Complete the schedule showing the distribution of net income, assuming net income is $54,000

Answer:

McGill takes $31,540

Smyth takes $22,460

Total: $54,000

Explanation:

Salary Allowance

McGill: $19,000

Smyth: $14,000

Total Salary Allowance = $33,000

Interest Allowance

McGill: $54,000 x 10% = $5,400

Smyth: $48,000 x 10% = $4,800

Total Interest Allowance = $5400 + $4,800 = $10,200

Total salaries and interest

McGill = $24,400 ($19,000 + $5,400)

Smyth: $18,800 ($14,000 + $4,800)

Sum = $43,200

Remaining income

McGill = $10,200 x 70% = $7,140

Smyth: $10,200 x 30% = $3,060

Total division between McGill and Smyth

McGill takes $31,540

Smyth takes $22,460

Total: $54,000
