Solution

To determine the amount of cash Gamena should contribute, we first need to calculate the total capital that Startna and Gamena should have in the partnership based on Startna's contribution.

Startna's contribution of P300,000 represents 48% of the total capital. Therefore, the total capital of the partnership should be P300,000 / 0.48 = P625,000.

Next, we calculate Gamena's contribution in assets. The land has a fair market value of P70,000 and the building has a fair market value of P90,000. However, the building is subject to a P40,000 mortgage that the partnership will assume, which reduces its net value to P50,000 (P90,000 - P40,000).

So, Gamena's total contribution in assets is P70,000 (land) + P50,000 (building) = P120,000.

Finally, to find out how much cash Gamena should contribute, we subtract Gamena's contribution in assets from her total required contribution (which is the total capital minus Startna's contribution).

So, Gamena's cash contribution should be P625,000 (total capital) - P300,000 (Startna's contribution) - P120,000 (Gamena's contribution in assets) = P205,000.
