Following the recommendation of Mayo Toruno, I'm multiplying proprietors'
income by the ratio of (corp profits / (corp profits + employee comp)). This
ratio is about 11%.

Although Doug is right that conceptual issues are many and complex, I bet
that the "correct" answer would be close to that Mayo suggested.
