Har, Ion, and Jer formed a partnership on January 1, 2011, with each partner contributing $20,000 cash. Although the partnership agreement provided that Jer receive a salary of $1,000 per month for managing the partnership business, Jer has never withdrawn any money from the partnership. Har withdrew $4,000 in each of the years 2011 and 2012, and Ion invested an additional $8,000 in 2011 and withdrew $8,000 during 2012. Due to an oversight, the partnership has not maintained formal accounting records, but the following information as of December 31, 2012, is available:
