    Capital account for Martin on December 31 is $201,000

    Capital account for Hawk on December 31 is $213,000

    Total capital for the partnership on December 31 $414,000

    Explanation:

    If articles of partnership make no reference to the division of net income. then net income will be divided equally among both of them.

    Capital account for Martin on December 31

    = $140,000 + (-$68,000) + ($258,000 / 2)

    = $140,000 - $68,000 + $129,000

    = $201,000

    Capital account for Hawk on December 31

    = $160,000 + $10,000 + (-$86,000) + ($258,000 / 2)

    = $170,000 - $86,000 + $129,000

    = $213,000

    Total capital for the partnership on December 31

    = Capital account for Hawk (+) Capital account for Martin

    = $201,000 + $213,000

    = $414,000
