    Mr J = $4,000

    Mr. K = $20,500

    Mr L = $57,500

    Explanation:

    The computation of partnership profit is shown below:-

    Partnership profit for the year 2018 $82,000

    Less: Bonus to Mr Jones $20,500

    ($82,000 * 25%)

    Less: Interest on average capital investment

    Mr J (20% * $185,000) $37,000

    Mr K (20% * $370,000) $74,000

    Mr L (20% * $555,000) $111,000

    Profit/Loss to be distributed ($160,500)

    Loss to be allocated to each partner ($53,500)

    ($160,500) : 3

    Mr J $4,000

    $20,500 + $37,000 + ($53,500)

    Mr. K $20,500

    $74,000 + ($53,500)

    Mr L $57,500

    $111,000 + ($53,500)
