Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
Felix and Ian allocate 2/5 of their partnership's profits and losses to Felix and 3/5 to Ian. The net income of the firm is $50,000. The journal entry to close the Income Summary will include ______.
- ☐ debit to Felix, Capital for $30,000
- ☐ credit to Ian, Capital for $30,000
- ☐ credit to Income Summary for $50,000
- ☐ debit to Felix, Capital for $20,000
**Answer:**
To determine the correct journal entry to close the Income Summary, we need to allocate the net income based on the profit-sharing ratio.
1. Felix's Share:
- Allocation: 2/5 of $50,000
- Calculation: (2/5) x $50,000 = $20,000
2. Ian's Share:
- Allocation: 3/5 of $50,000
- Calculation: (3/5) x $50,000 = $30,000
The correct entry will include debiting Felix's capital account for $20,000, as this represents his share of the income being transferred from the Income Summary to his capital. Therefore, the correct answer is:
- ☑ debit to Felix, Capital for $20,000
