Accounting

Zs fee for performing architectural services of this type is $100,000. X and Y propose that, in lieu of paying Z $100,000, she receive an interest in the XY partnership. Zs partnership interest would entitle her to 8 percent of the partnerships gross income for its first three years of operations and then Zs interest in the partnership would terminate. X and Y have obtained signed lease agreements with respect to most of the buildings apartments. Assume XY partnership has $400,000 of gross rental income, and $132,000 net rental income, per year, before accounting for Zs share.
