D. Option D

Answer 1

D) 137000 39000

Step-by-step explanation:

Allen 140,000

Daniel 40,000

Capital before admission 180,000

share ratio 3:1

Capital after admission:

180,000 + 40,000 = 220,000

David participation: 20%

220,000 x 20% = 44,000

David investment 40,000

goodwill: 4,000

There is a difference in goodwill which will be supported for the old partner as their current share ratio

Allen 4,000 x 3/4 = 3,000

Daniel 4,000 x 1/4 = 1,000

Capital after David admission:

140,000 - 3,000 = 137,000

40,000 - 1,000 = 39,000
