Answer:

The correct option is (D)

Explanation:

Given:

Allen's capital = $140,000

Daniel's capital = $40,000

Total capital before admitting David = $180,000

David's interest in partnership is 1/5 or 20%. So Allen and Daniel's capital will now be 80%.

Required capital after admitting David = [tex]\frac{180,000}{0.8}[/tex]

= $225,000

David's investment = 225,000 - 180,000

                                = $45,000

Therefore, David's investment in partnership is $45,000
