A partnership begins its first year with the following capital balances:

Alfred, Capital	$	60,000
Bernard, Capital		70,000
Collins, Capital		80,000

The articles of partnership stipulate that profits and losses be assigned in the following manner:

• Each partner is allocated interest equal to 5 percent of the beginning capital balance.
• Bernard is allocated compensation of $16,000 per year.
• Any remaining profits and losses are allocated on a 3:3:4 basis, respectively.
• Each partner is allowed to withdraw up to $5,000 cash per year.
