The partnership agreement for Smith Wesson & Davis, a general partnership, provided that profits be shared between the partners in the ratio of their financial contributions to the partnership. Smith contributed $80,000, Wesson contributed $48,000 and Davis contributed $16,000. In the partnership's first year of operation, it incurred a loss of $198,000.
