Explanation / Answer
Barb and Ken received a guaranteed payment as Partners. Since the question does not mention the capital invested by the two or the loan given by them to the Partnership, it is safe to assume that this income is a dividend paid to Barb and Ken and can only be distributed from the profit after tax. Hence, this line item will occur after the ordinary income in the Partnership’s P&L. The ordinary income to the Partnership is $1,350,000. This includes income from operations, dividends received from Montreal-based corporation and interest on Sears bonds. The tax on the real estate is the only expense, which will be subtracted from total income.
Income from operations $ 1,050,000 Dividends from Montreal-based corporation $ 225,000 Interest on Sears bonds $ 125,000 Real estate taxes on property used for office $ (50,000) Total $ 1,350,000Related Questions
