Answer:

D. $137,600 $38,400

Explanation:

As for the provided information, we have,

Total capital = $230,000

1/5th of this capital = $230,000/5 = $46,000

therefore, goodwill not recorded = $50,000 - $46,000 = $4,000

For this capital of Jacob and Katy will be debited.

Jacob = $4,000 [tex]\times[/tex] 3/5 = $2,400

Kathy =  $4,000 [tex]\times[/tex] 2/5 = $1,600

Therefore, capital balances of Jacob and Kathy shall be:

Jacob = $140,000 - $2,400 = $137,600

Kathy = $40,000 - $1,600 = $38,400
