Respuesta :

Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Allen's capital is $140,000

Daniel's is $40,000

Income sharing Ratio = 3:1

David paid for a 1/5th stake in the partnership

Allen = $34,000 and Daniel = $10,000

Total amount paid by David = $44,000

Land account is increased before David is admitted

Therefore,

The value of entire entity = 5 × $44,000

                                        = $220,000

Upward valuation on account of land revaluation = $220,000 - $180,000

                                                                                    = $40,000
