Question 1 - Rick, Mary, and Joe formed a partnership on January 1, 2017, with investments of $100,000, $150,000, and $200,000, respectively. For division of income, they agreed to (1) interest of 10% of the beginning capital balance each year, (2) annual compensation of $10,000 to Mary, and (3) sharing the remainder of the income or loss in a ratio of 20% for Rick, and 40% each for Mary and Joe. Net income was $150,000 in 2017 and $180,000 in 2018. Each partner withdrew $1,000 for personal use every month during 2017 and 2018.

Required - Prepare the Statement of Partners' Capital Balances for 2017 & 2018.

Question 2 - The capital balances of the DEF Partnership are as follows:

Danielson	Eklund	Forsberg	Total
$180,000	95,000	150,000	$425,000

Ratio is: Danielson, 25%; Eklund, 45%; Forsberg, 30%.

Assume the partnership's identifiable net assets are carried at amounts approximating fair value.

Assume Gustafson joins the partnership by contributing $125,000 to the partnership for a 20% interest in partnership capital.
