A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/12/M/J/21

Explanation
No adjustments to old partners' capitals for unrecorded revaluation and goodwill Steps:
- Note original capitals: V 40,000, shared equally.
- Revalue non-current assets downward by $20,000, but this is taken into account only for Z's admission, not recorded in books.
- Value goodwill at $80,000, explicitly not recorded in books after admission.
- Admit Z with new profit-sharing ratio 40:30:30; E's capital unchanged as no entries affect old accounts.
Why B is correct:
- In partnership admission, if revaluation and goodwill are valued but not recorded in books, existing partners' capitals remain at original balances per accounting standards.
Why the others are wrong:
- A. Assumes revaluation loss shared equally ($10,000 debit to E), but not recorded.
- C. No calculation yields $10,000 credit to E.
- D. No basis; possibly misapplies total revalued assets to E alone.
Final answer: B
