The partnership will credit the L. Martinez, Capital account for $35,000

Explanation:

Net Income = $70,000

Percentage Share of income and loss = 50%

Amount to be credited is calculated as follows.

Amount = Net Income * Percentage Share of income and loss

By Substituton

Amount = $70,000 * 50%

Amount = $70,000 * 50/100

Amount = $70,000 * ½

Amount = $70,000/2

Amount = $35,000

Hence, the partnership will credit the L. Martinez, Capital account for $35,000
