Answer:
The answer is:
$30,000 (b.)
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Josh is a 30% partner in Ghost's partnership. This means that for the wages paid, Josh gets 30% of the amount paid. This can be calculated as follows:
Wages paid = $100,000
Josh's partnership = 30%
∴ amount deductible as wages = 30% of 100,000
= 30/100 × 100,000 = 0.3 × 100,000 = $30,000
