Answer 1

Answer:

Suzy and Bobby Partnership

The total loss to be allocated to Suzy and Bobby is:

= $49,800.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Capital contributions:

Suzy = $70,000

Bobby = $40,000

Revenue earned = $181,000

Expenses incurred  187,000

Net loss =                 $6,000

Drawings by partners:

Bobby = $10,000

Suzy = $12,000

Profit sharing:

                                    Suzy          Bobby  Total Profit

Interest on capital       $5,600     $3,200      ($8,800)

Salary allowance         20,000      15,000     (35,000)

Net loss                         4,286          1,714        (6,000)

Total loss for each   $29,886     $19,914     $49,800

Net Loss:

Suzy = 5/7 * $6,000 =  $4,286

Bobby = 2/7 * $6,000 = $1,714

Total net loss =            $6,000

Interest on capital:

Suzy = 8% * $70,000 = $5,600

Bobby = 8% * $40,000 = $3,200
