How do partners share profits?

Partners share profits and losses according to their partnership agreements.

In the absence of a partnership agreement, profits and losses are distributed equally.

                                   Beau Dawson       Willow McDonald    Total

Capital investment         $65,000               $195,000            $260,000

Profit-sharing ratio (capital) 1              :              3

Sum of ratios = 4

Net income for the year = $275,000

Profit-sharing under these scenarios:
