Fred and barney started a partnership. fred invested $20,000 in the business and barney invested $32,000. the partnership agreement stipulated that profits would be divided as follows: each partner would receive a 15% return on invested capital with the remaining income being distributed equally between the two partners. assuming that the partnership earned $38,000 during an accounting period, the amount of income assigned to the two partners would be:

The amount of income assigned to the two partners would be $18,100 and $19,900 respectively.

Explanation:

For computing the amount of income assigned to the two partners, we have to do the following calculations which are shown below:

1. Dividend amount for each partner:

For Fred = Invested amount × rate of return

              = $20,000 × 15%

              =$3,000

For Barney =  Invested amount × rate of return

                  = $32,000 × 15%

                  = $4,800

The total dividend amount equals to

= Fred dividend + barney dividend

= $3,000 + $4,800

= $7,800

2. Now compute the remaining amount, and divide it in the sharing ratio

So, the remaining amount would be

= Partnership income - total dividend amount

= $38,000 - $7,800

= $30,200

So the Fred income would be = $30,200 × 50% = $15,100

And, the barney income would be = $30,200 × 50% = $15,100

So, the amount of income:

For Fred = Dividend income + remaining income

              = $3,000 + $15,100

              = $18,100

For Barney = Dividend income + remaining income

                   =$4,800 + $15,100

                   = $19,900

Hence, the amount of income assigned to the two partners would be $18,100 and $19,900 respectively.
