They agree to share profit and losses by allocating yearly salary allowances of $61,000 to Daisey and $39,100 to Jim, an interest allowance of 10% on their investments, and to split the remainder 55:45. During the year, Daisey withdrew $32,900 and Jim withdrew $23,800. The partnership recorded a loss of $15,400 in its first fiscal year.
