Explanation / Answer

Answer is A. The partnership net asset can logically be revalued at $1080,000 on the basis of price paid by Mary Alan.

Explanation: Amount invested by Mary: $ 270,000

Partnership interest acquired: 25%

Therefore total capital of the firm (270000/25%): $ 1080,000

In this case, old partners are entitled to bonus which is mainly the result of benefit of valuation of net assets increased.
