Answer:

C) 170000 50000

Explanation:

David spend in total 44,000 to acquire a fifth of the company

So the partnership after increasing the land accont had a value for:

44,000 / 0.2 = 220,000

Previously it had 140,000 + 40,000 = 180,000

Increase for 40,000

This increase will be allocate in a share ratio of 3:1

Allen 40,000 x 3/4 = 30,000

Daniel 10,000 x 1/4 = 10,000

Capital balance:

140,000 + 30,000 = 170,000

40,000 + 10,000 = 50,000

The cash from David was directly to Allen and Daniel it do not go through the company
