Here is a online test question I worked on today:

Cor-Eng partnership was formed on January 2, 2004. Under the partnership agreement, each partner has an equal initial capital balance accounted for under the goodwill method. Partnership net income or loss is allocated 60% to Cor and 40% to Eng. To form the partnership, Cor originally contributed assets costing $30,000 with a fair value of 60,000 on January 2, 2004, While Eng contributed $20,000 in cash. Drawing by the partners during the 2004 totaled $3000 by Cor and $9000 by Eng. Cor-Eng net income for 2004 was $25,000. Eng¡¯s initial capital account in Cor-Eng was?

 

A.     60,000 B. 40,000 C, 20,000 D. 25,000

 

I chosen C, but the answer is A. Can anyone explain?

I think the answer should be A with GW method.

Cor contributed the asset with FV of $60K, which implies
that Eng's contribution should be equal to $60K as per
the original agreement (each partner has an equal initial
capital balance) consists of Eng's initial contribution
capital of $20K in cash and $40K in GW. The partner's
total capital is $120K.

If Bonus method, I think the answer would be B.

Cor contributed the asset with FV of $60K and Eng's
contribution was $20K in cash, which brings the initial
total capital of the partnership is $80.   Since the
partnership has formed in agreement that each partner has
an equal initial capital balance account for under the
Goodwill Method, the $80K will be equally divided, which
is $40K/partner giving Eng the bonus of $20K.

Let me know, if any other explanation on this Q.
