Answer:

A. $17,000 $21,000 $7,000

Explanation:

From the income, we will subtract the salaries and interest, this will give us the amount to distribute among the partner

net income            45,000

salaries                 (60,000)  (20,000 + 25,000 + 15,000)

interest                 (15, 000)  (60,000 + 50,000 + 40,000) x 10%

net loss                (30,000)

Each partner will receive his salary and capital interest, and proportion of the remainder

Allocate to S

20,000 + 6,000 - 9,000 = 17,000

Allocate to R

25,000 + 5,000 - 9,000 = 21,000

Allocate to T

15,000 + 4,000 - 12,000 =   7,000
