B. Stein invests $40000 cash for 35% ownership interest but that includes a bonus to the new partner. Generally When there is negative goodwill the new investor get some bonus amount. When we add $40000 to the existing capital of Eton, Mooney and larry ($50000+$23000+$22000) = $95000
Total capital Amount is $135000 ($95000+40000) and 35% share of $135000 is $47250. here the actual cash paid by new partner stein is $40000, so the difference is $7250, this is considered as bonus to the new partner Stein.
