1) The partners have no agreement on the method of sharing income and loss.

2) The partners agreed to share income and loss in the ratio of their beginning capital investments. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

3) The partners agreed to share income and loss by providing annual salary allowances of $35,000 to Ries, $30,000 to Bax, and $42,000 to Thomas; granting 10% interest on the partners’ beginning capital investments; and sharing the remainder equally.
