    D) $165,000

    Explanation:

    Partner Capital Balance Income Share

    Nunes $250,000 20%

    Orta $180,000 30%

    Paulo $150,000 50%

    Totals $580,000 100%

    Orta's balance - capital balance = $180,000 - $159,000 = $21,000 which will increase the partnership's total capital balance

    partnership's capital balance = $421,000

    the extra $21,000 will be divided according to each remaining partner's income distribution:

    Paulo = (50%/70%) x $21,000 = $15,000 Nunes = (20%/70%) x $21,000 = $6,000

    Paulo's capital balance = $150,000 + $15,000 = $165,000
