141. Sharon and Nancy formed a partnership by making capital contributions of $130,000 and $195,000 respectively. They predict annual partnership income of $230,000 and are considering the following alternative plans of sharing income and loss: (a) in the ratio of their initial capital investments; or (b) salary allowances of $40,000 to Sharon and $35,000 to Nancy; interest allowances of 12% on their initial capital investments; and the balance shared equally. Assuming that both partners put about the same amount of time into the business, which method of allocating income would be best?

Plan Calculation Sharon Nancy Total
(a) $230,000 × ($130,000/$325,000) $92,000
$230,000 × ($195,000/$325,000) $138,000 $230,000
Total Allocated $92,000 $138,000 $230,000
(b) Net income $230,000
Salary allowances $40,000 $35,000 $(75,000)
Balance of income $155,000
Interest allowances
12% × $130,000 $15,600
12% × $195,000 $23,400
Total interest $(39,000)
Balance of income $116,000
Balance allocated equally $58,000 $58,000 $(116,000)
Balance of income $ –
Shares of partners $113,600 $116,400

Plan (b) would be the better distribution of income because it takes into account all factors and still allows a reasonable return on the initial investment.

143. Kramer and Feldman Company is organized as a partnership. At the prior year-end, Kramer’s equity balance was $352,000 and Feldman’s was $256,000. For the current year, partnership net income is $137,000 ($77,000 allocated to Kramer and $60,000 allocated to Feldman); withdrawals are $87,000 ($45,000 for Kramer and $42,000 for Feldman). Compute the total partnership return on equity and the individual partner return on equity ratios.

Total partnership return on equity = Net Income/Average equity
= $137,000/[($608,000 + $658,000)/2]
= $137,000/$633,000 = 21.6%

Kramer partner return on equity = Partner net income/Average partner equity
= $77,000/[($352,000 + $384,000)/2]
= $77,000/$368,000 = 20.9%

Feldman partner return on equity = Partner net income/Average partner equity
= $60,000/[($256,000 + $274,000)/2]
= $60,000/$265,000 = 22.6%

148. Mesner’s and Sanchez’s company is organized as a partnership. At the prior year-end, Mesner’s equity balance was $258,000 and Sanchez’s was $212,000. For the current year, partnership net income is $125,000 ($75,000 allocated to Mesner and $50,000 allocated to Sanchez); withdrawals are $77,000 ($40,000 for Mesner and $37,000 for Sanchez). Compute the total partnership return on equity and the individual partner return on equity ratios.

Total partnership return on equity = Net Income/Average equity
= $125,000/[($470,000 + $518,000)/2]
= $125,000/$494,000 = 25.3%

Mesner’s partner return on equity = Partner net income/Average partner equity
= $75,000/[($258,000 + $293,000)/2]
= $75,000/$275,500 = 27.2%

Sanchez’s partner return on equity = Partner net income/Average partner equity
= $50,000/[($212,000 + $225,000)/2]
