Liquidating Partnerships
Prior to liquidating their partnership, MacPherson and Ericson had capital accounts of $54,000 and $93,000, respectively. Prior to liquidation, the partnership had no cash assets other than what was realized from the sale of assets. These partnership assets were sold for $139,000. The partnership had $4,000 of liabilities. MacPherson and Ericson share income and losses equally.
Determine the amount received by MacPherson as a final
distribution from liquidation of the partnership.
$
Macpherson equity to prior liquidation = $54,000
Realization of asset sale = $139,000
Book value of assets = Macpherson equity to prior liquidation + Ericson equity to prior liquidation + Partnership liability
= 54,000 + 93,000 + 4,000
= $151,000
Loss on liquidation = Realization of asset sale - Book value of assets
= 139,000 - 151,000
= - $12,000
Macpherson share of loss = 12,000 x 50%
= $6,000
MacPherson final distribution = 54,000 + 6,000
= $60,000
