The capital balances of the DEF Partnership are as follows: David $180,000 Emma 95,000 Finn 150,000 Total $425,000
 
The partners' income sharing ratio is: 

David, 25%; Emma, 45%; Finn, 30%.

Case A: Assume Gail joins the partnership by contributing $125,000 to the partnership for a 20% interest in partnership capital.

Case B: Now assume Gail paid $90,000 for a 20% interest in partnership capital.

 

For each case (each case is independent), use both Bonus method and Goodwill method to analyze the problem.
