The problem you uploaded involves a partnership between May and Jun. They are allocated salary allowances and share residual profits equally. Here's a breakdown:

- May is allocated a salary allowance of P45,000.
- Jun is allocated a salary allowance of P35,000.
- Both May and Jun withdraw 80% of their salary allowances as cash.
- In 2016, the partnership made profits in excess of P100,000 (before salary allowances and withdrawals).
  
The question asks how May’s capital in the partnership would change relative to Jun’s, given these facts.

### Step-by-step approach:
1. **Salary allowances**:
   - May’s salary: P45,000  
   - Jun’s salary: P35,000  

2. **Withdrawals**:
   - May withdrew 80% of P45,000:  
     \( 0.8 \times 45,000 = 36,000 \)  
   - Jun withdrew 80% of P35,000:  
     \( 0.8 \times 35,000 = 28,000 \)  

3. **Remaining capital from salary allowances**:
   - May left in the partnership: \( 45,000 - 36,000 = 9,000 \)  
   - Jun left in the partnership: \( 35,000 - 28,000 = 7,000 \)  

4. **Residual profit**:
   - After accounting for salary allowances, any remaining profits are shared equally.
   - The problem states that there is P100,000 profit in excess of the salary allowances.
   - Since the residual profit is shared equally, May and Jun each receive \( \frac{100,000}{2} = 50,000 \).

5. **Total capital contributions**:
   - May’s capital contribution:
     \( 9,000 + 50,000 = 59,000 \)  
   - Jun’s capital contribution:
     \( 7,000 + 50,000 = 57,000 \)

Since May’s capital is slightly more than Jun’s, May’s capital **increased more than Jun’s**.

### Conclusion:
The correct answer is:
**a. Increase more than Jun’s**.

2. How do withdrawals affect the capital account in a partnership?
3. What are the impacts of unequal salary allowances on partnership equity?
4. How are residual profits in a partnership calculated when there are multiple partners?
5. What happens to a partner's capital if profits are negative?

**Tip**: When dealing with partnership accounting, always keep track of salary allowances and withdrawals separately from profit-sharing calculations.

The partnership of May and Jun provided salary allowances (P45,000 to May and P35,000 to Jun) and residual profits shared equally. Each withdrew 80% of their salary allowances. With a profit in excess of P100,000 in 2016, how did May’s capital compare to Jun's?

Explore how partnership profits between May and Jun are distributed. With salary allowances of P45,000 for May and P35,000 for Jun, withdrawals are 80% of their allowances, and profits exceed P100,000. Learn how May's capital increased more than Jun's through a detailed solution.
