Answer:

C. a credit to David, Capital for $60,000.

Explanation:

140,000 + 40,000 + 50,000 = 230,000

After the capital Allen and Daniel own 75% of the partnership:

180,000 = 75%

We can calculate for the 100% of the partnership

100% = 240,000 partnership after

David receive 25% =       60,000

but his contribution is for 50,000

goodwill of                        10,000

journal entry

Cash     50,000

goodwill 10,000

David Capital     60,000
