| Capital Balances of Partners After Admission | |||||||
| Paid in Capital | Capital after Admission | ||||||
| Partner Barzini | 100,000 | ||||||
| Partner Carleone | 125,000 | ||||||
| Partner Stracci | 175,000 | ||||||
| Partner Taattaglia | 250,000 | ||||||
| Partner Sollozo | 150,000 | 160,000 | (800000*20%) | ||||
| Total | 800,000 | 800,000 | |||||
| When we use the bonus method , it means that the total paid in capital must equal the total capital after admission, | |||||||
| So it equals (800000) | |||||||
| The paid in capital of the new partner (150000) < his share in the capital after admission (160000 = 800000 * 20%) | |||||||
| so there is a bonus of 10000 (60000 – 50000) to the new partner(Solozzo). | |||||||
| The bonus will be allocated on a ratio of 2:2:3:3 and will be deducted from the old partners’ capital. | |||||||
| (Barzini) = 10000 *(2/10) = 2000 | |||||||
| (Corleone) = 10000 * (2/10) = 2000 | |||||||
| (Stracci) = 10000 * (3/10) = 3000 | |||||||
| (Taattaglia) = 10000 * (3/10) = 3000 | |||||||
| (Barzini’s capital after admission = 100000 - 2000 = 98000) | |||||||
| (Corleone’s capital after admission = 125000 - 2000 = 123000) | |||||||
| (Stracci’s capital after admission = 175000 - 3000 = 173000) | |||||||
| (Taattaglia’s capital after admission = 250000 - 3000 = 247000) | |||||||
| Solozzo’s capital after admission = 160000 | |||||||
