Jack and Bernard had $96,000 and $87,000, respectively, in their January 1 capital balances. Net income for the year was $303,000. How much is distributed to Jack and Bernard?

Answer 1

Answer:

$216,570; $89,430

Explanation:

Jack:

Interest amount = 7% × $96,000

                           = $6,720

Bernard:

Interest amount = 7% × $87,000

                           = $6,090

Overall profit = Net income - salary - interest amount

                      = $303,000 - $169,680 - ( $6,720 + $6,090)

                      = $303,000 - $169,680 - $12,810

                      = $120,510

Profit is divided in a 1:2 ratio among Jack and Bernard:

Jack's profit = $120,510 × (1/3)

                    = $40,170

Bernard's profit = $120,510 × (2/3)

                          = $80,340

Net income should be distributed to Jack:

= salary + Interest + profit

= $169,680 + $6,720 + $40,170

= $216,570

Net income should be distributed to Bernard:

= Interest + profit

= $6,090 +$80,340

= $89,430
