Exercise 12-15 Foss, Albertson, and Espinosa are partners who share profits and losses 50%, 30%, and 20%, respectively. Their capital balances are $117,000, $55,000, and $32,000, respectively. Assume Garrett joins the partnership by investing $81,600 for a 25% interest with bonuses to the existing partners. Prepare the journal entry to record his investment. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
Answer:
Total capital of partnership after admission of Garrett =
$204,000+ $81,600= $285,600
Garrett share in partnership = 25%
Required capital to be invested by Garrett = $285,600 * 25% =
$71,400
Bonus capital invested by Garrett = $81,600 - $71,400 = $10,200
