Explanation / Answer

1. c. Addition of a partner who pays a bonus to each of the other partners.

2. a. $1,500 each

Total partnership equity = $64,000 + $61,000 + $35,000 = $160,000
Equity of Block = $160,000 x 0.20 = $32,000
Bonus to old partners = $35,000 - $32,000 = $3,000, split equally

_________________________________________________________

3. a.$5,000

Total partnership equity = $64,000 + $61,000 + $35,000 = $160,000
Equity of Block = $160,000 x 0.25 = $40,000
Bonus to Block = $40,000 - $35,000 = $5,000
