Answer: Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Ron's capital = $80,000
Stella's = $75,000
Tiffany's = $50,000
Income sharing ratio = 3:2:1
Tiffany is retiring from the partnership
Amount paid to Tiffany = $56,000
Bonus = Amount paid to Tiffany - Tiffany's capital
= $56,000 - $50,000
= $6,000
Above bonus is 1/6th of goodwill.
Therefore, the total amount of goodwill recorded would be:
Goodwill = [tex]\frac{6,000}{\frac{1}{6} }[/tex]
= $36,000
