    The partnership agreement is silent about the payment of salaries and the division of profits and losses.

    Profits should be divided based on capital invested by each

    The capital investment by Gillie, Taft and Dall is 60000 : 120000 : 60000 Distribution has to be in ratio of 1:2:1

    Total profits are 120,000, 1:2:1 ratio

    The distribution will be Gillie $30,000, Taft $60,000 and Dall $30,000.

    Equally between the three.

    Explanation:

    If the partnership agreement does not specify how profits and losses will be divided between the partners, all state laws require that profits and losses are divided equally among the partners regardless of their investment in the partnership.

    Partnerships are regulated by state charters and if the charter doesn't specify how profits will be divided, then state regulations applies.
