a.$0
b.$5，000
c.$7，500
d.$20，000
Explanation
Choice “d” is correct，$20，000.
Robb's investment：
25% of total capital=$30，000
Calculate total capital $30，000/.25
Total capital=$120，000
Less existing capital balances：
Eagle $45，000
Falk 25，000
Robb 30，000
Total assets contributed=$100，000
Goodwill to original partners=$ 20，000
