Barber's beginning partnership capital balance for the current year is $314,000, and Atkins' beginning partnership capital balance for the current year is $232,000. The partnership had net income of $152,000 for the year. Barber withdrew $86,000 during the year and Atkins withdrew $25,000. What is Barber's ending equity

The answer is $304,000

Explanation:

Barber's ending equity is:

Barber's beginning partnership capital balance for the current year plus share of partnership net income minus Barber's withdrawal

Barber's beginning partnership capital balance for the current is $314,000

Share of partnership net income

= $152,000 /2

= $76,000

Barber's withdrawal = $86,000

Therefore, Barber's ending equity is

$314,000 + $76,000 - $86,000

= $304,000
