Deal with the additional information.

• Depreciate the machinery and equipment at 20% per year using the straight-line method

  • Find the year's depreciation by multiplying the cost by 20%

    • $52 000 × 20% = $10 400

• On 1 July 2022, Pan loaned $5 000 to the partnership with loan interest at 5% per annum

  • Find the year's interest by multiplying the loan amount by 5%

    • $5 000 × 5% = $250

• Pan is to receive an annual partnership salary of $12 000

  • This does not affect the income statement

• Remaining profits and losses are shared as follows: Tan ⅔, Pam ⅓

  • This does not affect the income statement

• 5% interest is allowed on partners’ capital accounts

  • This does not affect the income statement
