    Balance in Paul's capital account immediately after his admission is:

    (A) $140,400

    Explanation:

    Total capital after admission of Paul = $120000 + $80000 + $100000 + $160000 = $460000

    Paul's share = 20% x $460000 = $92000

    Excess amount contributed by Paul $160000 - $92000 = $68000 will be shared by existing partners in the income and losses ratio of 3:4:3

    Caitlin's share = 3/10 x $68000 = $20400

    Balance in Caitlin's capital account immediately after Paul's admission = $120000 + $20400 = $140,400.
