yields $18,000 to McCune, $27,000 to Nall, and $45,000 to Oakely. After the
revaluation, the assets will be recorded at $602,500. If Pavic is admitted for a onefifth interest, the $602,500 represents 80% of the total implied capital. Dividing
$602,500 by 80% gives a total capitalization of $753,150 for which $150,625 is
required from Pavic for a 20% interest. Each of the original partners has given up
20% of their interest to Pavic. Their profit and loss sharing ratios will therefore be
80% of what they were before the admission of Pavic. McCune Nall Oakely Pavic

Egan, capital 200,000 120,000 80,000 210,000 190,000 400,000 If a $400,000
payment represents 50% of total capital, then twice that amount, or $800,000, is
the implied total capital including goodwill. If the present total capital is $600,000,
and the implied total capital is $800,000, the amount of goodwill to record is
$200,000. This goodwill is allocated 60% to Cesar and 40% to Damon. After the first
entry is posted, the balances in the Cesar and Damon capital accounts will be
$420,000 and $380,000, respectively. If onehalf of each partner's interest is given to
Egan, Cesar's capital account is reduced by $210,000, and Damon' capital account
is reduced by $190,000.
Requirement 2 Goodwill Cash Egan, capital 100,000 500,000 600,000 If we focus on
the current capital of the partnership, $600,000, and say that it is fairly valued,
then, if it represents 50% of final capital after Egan's investment, final capital should
be $1,200,000. Egan's share of final capital will be $600,000, and, if Egan invests
$500,000 for this interest, there must be $100,000 of goodwill that is allocated to
Egan.
Requirement 3 Goodwill Cesar, capital Damon, capital Cash Egan, capital 100,000
60,000 40,000 700,000 700,000 If Egan invests $700,000 for a 50% interest, it
implies that total partnership capital should be $1,400,000. After Egan's investment,

total capital will be $1,300,000, and goodwill is therefore $100,000. The goodwill is
allocated to Cesar and Damon.

Requirement 1 The assets of the partnership must be adjusted to fair market value.
Land will increase by $100,000, and Inventory by $75,000. The profit and loss ratio
elements add up to 25. Partner Ivory will then be allocated 9/25 of the $175,000,
etc. Land Inventory Ivory, capital Jacoby, capital Kato, capital
Requirement 2 The partnership's total assets after revaluation are $900,000. If
Lange acquires a 10% interest, it implies that the $900,000 represents 90% of the
partnership's value after Lange's investment. Therefore, $900,000/90% =
$1,000,000, and $1,000,000 x 10% = $100,000. The entry to record Lange's
investment would be: Cash Lange, capital 100,000 100,000 100,000 75,000 63,000
