Answer:
salary allowances of $83,600 to Mo, $62,700 to Lu, and $94,500 to Barb; interest allowances of 10% on their initial capital investments; and the balance shared as follows: 20% to Mo, 40% to Lu, and 40% to Barb.
net income $498,000, total distributions:
- Mo = $83,600 + (20% x $257,200) = $135,040
- Lu = $62,700 + (40% x $257,200) = $165,580
- Barb = $94,500 + (40% x $257,200) = $197,380
First we need to close Income Summary account to each partner's capital account:
December 31, 202x
Dr income summary 498,000
Cr Mo Meek, capital 135,040
Cr Lu Ling, capital 165,580
Cr Barb Beck, capital 197,380
then we close the drawings accounts to the capital accounts of each partner:
December 31, 202x
Dr Mo Meek, capital 39,300
Cr Mo Meek, drawings 39,300
Dr Lu Ling, capital 53,300
Cr Lu Ling, drawings 53,300
Dr Barb Beck, capital 69,300
Cr Barb Beck, drawings 69,300
