The journal entry to reflect the bonus to Wang will include a credit to Wang, Capital in the amount of $4,000

First step is to calculate S. Wang and T. Wu and  J. Li capital amount

Capital=$50,000+$50,000+$20,000

Capital=$120,000

Second step is to calculate their new capital

New capital=$120,000*.10

New capital=$12,000

Now to determine Wang bonus amount we have to divide the capital equally between S. Wang and T. Wu

Bonus=($20,000-$12,000)/2
