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
