Respuesta :

Answer:

$55,800  and $14,200

Explanation:

The computation of the distribution of the net income is presented below:

Particulars                                  Chen             Martin             Total

Opening capital balance           $90,000      $140,000         $230,000

Annual salary allowance (A)    $35,000                                $35,000

Interest @4% on

opening capital  (B)                   $3,600         $5,600            $9,200

Remaining income (C)              $17,200         $8,600            $25,800

Net income (A + B + C)           $55,800        $14,200          $70,000

The remaining income would be

= $70,000 - $35,000 - $9,200

= $25,800

And, the remaining income is divided between the partners in 2:1 ratio
