Problem $13-5($LO $4)$ Allocation of profits and determination of capital balances. At the beginning of the current year, Meyers, Lincoln, and Kopinski formed a partnership to carry on their consulting practice. At that time, net assets of $$59,000,$ $$30,000,$ and $$25,000$ were contributed to the partnership by Meyers, Lincoln, and Kopinski, respectively. The part$-$ nership provided for the allocation of profits among the partners as follows:

$1.$ All partners will receive $6\%$ interest on their weighted$-$average capital balances, as defined. Capital balances will be the initial capital balances reduced by amounts withdrawn in excess of partners$$ salaries and asset dispositions, as discussed in item $(5).$ Partners with a deficit bal$-$ ance will have their profit allocation reduced by the interest on such amounts.

$2.$ Salaries for Meyers, Lincoln, and Kopinski are $$120,000,$ $$96,000,$ and $$72,000,$ respec$-$ tively. All salaries are withdrawn at the end of each month.

$3.$ Each partner will also receive a bonus equal to $10\%$ of his or her gross billings in excess of $$400,000.$

$4.$ As compensation for her duties as office administrator, Kopinski will receive $10\%$ of net income after reduction for items $(1)$ through $(3)$ above.

$5.$ To the extent that assets initially contributed to the partnership are determined to be exces$-$ sive and not operational in nature, they will be disposed of during the first year. Any gain or loss on the disposal of such assets will be allocated to the partner who initially contributed such assets. The net sales proceeds from the dispositions will be distributed to the respective partner and their capital balance will be reduced accordingly.

$6.$ Remainingprofitswillbedistributedequallyamongthepartners.

Lincoln, and Kopinski, respectively.

Determine the final end$-$of$-$year capital balances for each partner, after all relevant closing entries have occurred.
