Question: Dagne Rayson and Sara Lockhart are both doctors. As Dagne is the more experienced practitioner, the partnership agreement calls for her to receive a salary of $60,000 per year, with remaining profits split equally between the two partners. For the current year, the Income Statement in the accounting records for the partnership is as follows:

The current revenues include the December 31, 2019 balance of work in process of $120,000. The corresponding balance as at the previous December 31, 2018 year end was 80,000, and this amount was included in the accounting revenues for that year. While the two partners have chosen to include work in process as a revenue in their accounting statements, they have elected under ITA 34 to exclude these amounts from their Net Income for Tax Purposes.
