Answer: $12780

Explanation:

From the information given, the total capital for the partnership is calculated as:

= $61400 + $86300 + $52900

= $200600

Josh's share = 20% × $200600

= 20/100 × $200600

= 0.2 × $200600

= $40120

The amount of the bonus to the old partner would be:

= $52900 - $40120

= $12780
