$                                              $                                              $

                Salary Allowance              61,000                                   49,000                                   110,000

                Remaining income 22,800                                   15,200                                   38,000

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                Net Income 83,800                                   64,200 148,000

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                Martin’s Remaining Income: ($148,000-$110,000)X3/5 = $ 22,800

                Ashley’s Remaining Income: ($148,000-$110,000)X2/5 = $ 15,200

C) If the net income of the LLC were less than the sum of the salary allowances, both members would still be credited with their salary allowances. From this amount, each partner would deduct his or her share of the excess of the total salary allowance over the net income. Thus, the difference between the net income and total salary allowances would be allocated to each partner as a deduction, according to the income-sharing ratio.
