Coburn (beginning capital, $55,000) and Webb (beginning capital $95,000) are partners. During 2017, the partnership earned net income of $71,000, and Coburn made drawings of $17,000 while Webb made drawings of $25,000. Assume the partnership income-sharing agreement calls for income to be divided 30% to Coburn and 70% to Webb. Prepare the journal entry to record the allocation of net income.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Given that,

Beginning capital of Coburn = $55,000

Beginning capital of Webb = $95,000

Partnership earned net income = $71,000

Coburn made drawings = $17,000

Webb made drawings = $25,000

Income-sharing ratio = 30:70

Coburn's share in profits = Net income earned × 30%

                                          = $71,000 × 0.3

                                          = $21,300

Webb's share in profits = Net income earned × 30%

                                       = $71,000 × 0.7

                                       = $49,700

Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:

Profit and loss A/c  Dr. $71,000

          To Coburn's capital A/c      $21,300

           To Webb's capital A/c        $49,700
