Answer:

Explanation:

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

= 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)
