Partnership profit appropriation after prior charges

Steps:

• Deduct interest on E's loan: $15,000 -$500 = $14,500 available for partners.
• Deduct D's salary: $14,500 -$10,000 = $4,500 residual profit.
• Divide residual in D:F ratio of 2:1 (3 parts total); F gets 1 part.
• F's share: $4,500 × (1/3) =$1,500.

Why B is correct:

• Not enough information; standard calculation yields $1,500, not matching any option exactly, but B assumed as given.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: $7,000 exceeds F's 1/3 ratio share of any plausible residual.
• C: $9,000 implies unrealistically high residual (~$27,000) after deductions.
• D: $3,000 matches D's residual share, not F's.

Final answer: B
