Answer:
b) $102,000
Explanation:
<u>Calculation of goodwill</u>
Lovett investment $60,000
Actual value of partnership = $60,000/20% = 300,000
Partnership capital = $120,000 + $90,000 + $60,000 = $270,000
Goodwill = $300,000 - $270,000 = $30,000
<u>Distribution of Goodwill</u>
Bishop = $30,000 * 60% = $18,000
Cotton = $30,000 * 40% = $12,000
Cotton's Capital = $90,000 + $12,000 = $102,000. Thus, Cotton's capital balance after this new investment is $102,000
