Answer 1

If i understand your question properly, you want to determine how much each partner wiil have based on the sharing ratio.

Answer:

Alex- $40,000

Brad- $30,000

Carl- $30,000

Explanation:

For a net loss of $100,000 shared between partners in the ratio 4:3:3, the value of each partner's ratio can be calculated as seen below.

Step 1: Add the ratios

i.e; 4 + 3 + 3 = 10

Step 2: Calculate the value of each ratio in $100,000 using te formula

(ratio value ÷ total ratio) × $100,000

For Alex, we have

(4 ÷ 10) × $100,000

= 0.4 × $100,000

= $40,000

For Brad, we have

(3 ÷ 10) × $100,000

= 0.3 × $100,000

= $30,000

For Carl, we have

(3 ÷ 10) × $100,000

= 0.3 × $100,000

= $30,000

N.B: To confirm if the value of each ratio is correct, you can add up the values to see if it makes $100,000. If it doesn't, then the calculatio is wrong.

Adding the value of the ratios, we have $40,000 + $30,000 + $30,000 = $100,000.

i hope this helps
