Explanation:
1.
Kramer: Interest allowances = ($59,000 × 12%) = $7,080
|
Knox: Interest allowances = ($51,000 × 12%) = $6,120
|
Balance allocated equally = ($93,800 – $116,200) / 2 = $(11,200) |
2.
Kramer: Interest allowances = ($59,000 × 12%) = $7,080
|
Knox: Interest allowances = ($51,000 × 12%) = $6,120
|
Balance allocated equally = [$(14,800) – $116,200] / 2 = $(65,500)
