    I thought this question was quite simple for a Goodwill question. Event he figures and percentages were straight forword.. I.e 50% of 100,000<BR><BR>What did you do to fluff it?<BR>Andy

    I got the general concept right by debiting the 2 partners capital with 20k each I think to buy out the 40k goodwill from Dan but it just went a bit pear shaped....<BR><BR> GOODWILL<BR>DAN 40000 CAPITAL KIM 20000<BR>KIM 30000 CAPITAL OTHER 1 20000<BR>OTHER1 30000 KIM 30000 (TOTAL OF 50000)<BR> OTHER1 30000 (TOTAL OF 50000)<BR><BR>Thats what I put and I know it makes no sense<BR><BR>I wouldn't worry about the appropriation as it does come to pence when you total it, I rounded mine upto pounds which meant 1 lucky partner got 1 pound extra but I'm sure they wont be too harsh as they will see the right answer has been calculated just not rounded
