Answer: B. 137,500

Explanation: since there was no provision in their agreement on how profits are to be split,

The full profit after expenses will be split/shared equally for peace sake.

ie $275,000:2 = $137,500

Also, following Subchapter S corporation; it requires that all the owners be treated the same way in terms of their shares of the firm's operating profits, liquidation profits, and distributions of those profits.
