Answer 1

1. Share of Income Earned = $ 139,000 / 2

= $ 69500 To each Partner

Total Capital of at the end of year Marshall = beginning partnership capital balance + Current Year profit Share - capital balanceWithdrawls

= $ 135000 + $ 69,500 - $ 108,000

= $ 96,500

Marshall's return on equity = Share of Profit / Total Capital of at the end of year Marshall *100

= $ 69,500 / $ 96500*100

= 72 % (So, Answer Is Option C i.e. 72 %)

2. Total Partners Capital = Wilson Capital + Pickett Capital + Nelson Capital

= $ 150,000 + $ 90,000 + $ 30,000

= $ 270,000

Loss absorbed by Nelson = Total Loss * Nelson Capital/ Total Partners Capital

= $ 256,500 * $ 30,000 / $ 270,000

= $ 28,500 (So, Answer Is Option A i.e. $ 28,500)

3. Total Partner Capital Before Introduction of Royal = Wallace Capital + Simpson Capital + Prince Capital

= $ 72,800 + $ 84,000+ $ 81,200

= $ 238,000

New partner Royal Capital Account = 15% of Total Partner Capital Before Introduction of Royal

= 15 % of $ 238,000

= $ 35,700

So,Debit Cash $42,000; credit Simpson, Capital $6,300, credit Royal, Capital $35,700. that is option E, Because the Simpson will sacrifice all the his ration for income partner.

4. Capital Account of Fortaine = Building Value - Mortgage on the property

=$ 368000 - $ 134000

=$ 234,000

Capital Account of Monore = Cash + Market Value of equipment

= $ 109000 +$ 84000

= $ 193,000

amounts recorded for Fontaine's Capital account and for Monroe's Capital account are​ Fontaine, Capital $234,000; Monroe, Capital $193,000.​ (Option E)
