d. John's capital account for $41,400 and a credit to Stuart's capital account for $74,700

Answer 1

c. John's capital account for $41,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on this information it can be said that in this scenario the journal entry to record the admission of John as a new partner would include a credit to John's capital account for $41,400. This is mainly because even though Bobbi sold his interest for $63,900 his actual interest capital in the partnership was that of $41,400 .... meaning that John now holds a partnership capital of $41,400 and the Bobbi profited $22,500
