Exercise 36

Turner, Roth, and Lowe are partners who share income and loss in a 1:4:5 ratio. After lengthy disagreements among the partners and several unprofitable periods, the partners decide to liquidate the partnership. Immediately before liquidation, the partnership balance sheet shows total assets, $126,000; total liabilities, $78,000; Turner, Capital, $2,500; Roth, Capital, $14,000; and Lowe, Capital, $31,500. The cash proceeds from selling the assets were sufficient to repay all but $28,000 to the creditors.
a. Calculate the loss from selling the assets.
b. Allocate the loss from part a to the partners.
c. Determine how much, if any, each partner should contribute to the partnership to cover any remaining capital deficiency.
