B.) how much liability is allocable to spirit world?

C.) How much gain is recognized by spirit world for the conributed cash?

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that

Assets = 1750000

Liability = 1200000

Net = Assets- Liability

= 1750000-1200000

= 550000

Adjusted value

= 400000

So here we have the loss for mother nature which i equals to = net -adjusted value

=550000-400000

=150000

100% value of partnership earth is given as follows

i.e., = 400000*(100/60)

= 400000*1.6666666

= 666666.6667

= 666667

Now contribution by the mother nature = 666667-400000

= 266667

cash given by the spirit world = 20000

Finally the gain recognised by the spirit world is = 266667 - 20000

= 146667
