Answer 1

$201,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the Wasser capital balance at the end of 2018 is shown below:

Particulars Clearly Wasser Nolan Total

Beginning capital Balances $100,000 $150,000 $200,000

Add: Interest on above capital $10,000 $15,000 $20,000 $45,000

Add: Annual compensation $10,000 $10,000

Add: Profit distribution

at 20:40:40 ratio $19,000 $38,000 $38,000 $95,000

Less: Drawings

($1,000 × 12 months) -$12,000 -$12,000 -$12,000

Ending balance $117,000 $201,000 $246000

The $95,000 is come from

= $150,000 - $45,000 - $10,000

= $95,000

We simply added the interest on capital, annual compensation, profit and deduct the interest on drawings so that the ending capital balance could come
