Explanation:

1. Interest on capital is based on weighted average capital balance without regard to normal drawings

James = (8% * 48,000) + (8% * 12,000 * 7/12) = $4,400

on the additional capital invested by James, interest on capital will be calculated for 7months

Keller = 8% * 70,000 = $5,600

River = 8% * 90,000 = 7200
