    DebitCredit
    Cash$110,000
    Goodwill10,000
    W’s capital account120,000

Explanation of Solution

Estimation of goodwill

As W is investing for 25 percent of interest which is 1/4th of total capital then

¾ estimated total resulting capital   =  $360,000

Estimated total resulting capital ($360,000 ÷ ¾) = $480,000

Determination of goodwill

Estimated total resulting capital  =  $480,000

Less: total assets excluding goodwill

($360,000 + 110,000 W’s investment) = ($470,000)

Goodwill =$10,000

    Entry for revaluation of land
    Land account$200,000
    D’s capital account 120,000
    M’s capital account80,000
    To record admission of W
    D’s capital account$80,000
    M’s capital account60,000
    W’s capital account140,000

Explanation of Solution

Estimation of total capital

¼ of estimated total capital ($80,000 + $60,000) = $140,000

Estimated total resulting capital ($140,000 ÷ ¼) = $560,000

Estimation of increase in land value

Total estimated resulting capital  =  $560,000

Less: total net asset before revaluation of land

($200,000 + 160,000)  (360,000)

Increase in land $200,000

D’s share in the increase in land value $200,000 x .60 = $120,000

M’s share in the increase in land value $200,000 x .40 = 80,000
