40% of Goodwill = $60,000
.40 G = $60,000

Roberts receives an additional $60,000 above her capital balance. Since she is assigned 40 percent of all profits and losses, this extra allocation indicates total goodwill of $150,000, which must be split among all partners.
40% of Goodwill = $60,000
.40 G = $60,000
G = $150,000
Total capital is $240,000 + goodwill $150,000 = $390,000.
Roberts receives $160,000 and partnership capital is then $390,000-$160,000 = $230,000.

.40 G = $30,000
G = $75,000
Donald = 20% Goodwill = $15,000. $40,000 + $15,000 = $55,000.

Anne retires and is paid $80,000 based on the terms of the original partnership agreement. If the bonus method is used, what is the capital of the remaining partners? 
A. Donald, $40,000; Todd, $30,000
B. Donald, $30,000; Todd, $10,000
C. Donald, $50,000; Todd, $50,000
D. Donald, $24,000; Todd, $18,000
A

B. Donald, $30,000; Todd, $10,000

The $30,000 bonus is deducted from the remaining partners according to their relative profit and loss 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 $30,000) = $10,000.
