The correct answer is $79,000 and $37,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Net income = $116,000

Doug's Salary = $52,000

Receive an interest = 10%

So, the amount to be shared equally = [$116,000 - $52,000 - (10% * $220,000) - (10% * $320,000) ] : 2

= $5,000

So, Doug share = $52,000 + (10% * $220,000) + $5,000

= $79,000

Kayla share = (10% * $320,000) + $5,000 = $37,000
