required:
a. on december 31, provide the journal entry for the revaluation of land.*
b. on december 31, provide the journal entry to admit roberts.*
*refer to the chart of accounts for exact wording of account titles.

For both the parts the journal entry would be shown below:

Explanation:

A

The journal entry for recording the revaluation of the land is as:

Land A/cDr   $50,000

    Tony Vale Capital A/cCr   $25,000

     Ennis Leinghton Capital A/cCr   $25,000

The land is revalued and the surplus amount is credited to the partners account in the profit sharing ratio.

B

The journal entry for recording the admission of new partner and new partner is Craig Robert:

Bank A/cDr   $34,000

       Craig Robert's Capital A/cCr   $34,000

The amount which is contributed by Robert as capital.

Craig Robert's Capital A/cDr    $3500

   Ennis Leinghton Capital A/cCr  $3500

The account of Robert is debited with the share of goodwill and credited to Leinghton account.

Working Note:

Land Value = Market Value - Book Value

= $130,000 - $80,000

= $50,000

And they are sharing equally so it will be $25,000 ($50,000 / 2) to each partner

Capital balance of Ennis Leinghton after land

= $36,000 + $25,000

= $61,000

Robert purchased 1/2 of Leinghton interest in partnership so

= $61,000 / 2

= $30,500

But he paid $34,000, so the remaining balance of $3500 ($30,500 - $34,000) will be bought towards goodwill.
