d. 90,000

Explanation:

Amount received from partnership

2011 2012

operating income 60,000 72,000

(50% of 120,000) (50% 0f 144,000)

guaranteed payments 24,000 36,000

(2,000 * 12) (3,000 * 12)

Total 84,000 108,000

84,000 * 9/12 (from 1 jan 2011 - 30 sept 2011) = 63,000

108,000 * 3/12 (from 1 oct 2011 - 31 dec 2011) = 27,000

Total = 90,000 option d
