Chang and Danos share partnership profits and losses at 60% and 40%, respectively. The partners agree to admit Flint into the partnership for a 50% interest in capital and earnings. Capital accounts immediately before the admission of Flint are:
Chang (60%)
$ 300,000
Danos (40%)
$ 300,000
Total
$ 600,000

Flint paid the money directly to Chang and to Danos for 50% of each of their respective capital interests. The partnership records goodwill.
