Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Record investment for equal - value case
When Addison invests $165,000 for a 20% interest and the investment is equal to the equity acquired. Debit: Cash $165,000 Credit: Addison, Capital $165,000
Step2: Record investment for bonus - to - old - partners case
When Addison invests $200,000 for a 20% interest. The total equity after Addison's investment is $660,000 + $200,000=$860,000. Addison's equity share should be $860,000×20% = $172,000. The bonus to old partners is $200,000 - $172,000 = $28,000, which is distributed between Main and Frist in their profit - sharing ratio. Debit: Cash $200,000 Credit: Addison, Capital $172,000 Credit: Main, Capital ($28,000×77%) $21,560 Credit: Frist, Capital ($28,000×23%) $6,440
Step3: Record investment for bonus - to - new - partner case
When Addison invests $135,000 for a 20% interest. The total equity after Addison's investment is $660,000 + $135,000=$795,000. Addison's equity share should be $795,000×20%=$159,000. The bonus to Addison is $159,000 - $135,000 = $24,000, which is deducted from Main and Frist in their profit - sharing ratio. Debit: Cash $135,000 Debit: Main, Capital ($24,000×77%) $18,480 Debit: Frist, Capital ($24,000×23%) $5,520 Credit: Addison, Capital $159,000
