After graduating from Phoenix College with the most valuable degree in Accounting,

Michelle and Mary join together to form a new partnership named The Vintage Audio Company

(VAC). They sell two items to a specialty market 8 Track Tapes (8TT), and Cassette Tapes

(CT). They use a LIFO system of inventory. The partnership operating agreement states that each

partner will receive a monthly distribution of $1,000, then commissions for their own sales, then

12% APR return on their beginning equity, and then split the remaining profit 60% for Michelle

/40% for Mary (in this order). The monthly distribution and commissions are taken during the

month as a draw and the journal entries have already been made at the time of payment.

During the month, VAC received a letter from the attorney of Jenny (one of their customers). The letter informed VAC that Jenny had declared bankruptcy and will not be paying the outstanding

balance of her account ($300).
