a) The capital balance remaining for three partners is:

Pineda = $185,000

Adams = $165,000

Gomez = $130,000

b) The capital balance of the remaining three partners is:

Adams = $20,000

Fergie = $43333

Gomez = $66667

Explanation:

a)

goodwill paid = amount paid to Fergie - capital balance of Fergie

= $140,000 - $110,000

= $30,000

total goodwill = $30,000*10/2

= $150,000

Pineda's share = $150,000*3/10

= $45,000

Adams's share = $150,000*3/10

= $45,000

Gomez's share = $150,000*2/10

= $30,000

capital balances of remaining partners using the goodwill method:

Pineda = capital balance + share pf goodwill

= $140,000 + $45000

= $185,000

Adams = capital balance + share pf goodwill

= $120,000 + $45000

= $165,000

Gomez = capital balance + share pf goodwill

= $100,000 + $30,000

= $130,000

total remaining capital balance = $130,000 + $165,000 + $185,000

= $480,000

Therefore, The capital balance remaining for three partners is $185,000, $165,000 and $130,000.

b) bonus paid = amount paid to Pineda - capital balance of Pineda

= $340,000 - $140,000

= $200,000

bonus to be shared by remaining partners in the ratio 3:2:1

Adam's share = $200,000*3/6

= $100,000

Fergie's share = $200,000*2/6

= $66,667

Gomez's share = $200,000*1/6

= $33.333

the remaining capitals:

Adams = $100,000 - $120000

= $20,000

Fergie = $66,667 - $110000

= $43333

Gomez = $33333.33 - $100000

= $66667

Therefore, The capital balance of the remaining three partners is Adams = $20,000, Fergie = $43333 and Gomez = $66667
