Question

 

Pete the Cat and his friend Grumpy Toad are starting a band. As they think it will be quite successful, it would be smart to officially set up a partnership agreement. Pete will be able to contribute $1,000 as well as his guitar which has a fair market value of $500. Grumpy Toad will be able to contribute his bass with a fair value of $800.

 

Pete talks to his brother Bob about the agreement and Bob puts forward two suggestions.

 

Option 1

  • Pete gets a salary of $10,000 and Grumpy gets a salary of $12,000
  • Pete earns 20% interest and Grumpy earns 15%
  • Remaining income is split 50 / 50

 

Option 2

  • Both partners get a salary of $15,000
  • Both partners earn 15% interest
  • Remaining income is split 75 / 25 (Pete / Grumpy)

 

Pete thinks that in year 1 the band will make $5,000 but in future years this will be $35,000 and then $60,000. 

 

Pete has come to you - his mom / dad for advice. Which option is better for Pete? Which option is better for the band? Pete also wants to know a little bit about partnerships - what are some advantages and disadvantages he might want to think about?
