Calculate the capital of Partner M:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Partner}\text{M,Capital}\text{=}\left[\begin{array}{l}\left(\text{Cash}-\text{Partner}\text{B}\text{,}\text{Existing}\text{equity}\right)\text{×}\\ \text{sharing}\text{percentage}\text{of}\text{income}\text{and}\text{loss}\end{array}\right]\\ \text{=}\text{\$214,000}-\text{\$138,000×}\frac{\text{3}}{\text{8}}\\ \text{=}\text{\$28,500}\end{array}$ (1)

Calculate the capital of Partner L:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Partner}\text{L,Capital}\text{=}\left[\begin{array}{l}\left(\text{Cash}-\text{Partner}\text{B}\text{,}\text{Existing}\text{equity}\right)\text{×}\\ \text{sharing}\text{percentage}\text{of}\text{income}\text{and}\text{loss}\end{array}\right]\\ \text{=}\text{\$214,000}-\text{\$138,000×}\frac{\text{5}}{\text{8}}\\ \text{=}\text{\$47,500}\end{array}$ (2)

Explanation of Solution

Record journal entry for the entry of Partner R into the partnership if Partner R invests (a) $200,000:

Date		Account Title and Explanation	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
February 1		Cash	200,000
		Partner R, Capital (5)		200,000
		(To record admission of partner R)
