Answer:

B. a debit to Allen, Capital for $3,000.

Explanation:

Capital after admission: 220,000

Daniel receives a fifth so 20%: 20% of 220,000  = 44,000

Daniel investment 40,000

So there is a 4,000 bonus that will be taken between the old partners at their share ratio:

Allen 4,000 x 3/4  = 3,000

Daniel 4,000 x 1/4 = 1,000

The journal entry wil lbe:

cash 40,000

allen 3,000

daniel 1,000

       davin         44,000
