Can a Windows 8 device have multiple microsoft accounts associated with the store?

I have a Windows 8 tablet and have purchased some apps from the store. I just got my wife a Windows 8 tablet as well and want to know the easiest way she can use the apps I purchased. I know she will want to purchase stuff too and I'd like to be able to use those apps as well.

I don't want her to use my Microsoft account because she will want to have her own settings and password. Should I just set her up with a local account and then sign into the store with my Microsoft account, or can I make her a Microsoft account but use mine to log into the store? Can more than one account be associated with the store? 😕
 
You can have 1 account signed in for the store but not setup for the mail/calendar/other stuff. So in that way you could just use your account for the store on both systems, but let her use her account for all the other settings.
