Explanation / Answer

1. False, the partnership is not a legal entity, but for taxation purpose we can treated a legal entity.

2. True, Partnership is the combination of persons, known as partners agree to cooperate to advance their mutual interest, each partner has capital account and withdrawal account because the share of contribution may be different and profit sharing can also be different from each partners so by end of the day we need to know the individual balances so we need to maintain separate account for the each partner. The partnership must maintain the capital accounts of the partners in order to pass the economic effects test because many of the determinations for proper allocations rely on well-maintained capital accounts for discerning the partners' interests.

3. True, if the net income of a partnership is less than the total of the allowances provided by the partnership agreement, the amount must be allocated in the ratio of allowances as per the agreement so it should be in 2:1 ratio, so X share of net income is $20,000.

4. False, when a partner withdraws form partnership then it cannot be dissolved, remaining partner’s profit sharing ratio will be changed. Suppose if only two partners then it can be dissolved.

5. Answer is C. Luke $38,000 & Jhon $ 55,000

If the net income of a partnership is less than the total of the allowances provided by the partnership agreement, the amount must be allocated in the ratio of allowances as per the agreement, here the total allowance need to pay is $108,000 and net income of partnership is only $93,000 so the income to be shared in the ratio of salaries i.e. $48,000: $60,000

6. The answer is $ 70,000. Because of they giving interest of 40% to the new incoming partner the Benton capital will not change.
