The SRT partnership agreement specifies that partnership net income be allocated as follows:

Partner S Partner R Partner T
Salary allowance $20,000 $25,000 $15,000
Interest on average capital balance 10% 10% 10%
Remainder 30% 30% 40%

Average capital balances for the current year were $60,000 for S, $50,000 for R, and $40,000 for T.

Refer to the information given. Assuming a current year net income of $125,000, what amount should be allocated to each partner?
Partner S Partner R Partner T
A. $15,000 $15,000 $20,000
B. $37,500 $37,500 $50,000
C. $41,000 $45,000 $39,000
D. $42,000 $48,000 $35,000

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Partner S:

Salary allowance = $20,000

Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 60,000

                                                            = $6,000

Average capital balances for the current year = $60,000

Remainder = 30% of 50,000

                   = $15,000

Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

                                                = $20,000 + $6,000 + $15,000

                                                = $41,000

Partner R:

Salary allowance = $25,000

Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 50,000

                                                            = $5,000

Average capital balances for the current year = $50,000

Remainder = 30% of 50,000

                  = $15,000

Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

                                                = $25,000 + $5,000 + $15,000

                                                = $45,000

Partner T:

Salary allowance = $15,000

Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 40,000

                                                            = $4,000

Average capital balances for the current year = $40,000

Current year net income = $125,000

Remainder = 40% of 50,000

                  = $20,000

Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

                                                = $15,000 + $4,000 + $20,000

                                                = $39,000

Workings:

Salary allowed = $20,000 + $25,000 + $15,000

                         = $60,000

Interest on average capital balance = $6,000 + $5,000 + $4,000

                                                            = $15,000

Total = Salary allowed  + Interest on average capital balance

        = $60,000 + $15,000

        = $75,000

Remainder = Current year net income - Total

                  = $125,000 - $75,000

                  = $50,000
