- Each partner is entitled to interest computed at the rate of 10% per year based on
his/her capital balances at the beginning of that year.
- Because of prior work experience, Black is entitled to an annual salary allowance of
$12,000, and White is entitled to an annual salary allowance of $8,000.
- Any remaining amount will be allocated as follows: Black, 30%, White, 20%, and
Green, 50%.

During 2019, each partner withdrew $6,000 of cash, and Partner Green invested an additional $15,000 of cash into the partnership on June 30. At the end of 2019, the business reported a net income of $10,000 for the year.
