The partners do not wish to have any goodwill exist on their books, and they have carefully studied their various asset values to determine the basis for Peters' investment. It is agreed that prior to admission of Peters, the receivables $66,000. Peters agrees to invest $75,000 for a one-third interest in the partnership.
