Paulina Stafford · Answer 1

Total partnership capital after Anna retires is $40,000

Explanation:

The $30,000 bonus is deducted from the remaining partners according to their relative loss and profit ratio. Donald=20% and Todd=40% which is a 1/3, 2/3 split. Donald = $40,000 - (1/3 x $30,000) = $30,000

Todd = $30,000 - (2/3 X $30000) = $10,000.
