Revalue the total partnership capital to reflect the value implied by Brown's retirement
Excess payment of $30,000.
Excess payment of $30,000 for 1/4 ownership implies goodwill of $30,000 / 25% = $120,000.
Goodwill $       120,000
Ash, capital $          60,000
Curly, capital $          30,000
Brown, capital $          30,000
Account Debit Credit
Brown, capital $       135,000
Cash $       135,000
