    The Journal entry is as follows:

    D. Hopkins, Capital A/c Dr. $210,000

    To cash A/c $200,000

    To M. Hammer's Capital A/c $5,000

    To P. Houghton's capital A/c $5,000

    (To record the amount of Hopkins Capital balance)

    Workings:

    Income = D. Hopkins, Capital - Cash payment after his death

    = $210,000 - $200,000

    = $10,000

    $10,000 is divided equally among M. Hammer and P. Houghton.
