Question:

Veda Storey and Gordon Rogers have a partnership agreement with the following provisions for sharing profit or loss:

1. A salary allowance of $30,900 to Storey and $39,700 to Rogers

2. An interest allowance of 5% on capital balances at the beginning of the year

3. The remainder to be divided between Storey and Rogers on a 2:3 basis

Rogers drawings of $28,800.

a. Prepare an income statement for Storey Rogers Partnership for the year.

b. Prepare a schedule to show how the profit or loss will be allocated to the two partners.

c. Prepare a statement of partners’ equity for the year.

d. Prepare closing entries at December 31.
