    Example 1 - Fixed Ratio


    Assume the partnership agreement of Olivia Tsang and David Breck is based on a ratio of 3:2. This
    means Tsang receives 60% and Breck receives 40%. If their partnership’s net income for the year ended
    December 31, 20—is $70,000, show the entry to close the Income Summary Account:

    Example 2 - Ratio based on beginning capital balances


    Tsang invested $30,000 and Breck invested $10,000. If the partnership’s net income is still $70,000,
    show the entry to close the Income Summary Account.

    Example 3 - Salaries, interest and remainder in a fixed ratio


    Tsang’s services are worth an annual salary of $36,000 and Breck’s experience is valued at $24,000. In
    order to make up for the difference in their capital contributions, the partners agree to interest allowances
    equal to 10% of each partner’s beginning of the year capital balance. Any remaining balance of income
    or loss is to be shared equally.

    ILLUSTRATION WHEN INCOME EXCEEDS ALLOWANCES:


    Tsang’s original capital investment is $30,000 and Breck’s is $10,000. The net income for the first year is
    $70,000.
