Answer:

The amount of bonus to the old partner is = $18,000

Explanation:

Samuel capital = $50,000

Darci capital = $60,000

Josh's capital = $50,000

Total capital of the three partners = $50,000 + $60,000 + $50,000

Total capital of the three partners = $160,000

Josh's share = $160,000 × 20%

Josh's share = $32,000

The amount of bonus to the old partners= $50,000-$32,000  = $18,000
