Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Roberts receives an additional $60,000 above her capital balance.Since she is assigned 40 percent of all profits and losses,this extra allocation indicates total goodwill of $150,000,which must be split among all partners.
40% of Goodwill = $60,000
.40 G = $60,000
G = $150,000 and Peter receives 20% = $30,000.
Peter's balance = $80,000 + $30,000 = $110,000.
