Answer 1

Ending capital account balance of Garret = $426,000

Ending capital account balance of Josh = $99,000

Explanation:

For computation of ending capital account balance of Garret’s and Josh’s Capital accounts after Dawn’s withdrawal so in this case we need to find out first Dawn' s withdraw which is shown below:-

Balance remaining of Dawn = Beginning balance - Payment through assets

= $225,000 - $195,000

= $30,000

Ending capital account balance of Garret = Beginning capital account balance - Remaining balance will be allocated

= $450,000 - ($30,000 × 4 ÷ 5)

= $450,000 - $24,000

= $426,000

Ending capital account balance of Josh = Beginning capital account balance - Remaining balance will be allocated

= $105,000 - ($30,000 × 1 ÷ 5)

= $105,000 - $6,000

= $99,000
