In a partnership where Noah invests $30,000, Steven invests $20,000, and Evan invests $15,000, if the partnership earns $244,000, how much will Noah receive?

To determine how much Noah will receive from the partnership's earnings, it's essential to look at how profits are typically distributed based on capital contributions unless a different profit-sharing agreement is specified.

In this scenario, Noah, Steven, and Evan have invested different amounts into the partnership, totaling $65,000 (Noah's $30,000, Steven's $20,000, and Evan's $15,000). The partnership has generated $244,000 in earnings. The distribution of net earnings is usually proportional to each partner’s investment.

First, we calculate Noah's share of the total investment:

• Noah's investment = $30,000

• Total investment = $30,000 + $20,000 + $15,000 = $65,000

Next, we determine the percentage of the total investment that Noah owns:

• Noah’s percentage = $30,000 / $65,000 = 0.4615 (or about 46.15%).

Now, we apply Noah's percentage to the total earnings of the partnership to find out how much he will receive:

• Noah’s share of the earnings = $244,000 * 0.4615 = $112,000 (approximately).

This calculation indicates that Noah
