Cox, North, and Lee form a partnership. Cox contributes $207,000, North contributes $172,500, and Lee contributes $310,500. Their partnership agreement calls for the income or loss division to be based on the ratio of capital invested. If the partnership reports income of $184,000 for its first year, what amount of income is credited to Cox's capital account?

Cox, receives $55,200

Explanation:

First let us simplify the ratio of the capital invested, and this is done as follows:

Cox's contribution = $207,000

North's contribution = $172,500

Lee's contribution = $310,500

Total amount contributed = 207,000 + 172,500 + 310,500 = $690,000

Next, let us calculate the ratios that each individual contributed of the capital, as follows:

Ratio of Cox's contribution = 207,000 ÷ 690,000 = 0.3 × 100 = 30%

Ratio of North's contribution = 172,500 ÷ 690,000 = 0.25 × 100 = 25%

Ratio of Lee's contribution = 310,500 ÷ 690,000 = 0.45 × 100 = 45%

Therefore, if partnership reports income of $184,000, the income credited to Cox's capital account is calculated as follows

Cox's ratio = 30% of the income

= 30/100 × 184,000 = 0.3 × 184,000 = $55,200

Therefore, Cox receives $55,200

contributions made after 1986. after-tax contributions to employer plans made after 1986 are recovered pro rata with taxable amounts. the remaining $80,000 is from pre-tax contributions, employer matching dollars, and earnings on those amounts.

the answer is: c.that person might be arrested and deported

filling w-4 form incorrectly usually would rise suspicions from government's auditors. when they notice such mistakes, they would send their teams to investigate the situation further.

if those investigation teams believe that the incorrectness is done on purpose (with malicious intent), that person can be arrested or deported
