Taylor's capital $57,500

To Income summary $25,000

To Farmer's capital $32,500

(Being the allocation of the net loss is recorded)

Explanation:

Before passing the journal entry we need to do the calculations which is shown below:

Since the net loss for the current year is $25,000

And, the amount receiver per year is $90,000

So, the total amount is

= $25,000 + $90,000

= $115,000

Now it is equally dividend i. e $57,500 each

So, the farmer amount credited by

= $90,000 - $57,500

= $32,500

And, the taylor account debited by $57,500

So, the journal entry is

Taylor's capital $57,500

To Income summary $25,000

To Farmer's capital $32,500

(Being the allocation of the net loss is recorded)
