    A) $3,429

    Explanation:

    Bonus capital paid by the new shareholders will be distributed among the Old Partner on the basis of their old sharing ratio

    Capital Balance of Peter = $38,000

    Settlement amount = $20,000

    As we does not have revised profit ratios, Peter and Chris will share profit on their old ratios.

    Remaining balance of Gary's capital = $26,000 - $20,000 = $6,000

    Peter Share = 4/7 x $6,000 = $3,429
