**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
