    A. $20,000

    Explanation:

    Lynn 60,000

    Marty 80,000

    Nancy 70,000

    Total 210,000

    The buyout for nancy consist in:

    capital balance + Nancy share of unrecorded goodwill

    76,000 = 70,000 + 6,000 nancy goodwill

    Nnacy share income ratio is 30% so total goodwill is:

    6,000/30% = 6,000 / 0.3 = 20,000

    The journal entry will be:

    goodwill 20,000

    Nancy Account 70,000

    Cash 76,000

    Lynn 8,000

    Marty 6,000
