Net income of $11,000 is earned by the business during 2019.

 

Steele is invited to join the partnership on January 1, 2020. Because of her business reputation and financial expertise, she is given a 40 percent interest for $54,000 cash.

Gorman 13.5 %
Morton 40.5  
Steele 36.0

For the year of 2021, the partnership earned a profit of $40,000, and each partner withdrew the allowed amount of cash.
