Irene Watts and John Lyon are forming a partnership to which Watts will devote three-fourth time and Lyon will devote full time. They have discussed the following alternative plans for sharing income and loss: (a) in the ratio of their initial capital investments, which they have agreed will be $28,000 for Watts and $52,000 for Lyon; (b) in proportion to the time devoted to the business; (c) a salary allowance of $1,750 per month to Lyon and the balance in accordance with the ratio of their initial capital investments; or (d) a salary allowance of $1,750 per month to Lyon, 11% interest on their initial capital investments, and the balance shared equally. The partners expect the business to perform as follows: year 1, $16,000 net loss; year 2, $40,000 net income; and year 3, $66,667 net income.
