In 2004, Gauldin and Corn entered into a partnership for the purpose of raising cattle and hogs. The two men were to share equally all costs, labor, losses, and profits. The business was started on land owned initially by Corn’s parents but later acquired by Corn and his wife. No rent was ever requested or paid for use of the land. Partnership funds were used to bulldoze and clear the land, to repair and build fences, and to seed and fertilize the land. In 2008, at a cost of $2,487.50, a machine shed was built on the land. In 2013, a Cargill unit was built on the land at a cost of $8,000. When the partnership dissolved in 2014, Gauldin paid Corn $7,500 for the “removable” assets; however, the two had no agreement regarding the distribution of the barn and the Cargill unit. Is Gauldin entitled to one-half of the value of the two buildings? Explain.
