The capital gain represents Goodwill in the hands of the new owner The real question is what is the balance on the Equity account without that you don't know what the real capital gain is. The transactions between the sellers and the buyers are given to you above so there is a receipt of cash and a payment of cash with the other side of the entry being an investment in each case and a capital gain on one hand.
