each of the following assumptions: (1) net income of $115,000 and (2) net income of$200,000. Present the data in tabular form, using the following columnar headings:

To determine

Determine division of net income of $115,000 and$200,000 under different plans.

Explanation

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)
