Question

Following is a series of independent cases. In each situation, indicate the cash distribution to be made to partners at the end of the liquidation process. Unless otherwise stated, assume that all solvent partners will reimburse the partnership for their deficit capital balances.

 

Part A

The Buarque, Monte, and Vinicius partnership reports the following accounts. Vinicius is personally insolvent and can contribute only an additional $34,000 to the partnership.

 

       
Cash $ 155,000  
Liabilities   60,000  
Monte, loan   70,000  
Buarque, capital (50% of profits and losses)   22,000  
Monte, capital (25%)   43,000  
Vinicius, capital (25%)   (40,000 ) (deficit)
 

 

Part B

Drawdy, Langston, and Pearl operate a local accounting firm as a partnership. After working together for several years, they have decided to liquidate the partnership’s property. The partners have prepared the following balance sheet:

 

             
Cash $ 45,000   Liabilities $  59,500
Drawdy, loan   30,000   Langston, loan   26,000
Noncash assets   200,000   Drawdy, capital (40%)   90,000
        Langston, capital (30%)   75,000
        Pearl, capital (30%)   24,500
Total assets $ 275,000   Total liabilities and capital $ 275,000
 

 

The firm sells the noncash assets for $145,000; it will use $40,000 of this amount to pay liquidation expenses. All three of these partners are personally insolvent.

 

Part C

Drawdy, Langston, and Pearl operate a local accounting firm as a partnership. After working together for several years, they have decided to liquidate the partnership’s property. The partners have prepared the following balance sheet:

 

             
Cash $ 45,000   Liabilities $  59,500
Drawdy, loan   30,000   Langston, loan   26,000
Noncash assets   200,000   Drawdy, capital   90,000
        Langston, capital   75,000
        Pearl, capital   24,500
Total assets $ 275,000   Total liabilities and capital $ 275,000
 

 

The firm sells the noncash assets for $145,000; it will use $31,000 of this amount to pay liquidation expenses. All three of these partners are personally insolvent. Assume that the profits and losses are split 2:4:4 to Drawdy, Langston, and Pearl, respectively.

 

Part D

Krups, capital (30% of profits and losses)   (70,000 ) deficit
Lindau, capital (30%)   (55,000 ) deficit
Riedel, capital (20%)   40,000  
Schnee, capital (20%)   45,000
