For the current year, partnership net income is $137,000 ($77,000 allocated to Kramer and $60,000 allocated to Feldman); withdrawals are $87,000 ($45,000 for Kramer and $42,000 for Feldman). Compute the total partnership return on equity and the individual partner return on equity ratios.

What will be an ideal response?


Total partnership return on equity= Net Income/Average equity
 = $137,000 /[($608,000 + $658,000)/2]
 = $137,000 /$633,000 = 21.6%

Kramer partner return on equity= Partner net income/Average partner equity
 = $77,000 /[($352,000 + $384,000)/2]
 = $77,000 /$368,000 = 20.9%

Feldman partner return on equity= Partner net income/Average partner equity
 = $60,000 /[($256,000 + $274,000)/2]
 = $60,000 /$265,000 = 22.6%
