$410,000 goodwill should be recognized, and $270,000 is Darrow's beginning capital balance.
The implied value of the company is $900,000 ($270,000 ÷ 30%). Because the money is going to the partners rather than into the business, the capital total is $490,000 before realigning the balances. Hence, goodwill of $410,000 is recognized based on the implied value ($900,000 - $490,000). This goodwill is assumed to represent unrealized business gains and is attributed to the original partners according to their profit and loss ratio. They will then each convey 30 percent ownership of the $900,000 partnership to Darrow for a capital balance of $270,000.
