closing balance         58,360           68,040     87,600

Explanation:

1. Interest on capital is based on weighted average capital balance without regard to normal drawings

James    =( 8% * 48,000) + ( 8%* 12,000 * 7/12) = $4,400

on the additional capital invested by James, interest on capital will be calculated for 7months

Keller =  8% * 70,000  =  $5,600

River =  8% * 90,000 = 7200
