Answer:
A) $3,429
Explanation:
Bonus capital paid by the new shareholders will be distributed among the Old Partner on the basis of their old sharing ratio
Capital Balance of Peter = $38,000
Settlement amount = $20,000
As we does not have revised profit ratios, Peter and Chris will share profit on their old ratios.
Remaining balance of Gary's capital = $26,000 - $20,000 = $6,000
Peter Share = 4/7 x $6,000 = $3,429
