Allocation of Partnership Net Income for 2008:

                                        D             E              F                Total

Net income                                                                    $130,000

Salaries                      $25,000  $20,000  $15,000      (60,000)

Remainder                  34,200       17,100      5,700       (57,000)

Total allocation        $72,200    $37,100  $20,700    $130,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 = $130,000

Order of distribution of partnership profits and losses:

                                        D             E              F

Salaries                   $25,000  $20,000  $15,000

Bonus on net income  10%          -----           -----

Remainder                  60%         30%           10%

Bonus on net income = $13,000 ($130,000 * 10%)

Remainder after salaries and bonus = $57,000 ($130,000 - $73,000)

D = $34,200 ($57,000 * 60%)

E = $17,100 ($57,000 * 30%)

F = $5,700  ($57,000 * 10%)
