A partnership has the following account balances: Cash, $80,000; Other Assets, $590,000; Liabilities, $248,000; Nixon (50 percent of profits and losses), $200,000; Cleveland (30 percent), $135,000; Pierce (20 percent), $87,000. The company liquidates, and $18,500 becomes available to the partners. Who gets the $18,500? Determine how much of this amount should be distributed to each partner.(Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Total capital of the partnership = 200000+135000+87000 = | 422000 | |||
Amount available | 18500 | |||
Maximum loss (422000-18500) | 403500 | |||
Distribution would be made as below: | Nixon | Cleveland | Pierce | Total |
Reported balance | 200000 | 135000 | 87000 | 422000 |
Share of maximum loss in the ratio of 5:3:2 | 201750 | 121050 | 80700 | 403500 |
Potential balance | -1750 | 13950 | 6300 | 18500 |
Distribution of potential loss of Nixon to Cleveland and Pierce in the ratio of 3:2 | 1750 | -1050 | -700 | 0 |
Amount to be distributed | 0 | 12900 | 5600 | 18500 |
