Parsons Company wishes to liquidate the firm by distributing the
company’s cash to the three partners. Prior to the distribution of
cash, the company’s balances are: Cash $66,110; Oakley, Capital
(Cr.) $51,870; Quaney, Capital (Dr.) $29,360; and Ellis, Capital
(Cr.) $43,600. The income ratios of the three partners are 2 : 2 :
6, respectively.
Prepare the entry to record the absorption of Quaney’s capital
deficiency by the other partners and the distribution of cash to
the partners with credit balances.
Cash = $66,110
Oakley, capital = $51,870
Quaney, Capital = $29,360 (Debit)
Ellis, Capital = $43,600
Income ratio = 2 : 2 : 6
Deficiency in the account of Quaney will be borne by Oakley and Ellis in the ratio of 2 :6
Quaney's deficiency borne by Oakley = 29,360 x 2/8
= $7,340
Quaney's deficiency borne by Ellis = 29,360 x 6/8
= $22,020
Cash received by Oakley = Oakley, capital - Quaney's deficiency borne by Oakley
= 51,870 - 7,340
= $44,530
Cash received by Ellis = Ellis, Capital - Quaney's deficiency borne by Ellis
= 43,600 - 22,020
= $21,580
