Question

Teri, Doug, and Brian are partners with capital balances of $20,000, $30,000, and $50,000, respectively. They share income and losses in the ratio of 3:2:1. Revenue accounts for the period total $350,000. Expense accounts for the period total $380,000. The revenue and expense accounts are closed to the capital accounts. Doug withdraws from the partnership. How much cash does he receive upon withdrawal?

Answer 1

Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

For computing the Doug withdrawal amount, first, we have to compute the net income or net loss which is shown below:

Net income/loss = Revenue - expense

                           = $350,000 - $380,000

                            = -$30,000

Now Doug share in net loss = Net loss × (his share ÷ total share)

                                               =  - $30,000 × (2 ÷ 6)

                                               =  - $10,000

We knew that the Doug capital is $30,000 and his share in loss is $10,000

So, its withdrawal amount = $30,000 - $10,000 = $20,000
