Explanation:

So, we are given the following Important data or information or parameters which are going to help us in solving the question above and they are;

(A). " Cleary, Wasser, and Nolan formed a partnership on January 1, 2017, and made capital contributions of $100,000 (Cleary), $150,000 (Wasser), and $200,000 (Nolan), respectively."

(B). The agreements are; '' (1) interest of an amount equal to 10% of the that partner’s beginning capital balance for the year; (2) annual compensation of $10,000 to Wasser; and (3) the remainder of the income or loss to be split among the partners in the following percentages: (a) 20% for Cleary; (b) 40% for Wasser; and (c) 40% for Nolan. Net income was $150,000 in 2017 and $180,000 in 2018."

From the observation (A) above, the capital contribution of Cleary = 100,000. And according to the agreement in (B), 10% will be shared to each partner’s beginning capital balance for the year. Therefore, for Cleary we have; 10% of 100,000 => $10,000.

For Wasser = 150000 x 10% = 15,000

For Nolan = 200000 x 10% = 20,000.
