Question 1 - The Distance Plus partnership has the following capital balances at the beginning of the current year:

Tiger (50% of profits and losses)	$165,000
Phil (20%)	135,000
Ernie (30%)	150,000

Each of the following questions should be viewed independently.

a. If Sergio invests $190.000 in cash in the business for a 20 percent interest, what journal entry is recorded? Assume that the bonus method is used.

b. If Sergio invests $100,000 in cash in the business for a 20 percent interest, what journal entry is recorded? Assume that the bonus method is used.

c. If Sergio invests $120.000 in cash in the business for a 20 percent interest, what journal entry is recorded? Assume that the goodwill method is used.

Question 2 - The partnership agreement of Jones, King, and Lane provides for the annual allocation of the business's profit or loss in the following sequence:

• Jones, the managing partner, receives a bonus equal to 25 percent of the business's profit.
• Each partner receives 20 percent interest on average capital investment.
• Any residual profit or loss is divided equally.

The average capital investments for 2018 were as follows:

Jones	$185,000
King	370,000
Lane	555,000

How much of the $82,000 partnership profit for 2018 should be assigned to each partner?

Question 3 - The E.N.D. partnership has the following capital balances as of the end of the current year:

Pineda	$140,000
Adams	120,000
Fergie	110,000
Gomez	100,000
Total capital	$470,000

Answer each of the following independent questions:

a. Assume that the partners share profits and losses 3:3:2:2, respectively. Fergie retires and is paid $140,000 based on the terms of the original partnership agreement. If the goodwill method is used, what is the capital balance of the remaining three partners?

b. Assume that the partners share profits and losses 4:3:2:1, respectively. Pineda retires and is paid $340.000 based on the terms of the original partnership agreement. If the bonus method is used, what is the capital balance of the remaining three partners? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar amounts.)

Question 4 - The following balance sheet is for a local partnership in which the partners have become very unhappy with each other.

Cash	$47,000	Liabilities	$37,000
Land	165,000	Adams, capital	99,000
Building	155,000	Baker, capital	48,000
		Carvil, capital	74,000
		Dobbs, capital	109,000
Total assets	$367,000	Total liabilities and capital	$367,000

To avoid more conflict, the partners have decided to cease operations and sell all assets. Using this information, answer the following questions. Each question should be viewed as an independent situation related to the partnership's liquidation.

a. The $10000 cash that exceeds the partnership liabilities is to be disbursed immediately. If profits and losses are allocated to Adams, Baker, Carvil, and Dobbs on a 2:3:3:2 basis, respectively, how will the $10,000 be divided?

b. The $10,000 cash that exceeds the partnership liabilities is to be disbursed immediately. If profits and losses are allocated on a 2:2:3:3 basis, respectively, how will the $10.000 be divided?

c. The building is immediately sold for $77,000 to give total cash of $124,000. The liabilities are then paid, leaving a cash balance of $87,000. This cash is to be distributed to the partners. How much of this money will each partner receive if profits and losses are allocated to Adams, Baker, Carvil, and Dobbs on a 1:3:3:3 basis, respectively? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

d. Assume that profits and losses are allocated to Adams, Baker, Carvil, and Dobbs on a 1:3:4:2 basis, respectively. How much money must the firm receive from selling the land and building to ensure that Carvil receives a portion? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Brown, capital (40%)	$25,000
Fish, capital (30%)	15,000
Stone, capital (30%)	5,000

a. If the land is sold for $25,000, how much cash does each partner receive in a final settlement?

b. If the land is sold for $15,000, how much cash does each partner receive in a final settlement?

c. If the land is sold for $5,000, how much cash does each partner receive in a final settlement?
