A) $150,000

B) $110,000

C)$115,000

D) $155,000

Answer 1

Answer:

A) $150,000

Explanation:

The computation of the roger's capital balance is shown below:

= Opening capital balance of Roger + profit of roger

where,

Profit of roger = Net income × (Roger share ÷ total share)

                       = $50,000 × (2 ÷ 5)

                        = $20,000

And, the opening balance of Roger is $130,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $130,000 + $20,000

= $150,000
