Answer:

A. $222,000

B. Dr Cash $80,000

Dr Goodwill 31,000

Cr Elan, Capital $111,000

C. Dr Cash $200,000

Cr Mary, Capital $40,080

Cr Gene, Capital $20,040

Cr Pat, Capital $6,680

Cr Elan, Capital $133,200

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine how much must Elan invest for a one-third interest

First step is to calculate the 2/3 of the total resulting capital balance of Mary, Gene, and Pat

Mary $266,400

Gene 133,200

Pat 44,400

Total $44,000

Total resulting capital balance=$444,000/2/3)

Total resulting capital balance= $444,000 / .666666

Total resulting capital balance=$ 666,000

Second step is to calculate how much must Elan invest for a one-third interest

Investment for one-third interest= $666,000 x 1/3

Investment for one-third interest=$666,000 x .333333

Investment for one-third interest=221,999.9

Investment for one-third interest=$222,000 (Approximately)

Therefore how much must Elan invest for a one-third interest is $222,000

B. Preparation of journal entry for the admission of Elan if she invests $80,000 for a 20 percent interest and goodwill is recorded.

First step is to calculate the Estimated amount of goodwill to the new partner

Estimated total capital $ 555,000

[($444,000÷(100%-20%)]

Less Total net assets (524,000)

($444,000 + $80,000)

Estimated goodwill to the new partner $31,000

($ 555,000-$524,000)

Now let prepare the journal entry

Dr Cash $80,000

Dr Goodwill 31,000

Cr Elan, Capital $111,000

[(444,,000÷(100%-20%)*20%)]

=($444,000/80%*20%)

=$111,000

C. Preparation of journal entry for the admission of Elan if she invests $200,000 for a 20 percent interest while the Total capital will be $600,000.

First step

Amount Invested in partnership $ 20,000

Less New partner's book value ($133,200)

[($444,000 + $222,000) x .20]

Difference $66,800

($200,000-$133,200)

Now let prepare the journal entry using ratio 6:3:1

Dr Cash $200,000

Cr Mary, Capital $40,080

($66,800 x .60)

Cr Gene, Capital $20,040

($66,800 x .30)

Cr Pat, Capital $6,680

($66,800 x .10)

Cr Elan, Capital $133,200

($666,000 x .20)

Journal entry si the initial recording of the monetary business transactions in the books of accounts. They are recorded in the chronological order. Each business transaction as dual effects in the books of accounts, that is it debits one account and credits another from a single business transaction.

(A) The Elan's Investment for one third interest.

[tex]\bold { = 666,000\times \dfrac {1} {3}}\\\\\bold { = 222,000 }[/tex]

(B) The journal entry for the admission of Elan if she invests $80,000 for a 20% interest and goodwill is recorded.

Estimated total capital $ 555,000

[tex]\bold {= \dfrac {444,000}{(100-20)}}[/tex]

Less Total net assets (524,000)

($444,000 + $80,000)

Estimated goodwill to the new partner $31,000

($ 555,000-$524,000)

Now the Journal entry,

Dr Cash- $80,000

Dr Goodwill- 31,000

Cr Elan, Capital- $111,000

[tex]\bold {\dfrac {(444,000}{(100-20)}\times 20)}\\\\\bold {=111,000}[/tex]

(C) The journal entry for the admission of Elan if she invests $200,000 for a 20%.

Amount Invested in partnership $ 20,000

Less New partner's book value ($133,200)

[tex][(\bold {444,000 + 222,000) \times 20 }[/tex]

Difference-  $66,800

($200,000-$133,200)

The Journal entry, in the ratio 6:3:1

Dr Cash - $200,000

Cr Mary, Capital- $40,080

[tex]\bold {(66,800 \times 60)}[/tex]

Cr Gene, Capital- $20,040

[tex]\bold{(66,800 \times 30)}[/tex]

Cr Pat, Capital-  $6,680

[tex]\bold {(66,800 \times 10)}[/tex]

Cr Elan, Capital- $133,200

[tex]\bold {(666,000 \times 20)}[/tex]
