    The journalized entries and calculations are in the explanation.

    1. Debit Cash with $90,000 and Credit Adison with $90,000

    2. Debit Cash with $120,000; Credit Adison with $94,500; Main - $20,400; FIrst - $5,100

    3. Debit Cash with $80,000; Main-$6,800; First; $1,700, Credit Adison with $$88,500

    Explanation:

    Calculation 1: Journalize the admission of Adison whose investment of $90,000 is for 15% interest in equity and 15% in sharing of any income or loss

    Date Particulars Debit Credit

    Nov 1 Cash $90,000

    Adison, Capital $90,000

    Being the record of Adison into the Partnership business ($510,000 + 90,000) = ($600,000 x 15%)

    Calculation 2: The second question is to specifically record the Admission of Adison with $120,000 investment, 15% interest, and 15% sharing of profit or loss

    To record this.

    a. The cash account will be debited with the entire 120,000 while, credit will be as follows:

    -$510,000 + $120,000 (Adison) = $630,000

    Adison, Credit = $630,000 x 15% = $94,500

    Balance = $120,000 - $94,500 = $25,500 (to be shared by first two partners)

    Main, Credit = 80% x $25,500 = $20,400

    First, Credit = 20% x $25,500 = $5,100

    The Journal Entries are as follows:

    Date Particulars Debit Credit

    Nov. 1 Cash $120,000

    Capital, Adison $94,500

    Capital, Main $20,400

    Capital, First, $5,100

    Being the record of admitting Adison into the partnership

    Calculation 3: The second question is to specifically record the Admission of Adison with $80,000 investment, 15% interest, and 15% sharing of profit or loss

    -$510,000 + $80,000 (Adison) = $590,000

    Adison, Credit = $590,000 x 15% = $88,500

    Since, it is higher than the $80,000 contributed then the following calculations will occur

    $80,000-$88,500 = - $8,500, This amount will be debited to the first two partners based on their sharing ratio

    Main, Debit = 80% x $8,500 = $6,800

    First, Debit = 20% x $8,500 = $1,700

    Cash, Debit = $80,000 (the contribution of Adison)

    Adison will then be credited with $88,500

    The Journal Entries are as follows:

    Date Particulars Debit Credit

    Nov. 1 Cash $80,000

    Capital, Main $6,800

    Capital, First, $1,700

    Capital, Adison $88,500

    Being the record of admitting Adison into the partnership
