    The correct answer is B, a bonus may be attributable to the old partner.

    Explanation:

    Joining an existing business is more easier than starting a fresh one, hence choosing to join an established business that has likely broke even and now in profit territory must be paid for in some way.

    From the foregoing analysis, the old partners might be unwilling to admit a new one except that the new one is ready to pay a premium over the book value of assets acquired in the business in compensation for the existing partners' efforts since commencement of business.
