Answer:

D. $ 250,000

Explanation:

The total capital of Albert, Bert and Conell is:

$500000 + $300000 + $200000 = $1000000

given that Daniel will have 20% share in partnership.

So total capital of the partnership after admission of Daniel will be calculated as follows:

($1000000×100)/80 = $ 1250000

Daniel will invest:

$1250000 – $1000000 = $250,000
