Mylee Walsh · Answer 1

Lee's portion of income = $81, 900

Explanation:

The income or loss would be shared according to the ratio of capital contributed. The ratio is the proportion of capital contribute per partner to the total pool of capital.

Lee; s portion of income

= lees capital/total capital * reported income

= 301,500 / (201,000+167,500 + 301,500) * 182,000

= $81, 900

Lee's portion of income = $81, 900
