*Calculation of interest on capital to Purkerson
Initial capital = $82,000
Additional capital bought in on April 1, 2018 = $6,000
Effective monthly capital = $82,000 * (12/12) + $6,000 * (9/12)
= $82,000 + $4,500 =$86,500
Interest @ 20% = $86,500 * 20% = $17,300
**Calculation of withdrawal amount in ratio of 3 : 2 : 5
Withdrawal amount = Compensation Allowance + Interest on Capital - Net Income
= ($14,000 + $24,000 + $6,000) + ($17,300 + $12,400 + $6,000) - $24,000
= $55,700
Withdrawal by Purkerson = $55,700 * (3/10) = $16,710
Withdrawal by Smith = $55,700 * (2/10) = $11,140
Withdrawal by Traynor = $55,700 * (5/10) = $27,850
