    Answer: Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Partner S:

    Salary allowance = $20,000

    Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 60,000

    = $6,000

    Average capital balances for the current year = $60,000

    Remainder = 30% of 50,000

    = $15,000

    Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

    = $20,000 + $6,000 + $15,000

    = $41,000

    Partner R:

    Salary allowance = $25,000

    Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 50,000

    = $5,000

    Average capital balances for the current year = $50,000

    Remainder = 30% of 50,000

    = $15,000

    Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

    = $25,000 + $5,000 + $15,000

    = $45,000

    Partner T:

    Salary allowance = $15,000

    Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 40,000

    = $4,000

    Average capital balances for the current year = $40,000

    Current year net income = $125,000

    Remainder = 40% of 50,000

    = $20,000

    Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

    = $15,000 + $4,000 + $20,000

    = $39,000

    Workings:

    Salary allowed = $20,000 + $25,000 + $15,000

    = $60,000

    Interest on average capital balance = $6,000 + $5,000 + $4,000

    = $15,000

    Total = Salary allowed + Interest on average capital balance

    = $60,000 + $15,000

    = $75,000

    Remainder = Current year net income - Total

    = $125,000 - $75,000

    = $50,000
