to allocate the net income ,in this case we can use one of the
following balances:

3- The Weighted -Average capital of partners.

Total 5700000

Weighted Average of capital Balance = total/12 475000
• After calculating the Weighted -Average capital balances of partners ,we use them to
allocate the net income like using the beginning and ending balances as follows:
• So:
Partner’s A share in the net income = 360,000 * 350/825 = 152727
Partner’s B share in the net income = 360,000 * 475/825 = 207273
360000
The entry is:
