    The journal entry would be passed as the accounts are closed, which is shown below:

    Explanation:

    As the books are closed, then the correction would be made against the capital accounts of the partners. And the following Journal entry would be made as:

    Land A/c ... Dr $30,000

    A's Capital A/c ... Cr $15,000

    B's Capital A/c ... Cr $9,000

    C's Capital A/c ... Cr $6,000

    Working Note:

    The amount of land is to be proportionate as the ratio of the partners which is computed as:

    A's Capital A/c = Land amount * Ratio of A / Sum of ratios

    = $30,000 * 5 / 10

    = $15,000

    B's Capital A/c = Land amount * Ratio of A / Sum of ratios

    = $30,000 * 3 / 10

    = $9,000

    C's Capital A/c = Land amount * Ratio of A / Sum of ratios

    = $30,000 * 2 / 10

    = $6,000
