Rivera and Sampson have also started another contracting company and have cash flow needs, which require periodic distributions from the partnership. In order to deal fairly with the level of part- nership withdrawals, the partnership agreement calls for profit sharing as follows: Component Salaries... Bonus on income after the bonus. Interest on "average net capital" Percentage of remaining profits.

Activity in the drawing and capital accounts is as follows for the current calendar year: Drawing Account Beginning balance January 1 March 31 draws. June 30 draws... September 30 draws.
