Journal entries per situation:

(1) partnership cash of $1.200:

Credit - > 1.200 Cash

Debit - > 1.200 Equity

(2) partnership cash of $1.600:

Credit - > 1.600 Cash

Debit - > 1.200 Equity + 400 Losses on equity

(1) partnership cash of $700:

Credit - > 1.200 Cash + 500 Other income on equity

Debit - > 1.200 Equity
