    Please read this announcement.

    I will give you a way to get started. If you will post your work, we can check it and guide you from there.

    1) Look up the rules in your text or online as to how to handle this when no agreement exists. We'll verify your understanding.

    2) You have the three capital investments. Total them, and then calculate the percent each partner has. This percent is applied to the income for each partner.

    3) You are given three salaries. You can compute the 8% on their capital investments. Add the total salaries and the total interest. You can then figure the remainder.

    If you'll do this, you can post your answers for review. From there you are asked to write journal entries.
