Requirement 4
The partnership net income received by each partner would be same under given situation
II.d
Answer to Problem 15.18P
When the net income is $263,636 the income received by each partner will be $131,818
Explanation of Solution
To illustrate, assume that partnership net income is increased by $1,000
| H | S | Total | |
| Percentage of profit | 20% | 80% | 100% |
| Net income | 261,000 | ||
| 10% bonus to H $260,000 x .10 | 26,100 | (26,100) | |
| Salaries to partners | 90,000 | 70,000 | (160,000) |
| Residual income | 74,900 | ||
| Allocation 20%: 80% | 14,980 | 59,920 | (74,900) |
| Total | 131,080 | 129,920 | 0 |
The increase of $1,000 in net income resulted increase in H’s share by $280 (131,080 -130,800) and S’s share by $720 (129,920 -129,200) that means S share increased by $440 then H’s share ($720 - $280) or S receives 44% more than H in $1,000.
At the partnership income $260,000, H received $1,600 more net income than S (130,800 − 129,200)
When difference between these two incomes is divided by 44% we will get net required increase in net income where both the partners receive same share on income
Hence net increase in income required is $1,600 / .44 = $3,636
| H | S | Total | |
| Percentage of profit | 20% | 80% | 100% |
| Net income after increase of $3,636 | 263,636 | ||
| 10% bonus to H $260,000 x .10 | 26,363.6 | (26,363.6) | |
| Salaries to partners | 90,000 | 70,000 | (160,000) |
| Residual income | 77,272.4 | ||
| Allocation 20%: 80% | 15,454.5 | 61,878 | (77,272.4) |
