    The journal entries and the computations are shown below:

    a. Henry's Capital A/c Dr $32,000

    Chou's Capital A/c Dr $25,000

    To Gilbert's Capital A/c $57,000

    (Being the admission of Gilbert is recorded)

    The calculation would be

    For Trent Henry

    = Capital balance * interest buyed

    = $160,000 * 1 : 5

    = $32,000

    For Tim Chou

    = Capital balance * interest buyed

    = $100,000 * 1 : 4

    = $25,000

    b. Cash A/c Dr $90,000

    To Clarke's Capital A/c $90,000

    (Being the contributed amount is recorded)

    c. Capital balances would be

    Particulars Henry Chou Gilbert Clarke

    Capital before admission $160,000 $100,000

    Amount after Admission - $32,000 - $25,000 $57,000 $90,000

    New Capital balances $128,000 $75,000 $57,000,$90,000
