a.
	E Investment = 25% (Original Capital + E Investment)
	El = .25 ($414,000 + El)
	El = $103,500 + .25 El
	.75 El = $103,500
	E Investment	$   138,000
b.	Implied value of partnership ($50,000 ÷ 10%)		$   500,000
	Total capital after investment by E ($414,000 + $50,000)		$   464,000
	Goodwill		$      36,000
	Allocation of Goodwill:
	A	30%	$      10,800
	B	10%	$        3,600
	C	40%	$      14,400
	D	20%	$        7,200
	Total		$      36,000
	Capital balance:
			A	B	C	D	E
	Original balances		$      56,000	$      76,000	$     126,000	$   156,000	$            -

	Investment		$               -	$               -	$                 -	$               -	$   50,000
	Capital balances		$      66,800	$      79,600	$     140,400	$   163,200	$   50,000
c.	Because E's investment of $68,000 is less than 20% of the resulting capital ($482,000).computed:
	E is apparently bringing some other attribute to the partnership (goodwill) that must be
	E Investment = 20% (Original Capital + E Investment)
	$68,000 + Goodwill = .20 ($414,000 + $68,000 + Goodwill)				$       68,000	$   482,000
	$68,000 + Goodwill = $96,400 + .20 Goodwill					$      96,400	$   28,400
	.80 Goodwill = $28,400						$   35,500
	Goodwill	$      35,500
	Hence E's Total Investment ($68,000+$33,000)	$   103,500
	Other, remain unchanged
