E) None of the above

Explanation:

In partnership, the partners earn profit. The salary allowances are considered as though paid to a third party and are considered before arriving at the net income.

As such, given that net income is $30,000 and is to be shared in the ratio 80:20 between Gary and Elaine respectively.

Elaine's share = (20/100) * $30,000

= $6,000
