Meir, Benson, and Lau are partners and share income and loss in a 1:4:5 ratio (in percents: Meir, 10%; Benson, 40%; and Lau, 50%). The partnership's capital balances are as follows: Meir, $28,000; Benson, $119,000; and Lau, $153,000. Benson decides to withdraw from the partnership.

1. Prepare the journal entry to record Benson's withdrawal under each independent assumptions. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

(a) Benson sells her interest to North for $160,000 after North is approved as a partner;

(b) Benson gives her interest to a son-in-law, Schmidt, and Schmidt is approved as a partner;

(c) Benson is paid $119,000 in partnership cash for her equity;

(d) Benson is paid $157,000 in partnership cash for her equity; and

(e) Benson is paid $13,000 in partnership cash plus equipment recorded on the partnership books at $33,000 less its accumulated depreciation of $11,600.
  2. Assume that Benson does not retire from the partnership described in Part 1. Instead, Rhode is admitted to the partnership on February 1 with a 25% equity. Prepare journal entries to record Rhode’s entry into the partnership under each separate assumption: Rhode invests

(a) $100,000;

(b) $73,000; and

(c) $131,000. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
