Answer 1

Answer:

The Preparation of statement of partners’ equity is shown below

Explanation:

The preparation of statement of partners’ equity is shown below:-

                                          Mike         Rachel

Beginning equity                $40,000    $60,000

Salary allowance                    $5,000      $9,000

Interest allowance                 $4,000      $6,000

Share of remaining net income $3,000     $3,000

Drawings                             -$1,000      -$1,000

Ending equity                             $51,000     $77,000

Working Note

Interest allowance for Mike = $40,000 × 10%

= $4,000

Interest allowance for Rachel = $60,000 × 10%

= $6,000

Remaining share of net income after salary allowance and interest allowance = Net income - Salary allowance - Interest allowance

= $30,000 - $5,000 - $9,000 - $4,000 - $6,000

= $6,000

Mike's share of remaining income = $6,000 × 50%

= $3,000

Rachel's share of remaining income = $6,000 × 50%

= $3,000
