ANSWERS
to P60,000, then the total agreed capital must be P120,000 (P60,000 ¸ 50%). The initial capital of Red
therefore amounted to P60,000 or 50% of P120,000 as agreed by the partners.

If Chona is allowed goodwill credit equal to 20% of her initial capital, Charo’s cash contribution was
P25,000, computed as follows:
Chona’s initial capital is equal to her net assets contribution which is 80% plus her goodwill credit of 20%.
Charo’s cash contribution is equal to one-fourth (¼) of total partnership capital or 1/3 of Chona’s capital.
Equipment 60,000
Truck 144,000
The capital contributed by Feb is P280,000 (P70,000 + P75,000 + P225,000 – P90,000), the total
agreed capital is therefore equal to P400,000 (P280,000/70%), 30% of which or P120,000 should be
credited to Jhan. Since his initial capital contribution is P65,000 (P30,000 + P25,000 + 10,000) only, he
needs to invest P55,000 more (P120,000-P65,000). [18]. Letter “A” is the correct answer.
Partners’ capital balances upon formation are Bel, P75,000; Joy, P80,000, and Franco, P85,000,
respectively, computed as follows:

The total agreed capital of the partnership is P248,850 (P165,900 ÷ 2/3), and the capital share of gain is
P82,950 (P248,850 x 1/3), hence, the cash to be invested by Gain is equal to P32,950 (P82,950 –
P50,000).

Aga’s investment or P100,000 (P20,000/20%) and the capital to be credited to Mata is P80,000
(P100,000 – P20,000). If Mata contributes an equipment worth P50,000, then he should invest additional
cash amounting to P30,000 (P80,000 – P50,000).
