2-6 question

Certainly! Let's go through each question step by step.

2. A.

i. If the partnership agreement remained silent concerning income sharing method, the income would
be allocated equally between Alex and Blen. Each would receive $30,000 (60,000/2).

ii. If the partners agree to share income in the ratio of original capital investments, then the ratio would
be 78,000:52,000, which simplifies to 3:2. Alex would receive $36,000 (60,000 * 3/5) and Blen would
receive $24,000 (60,000 * 2/5).
iii. If the partners agree to share income by allowing first yearly salary of $12,000 to Blen and $18,000 to
Alex, then 10% interest on original capital balance of each partner, and finally the remainder equally, the
calculation would be:

- Blen: 12,000 (salary) + 7,800 (10% of 78,000) = 19,800

- Alex: 18,000 (salary) + 5,200 (10% of 52,000) = 23,200

- Remaining income: 60,000 - (19,800 + 23,200) = 17,000

- This remaining income would be divided equally, so each would receive 8,500.

B.

Under the three income-sharing assumptions:

i. If the partnership incurred a $20,000 loss, it would be equally shared by Alex and Blen.

ii. IfSince you have provided a list of questions, I will help you address them one by one.

2A.

i. If the partnership agreement remained silent concerning income sharing method, the income would
be shared equally between Alex and Blen, as there are no specific instructions for any other distribution
method.

ii. If the partners agree to share income in the ratio of original capital investments, the income would be
allocated in the ratio of their initial investments, which is 78,000:52,000 or 3:2 for Alex and Blen,
respectively.

iii. If the partners agree to share income as per the following method:

- First, yearly salary of Br.12,000 to Blen and Br.18,000 to Alex,

- Then, 10% interest on original capital balance of each partner,

- Finally, the remainder is shared equally

The income would be allocated accordingly.

2B. The participation of Alex and Blen in the loss during the second year of operation would be
determined according to each of the three income-sharing assumptions listed in "a" above.
3. To determine the amount and recipient of the partner bonus when Rodriguez contributes $360,000 to
receive a 60% interest in a new partnership with Bellows, we can calculate the bonus using the bonus
method formula and determine the recipient based on the partnership agreement.

4. Similarly, to determine the amount and recipient of the partner bonus when Marone contributes
$25,000 to receive a 40% interest in a new partnership with Hiro, we can use the bonus method formula
and determine the recipient based on the partnership agreement.

5. When Cheng sells one-third of her interest to Michael Cross, we will need to prepare the journal entry
required by the partnership for both scenarios of the sales price being $60,000 and $80,000.

6.

a) To determine the recipient and amount of the partner bonus when Valeria Solano is admitted to the
partnership at a 30% interest for a purchase price of $30,000, we can use the bonus method formula.

b) To provide the journal entry to admit Solano into the partnership, we will need to record the
transaction according to the partnership agreement and accounting principles.

c) A bonus would be paid in this situation to properly compensate the existing partners for their existing
capital account balances and to maintain fairness in the distribution of profits and losses.
