Answer 1

C,

Net income for 2017

= 48000 - 33000 - (10%*35600) - 10%(50400+(4800*6/12)

=15000 - 3560 - 5280 = $6160

Balance at year end

Kingston =35600+( 6160*50%)+4800= $ 43480

Allen =50400 +(6160*50%) = $ 53480

D,

Net income for 2017 = 48000-33000-(7200+4800)-5%(86000)

=15000 - 12000 - 4300 = ($1300)

The loss should also be shared equally

Balances at year end

Kingston = 35600 +($1300) * 50%+4800

=35600+($650)+4800 $39750

Allen =50400+(($1300)*50% )= ($650)+50400 = $49750

Note; It is assumed that the above mentioned expenses are against profit only.
