Answer 1

$37,833

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the balance of John's Capital account as of December 31, 2020.

Using this formula

Balance as of December 31, 2020= Initial contribution + Profit for December 31, 2019 - Loss for December 31, 2020

Let plug in the formula

Balance as of December 31, 2020= $39,000 + ( $46,000/3) - ( $55,000/10×3)

Balance as of December 31, 2020= $39,000 + $15,333 - $16,500

Balance as of December 31, 2020= $37,833

Therefore the balance of John's Capital account as of December 31, 2020 will be $37,833
