Answer:
d. Cash 27,000
Floyd, Capital 5,250
Merriam, Capital 1,750
Ramelow, Capital 20,000
Explanation:
First of all we need to calculate the total capital after admission
Total Capital after admission = $50,000 + $23,000 + $27,000 = $100,000
Share of Ramelow = Total Capital x Partnership share = $100,000 x 1/5 = $20,000
Actual Payment made by Ramelow = $27,000
Amount of goodwill paid by Ramelow = $27,000 - $20,000 = $7,000
This goodwill will be distributed between Floyd and Merriam as per their partnership ratio
Share of Goodwill ro Flyod = $7,000 x 3/4 = $5,250
Share of Goodwill ro Merriam = $7,000 x 1/4 = $1,750
